<p>To state the obvious, change management can be hard in software testing groups. From my experiences, this often appears to be true even when benefits to change appear obvious and non-controversial. </p> <p>What successful case studies exist that can give hope to those of us who want to drive change initiatives and improve the testing of the groups we work in?</p>

http://testing.stackexchange.com/questions/494/overusing-qtp-dotnetfactory-in-automations stack 2010-03-18T15:26:04Z 2010-03-19T14:45:18Z

<p>In Quick Test Professional, it is possible to call into a .NET assembly using DotNetFactory. As someone with a fair bit of .NET experience, this is very awesome. However, it also looks like a huge opportunity to make my QTP automations virtually unreadable to someone who isn't familiar with .NET. This would become an even bigger issue with assemblies I build myself, since documentation would be in an unexpected place separate from the rest of the .NET documentation (all things held equal).</p> <p>What does the community think about this potential issue? Does anyone have experience managing this? I really like the idea of using .NET assemblies to extend my QTP automations, and I would probably use it extensively if I could guarantee all coworkers would be equally familiar with the framework. However, that isn't the case here.</p> <p>Another issue would seem to be performance -- presumably, performance would degrade with increased references to external assemblies, but does anyone have experience/information that indicates this is not an issue worth worrying about?</p> <p><strike><em>Administrative note: a QTP tag is needed.</em></strike></p>

<p>On Agile talks and presentations there are many references or hints that being an "<code>Agile Tester</code>" is different, and that Agile requires a different set of skills from a tester.</p> <p>If I had to summarise the presentations and blogs about these 'differences', these are the traits such a tester needs:</p> <ul> <li>Keeps the customer in mind</li> <li>Is a great team player</li> <li>Communicates often and accurately</li> <li>Knows when to automate a test <ul> <li>And then knows how to automate</li> </ul></li> <li>Knows how to test manually when necessary</li> <li>Uses the documentation available as another source of information, not as a contract <ul> <li>Unless it is appropriate to use it strictly :)</li> </ul></li> <li>Focus on results and shows a pragmatic approach</li> <li>Excels at learning about the product and exploring it during tests</li> <li>Doesn't take responsibility for the quality, or acts as the quality gate</li> <li>Thinks critically and shares her views with the team</li> <li>Develops herself constantly<br> --> I may have left a topic out (<em>have to read all those posts again :)</em>).</li> </ul> <p>But, the point is: <strong>These are soft skills I expect from a great tester in <em>any</em> context, process or method. Not only Agile.</strong><br> Experienced Agile people confirmed my view that there isn't in fact any difference, and this is the opinion of more people online (<em>see comments in <a href="http://gojko.net/2009/10/13/are-agile-testers-different/" rel="nofollow">Gojko's post</a></em>).</p> <p>What is your opinion? Can you share from your experience?<br> <strong>Are Agile Testers different? Do they need to be?</strong></p>

<p>On <a href="http://ask.slashdot.org/submission/1175428/What-Should-Self-Taught-Programmers-Learn" rel="nofollow">Slashdot</a> a few weeks ago there was the following post:</p> <blockquote> <p>BeardedChimp writes <i>"I like many others here have learnt to program by myself, starting at a young age and learning through fiddling. Starting with basic I've learnt c++, java, python, php etc. but what I want to know is what I haven't learnt that is important when taught in a traditional computer science education. I have a degree in physics so I'm not adverse to maths, what books/websites would you recommend?"</i></p> </blockquote> <p>I would ask the same - but it is probably more broad since most testers are self taught, what should self taught testers learn?</p>

<p>We have production class S, which comprises (for the sake of discussion) the system under test. Class S uses class D, a data object with basically no logic to speak of.</p> <p>I'm writing test code in class T, designed to test the operation of class S. It needs to store data in a way that's substantially similar to D -- it's not identical, but it is a subset of D, so D would be functionally sufficient to accomplish the needs of T; indeed, by the nature of the problem, class D will always be sufficient by definition (this is because there would never be data required by T that would be expected to be stored in D if it did not already exist in D, since D always reflects a complete description of the data in question).</p> <p>Assume that class D is unit tested. Is it unsafe/unusual to use class D as the data storage object in test class T? Is the relatively small effort required to generate an equivalent data class for the test worth the benefit of avoiding coupling with the system under test?</p>

<p>On Twitter, @dailytestingtip (which I recommend following) posted the following list of a bazillion tools that can help software testers test for accessibility: <a href="http://ow.ly/y0Lf" rel="nofollow">http://ow.ly/y0Lf</a></p> <p>My questions are: which tools are you using?

<p>A variety of staff organization methods exist with a variety of different ways of integrating test staff into the hierarchy. What are some great ways you've seen this done, and what are some terrible ways? What are the pros and cons of the structures you've seen?</p> <p>For the sake of discussion, the following three individual contributor types are considered:</p> <ul> <li>Program Manager/Business Analyst (requirements)</li> <li>Developer (code)</li> <li>Tester/QA (test)</li> </ul> <p>For example, you might have the following org structure:</p> <ul> <li>Product Owner <ul> <li>Feature Area Owner <ul> <li>Program Manager/Business Analyst lead (hereafter "PM") <ul> <li>PM</li> <li>PM</li> </ul> </li> <li>Dev lead <ul> <li>Developer</li> <li>Developer</li> <li>Developer</li> </ul> </li> <li>Test/QA lead <ul> <li>Tester</li> <li>Tester</li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> <ul> <li>Feature Area Owner <ul><li>...</li></ul> </li> <li>Feature Area Owner <ul><li>...</li></ul> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> <p>This example gives special consideration to having an organizational structure centered around test. Another variant could even add another Dev Owner/Test Owner/PM Owner level under Product Owner, with similarly parallel hierarchies. With this model, the biggest advantage seems to be that test has more "clout", as it were; however, it also seems to sacrifice a bit of the connection between the tester and his/her Dev/PM partners.</p> <p>Or you might have the following:</p> <ul> <li>Product Owner <ul> <li>Feature Area Owner <ul> <li>Sr. PM</li> <li>PM</li> <li>Sr. developer</li> <li>Developer</li> <li>Developer</li> <li>Developer</li> <li>Sr. Tester</li> <li>Tester</li> </ul> </li> </ul> <ul> <li>Feature Area Owner <ul><li>...</li></ul> </li> <li>Feature Area Owner <ul><li>...</li></ul> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> <p>This one would seem to enhance the connection between the three roles, but, in a typical situation, I imagine one would find that the developers would end up with the most clout, potentially stifling the other roles' influence on product and process.</p> <p>Do you have any time-tested methods of organizing your staff? Any thoughts on these (or any other) examples? How does the level of technical skill in the test staff affect organizational decisions, if at all?</p>

<p>Luis Fernández, an Associate professor at Universidad de Alcala is conducting a survey of software testers and trying to gather data relating to, e.g., "Why isn't software testing conducted as efficiently and effectively as it should be?" and "What factors lead to software testing being 'underappreciated' as a potential career path?"</p> <p>His survey (as of March, 2010) is listed here: <a href="http://www.cc.uah.es/encuestas/index.php?sid=28392&amp;lang=en" rel="nofollow">http://www.cc.uah.es/encuestas/index.php?sid=28392&amp;lang=en</a></p> <p>Personally, I agree that the following two issues (identified in his survey) are significant causes of inefficiency in software testing:</p> <p>1) "People tend to execute testing in an uncontrolled manner until the total expenditure of resources in the belief that if we test a lot, in the end, we will cover or control all the system" (or, at least, given the relatively undisciplined test case selection methods prevalent in the industry, testers generally believe they are covering more than they actually are and they underestimate the amount of time they spend unproductively repeating steps that they have previously tested)</p> <p>2) "Many managers did not receive appropriate training on software testing so they do not appreciate its interest or potential for efficiency and quality" </p> <p>It is unfortunate, but true, that many testing managers do not have any background whatsoever in combinatorial testing methods that dramatically improve test design times and simultaneously improve test execution efficiency when applied correctly. See, for example, <a href="https://www.hexawise.com/Combinatorial-Softwar-Testing-Case-Studies-IEEE-Computer-Kuhn-Kacker-Lei-Hunter.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://www.hexawise.com/Combinatorial-Softwar-Testing-Case-Studies-IEEE-Computer-Kuhn-Kacker-Lei-Hunter.pdf</a></p> <p>See also: <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/JustinHunter/efficient-and-effective-test-design" rel="nofollow">http://www.slideshare.net/JustinHunter/efficient-and-effective-test-design</a></p> <p>Please consider taking the short survey.

<p>One of my UI developers asked if there was an easy way to navigate through our various customer sites and take a screen shot of each page as various functions are executed.</p> <p>We already use Selenium to verify the sites, so the logical extension is to use Selenium to traverse the site and take snapshots at various points. This could also be useful when tests fail to help debugging.</p> <p>I found a posting by Binil Thomas on this subject - <a href="http://binil.wordpress.com/2006/12/22/taking-screenshots-with-selenium/" rel="nofollow">http://binil.wordpress.com/2006/12/22/taking-screenshots-with-selenium/</a>.

<p>OK, first things first here:</p> <p>I know this is, in the words of Michael Bolton, a "<a href="http://www.satisfice.com/blog/archives/67" rel="nofollow">unicorn question</a>" and also that the challenge in providing a meaningful answer to this question is compounded because, e.g., the definitions of "what is a 'Systems Test'?" will vary significantly between companies, the cost of fixing defects in production will vary tremendously based on whether the application is web-based or not, etc. Even so, I am interested in: what rules of thumb do you use? </p> <p>My rationale for asking the question: it is a practical question that managers should think through in order to make useful decisions about, e.g., "how much of our testing effort (and budget) should be focused on finding defects earlier as opposed to later?" "When should we stop testing?" etc. </p> <ul> <li><p>Quick, high-level "gut-feel" rules of thumb would be interesting as data points. </p></li> <li><p>Answers that dodge providing specific figures but instead say, "I've addressed the rationale behind the question a few times in different contexts and have found the following ways of thinking about the topics are useful..." would be welcome.</p></li> <li><p>Ratios (as opposed to dollar figures) would be totally fine.</p></li> <li><p>Different definitions of different phases of testing would be totally fine.</p></li> <li><p>Answers citing actual case studies and/or methods used to gather the data would be especially interesting.</p></li> <li><p>Answers referring to factors that impact the costs and/or ratios would be superb and "above and beyond" the call of duty.

<p>We've got some production code, and we've got some test code that operates on it. Specifically, this is an application that parses a file, stores it, and generates a new file based on the first. Ultimately, when you look at it from a high level, it's apparent that the test code has become a slightly different version of the production code, with added validations.</p> <p>I'm inclined to think that this is a potential pitfall of automating tests with code. Does this mean I've gotten too deep on the testing? Am I wasting my time where I could be focusing on other aspects of the system under test? Of course, there's an opportunity to integrate my validation code into the production code (with consideration needed for performance impact), but this "smells" odd in a way I can't place.</p> <p>This isn't a terribly specific question, but I believe the concept stands: is duplicating production functionality for the purpose of validating its output a worthwhile endeavor? Is this merely a property of testing software, taken to the extreme?</p> <p><em>(As an aside, I'd add the tag "coding" if it were available in some form.)</em></p> <p><b>Edit:</b> (added from my comment on an answer) This was a Testing In Production situation with a tight deadline (less than one day to learn the system and test it), so verifying the live data seemed like a good idea. In retrospect, it seems like that time could have been spent building out good inputs instead. On the other hand, the voluminous data available might have been better at generating strange edge cases in such a short period.</p>

It is clear that stackoverflow has become an extremely useful site for software developers to find answers to difficult questions (no matter how obscure) and share their ideas and expertise. There is no reason why we can't create a similar site for software testing professionals that would be equally useful. All we need is additional contributors combined with polite and thoughtful exchange of ideas.</p> <p>How can we get additional people (presumably people like you) to ask and answer questions while the site is still new (and therefore has too little content to be self-sufficient)? (I'll propose several potential answers. Please vote for the ones that you feel are the best).</p> <p>Thanks.</p> <p>Justin </p>
