Posted by Brent Stineman on 11 May 2012 in Cloud Computing DigestHere we are back for my second update in a row. Not being “on the road” has its perks. Still to early to call this a trend yet, but hopefully I can start getting back into my old habits. But enough about me, on to this week’s digest. I often post articles here on things […]

Posted by Brent Stineman on 4 May 2012 in Cloud Computing DigestI’m making a resolution that this blob will be updated at least once a week for the next two months. Even if I have to enlist some assistance in making that happen. Ok, I was planning to do that anyways. J So without further delay, here’s another edition… Those of us that do cloud computing know […]

Posted by Daniel Falk on 3 May 2012 in Tester Using VS 2010 and TFS 2010Earlier this week I encountered a great example of something that Test Automation people have to deal with on a regular basis. Screenshot #1 Screenshot #2 The left side of each screenshot shows a Close Confirmation Window from two different applications. The windows appear to be visually identical. The right side of each screenshot shows results from the […]

Posted by Daniel Falk on 29 March 2012 in Tester Using VS 2010 and TFS 2010I just stumbled across this article that contains a list of videos provided by Microsoft on VS ALM and TFS 2010. Videos about Visual Studio ALM + Team Foundation Server 2010 on MSDN

Posted by Daniel Falk on 29 March 2012 in Tester Using VS 2010 and TFS 2010Here’s an excerpt from a post that talks about how to utilize MTM to execute Automated Tests even if you don’t have the ability to use the Build Process (which is required). If you aren’t using Team Build to generate your builds yet then you’ll need to use “Fake Builds” that your test plan can reference […]

Posted by Daniel Falk on 29 March 2012 in Tester Using VS 2010 and TFS 2010While performing the experiments described in this post, I made some interesting discoveries about the relationship between Automated Testing with CUIT and the Build Process. Here are my findings thus far. Discovered that a Build must be associated to the Test Plan (either through the properties or via the Run With Options selection) in order to […]

Posted by Daniel Falk on 20 March 2012 in Tester Using VS 2010 and TFS 2010So, this happened. http://www.devexpress.com/Support/Center/p/Q382773.aspx As a result, I’ve been doing some experimentation. This post is a record of my findings. Quote from DevExpress: “To record tests you’ll need DXperience installed, to play the tests, DXPerience is not required.” Once DX is installed, a new Reference will be auto-added to the Test Project when the tester adds a CUIT to […]

Posted by Daniel Falk on 19 March 2012 in Tester Using VS 2010 and TFS 2010I stumbled upon this article recently. It is entitled “Running Automated Tests from Microsoft Test Manager”. http://www.deliveron.com/blog/post/Running-Automated-Tests-from-Microsoft-Test-Manager.aspx The article goes through the basic steps of configuring MTM so it can run CUI Tests that have been associated with Test Cases. This process is not as intuitive as you might hope, so this article is a “must read” […]

Posted by Brent Stineman on 16 March 2012 in Cloud Computing DigestWelcome to another edition of the “supposedly weekly but lately more like monthly” Cloud Computing Digest. I’m lining up a few folks to help me get this back to a weekly feature so here’s hoping that it pays off going forward. In the meantime, here’s the news. I’m going to start off the biggest news […]

Posted by Brent Stineman on 12 February 2012 in Cloud Computing DigestWow! Has it really been over a month since my last update? I’ve been so busy it seemed like there was always something else I needed to do. And I still don’t feel like I’ve accomplished half of what I needed to over the last month. But enough excuses… To start things off, I have a […]

Posted by Roy Davis on 13 January 2012 in Roy Davis's BlogThis morning I was reminded why it is important to use a human test on all web forms that allow anonymous submission. My inbox was flooded with responses to inquiries which were made using my email address starting at 2am this morning (when I was asleep). Am I interested in attending National American University? No. […]

Posted by Brent Stineman on 6 January 2012 in Cloud Computing DigestHappy 2012 folks! I took some time off over the holidays to recharge my batteries and it appears to be paying off. It’s been slow getting back into things but today I’m feeling good and ready to focus on knocking out some of my todo’s. First off my list today, a new Cloud Computing Digest. […]

Posted by Daniel Falk on 16 December 2011 in Tester Using VS 2010 and TFS 2010This is a technique I use a lot to sift through a given container in order to find a desired control. This is particular useful for “unsupported” controls where the CUIT Builder and associated search functions don’t work properly on these controls. In many cases, the CUITB just gets confused about the hierarchy of a given […]

Posted by Daniel Falk on 16 December 2011 in Tester Using VS 2010 and TFS 2010I stumbled across this article today. It is entitled “Troubleshooting Record and Playback issues with Coded UI Tests”. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/tapas_sahoos_blog/archive/2011/11/07/troubleshooting-record-and-playback-issues-in-coded-ui-test.aspx The techniques entailed in the article follow many of the same techniques I use myself while working through these sorts of problems. The difference being that I had to figure all that stuff out on my own. In […]

Posted by Brent Stineman on 16 December 2011 in Cloud Computing DigestSorry for the delay in another update. Between the post-holiday coma and fighting off some type of head cold that had me barely operating, it’s been difficult to gather news and get things posted. But that’s all behind me and I’m rested and back with some good updates! Last month, SalesForce took the covers off their […]

Posted by Scott Reichley on 2 December 2011 in Sogeti HP SolutionsOk, so this one isn’t specific to HP, but because a lot of our Alliance with HP is based on testing solutions and it’s such a great announcement, I think it deserves a post here. The Capgemini group was recently ranked number one for outsourced testing services! Sogeti, a subsidiary of the Capgemini group and a leading provider […]

All you need to do is download the patch for QTP 11 and you’re good to go. You still can’t record scripts with Chrome, but at least you can now execute them using Chrome.

Posted by Brent Stineman on 18 November 2011 in Cloud Computing DigestTrying to hurry up and knock this one out today before I pack up my hotel room and head over to the client. Couple more weeks left on this and then I get to spend some time at home. But you’re here for cloud news and I have some good snippets to share with you […]
