Testing is inevitable!

Welcome to Software Testing Techie Blog! Today I am going to write about something which we all observe but not pay enough attention to!

Testing is something which is innate in all of us! Yes, we all are testing throughout our life :)

The main reason could be the human behavior of not trusting anything. Remember the time when we were young and had a play guitar which was our favorite toy. How much testing was performed on it? We played with it until we broke it completely.

Hilarious!

Now observe a child when he is given anything to eat, he starts testing it by mashing it on the ground, looking at it number of times, beating it again and again and finally when he feels like it is good, he takes it in his mouth to eat. Testing is one of the most interesting fields, unlimited number of ways to test a particular software. But to enjoy testing, the only condition is to open up your mind and test.

You will find that you are learning something new everyday and your job would never feel boring. When I first saw automated test scripts and ran them, I was so amazed to see moving things in their own on my computer screen (Yes! I am weird.). The thing which motivates me to be a tester is to be responsible for the quality of a product. A quality software which customers would love to use and trust. They will thank you for all your efforts and making their experience an awesome one!

Yes! this is Software Testing and I will make all the testing concepts a piece of cake for you. Testing is an inevitable part of our existence. We test everyday in our day to day life ( I am not talking about your job) from morning till night. From playing game on our phone to patch test that new skin product.

I am going to cover most basics topic in my future posts! Please stay tuned.

Remove Blanks from Excel Sheet when Excel doesn't recognize field as blank

This is one of the tricks which always helped me in removing the blank fields from an Excel sheet especially when the values are copied from other sources. I have added screenshots of a sample data to show you all the actions step by step. Here are the steps to remove blanks by using one of the special functions in excel: 1. Select your data-set (Select the column which has blank values) 2. Press F5 3. Select "Special". You will see below screen: 4.Select Blanks and click Ok as shown 5. All the blank fields are now selected, you can proceed and delete all of them by selecting "delete" from the home menu. Here is the final result: I hope this was helpful. Share this with your colleagues and friends to help them out.

All About Continuous Integration in Agile

In my last post, Benefits of Early and Frequent Feedback in Agile development I mentioned how Continuous Integration helps in early and frequent feedback. In this post, we are going to go deeper into the concept and see what exactly it does, how it does and its benefits and challenges. Continuous Integration is an automated system which wraps configuration management, software build, deployment and testing into one repeatable process. The best practice is to run the whole set of set into the new build (with all the new code check ins) at least once a day. This gives a feedback on the build quality. If all the automated tests passed then the build can be used to perform deeper testing. Below are some of the activities carried out by CI: Code analysis Compilation of code and generating an executable file Perform Unit testing Deploying the build onto the testing environment Performing integration testing Generating reports In our project, nightly build and...

The Agile Manifesto Values and Principles

Agile manifesto refers to the set of rules or values used in an agile project. It contains mainly 4 values: Individual and Interactions Working software Customer collaboration Responding to change Over (in traditional project): Processes and Tools Comprehensive documentation Contract negotiation Following a plan Let's discuss these four values in details: Individual and Interactions : Agile development follows a whole team approach and is very people centered. Development team builds software through communication and interaction among different teams and people instead of depending on tools and processes. Individual team member offers a specific skill set and whole team involves in planning the development and testing strategies. Working software : It is always beneficial to see the working software instead of heavy documentation. It also helps developers in getting early feedback from the clients which in turn cuts down the cost of accommodating c...
