Knowledge is Power!
Project Quality Assurance By André Vondran
Acceptance Tests
Write the acceptance tests (meaning any tests needed beyond unit and integration tests: system, functional, end-to-end, performance, security, whatever) during the planning phases of the project, rather than after development is complete.
More importantly, if you’re trying an agile approach, write executable acceptance tests.
Executable acceptance tests serve two purposes.
First of all, they’re a mechanism to involve your ‘customer’ or business expert in defining the tests which will verify that the level of quality and functionality he has specified is met.
Secondly, they are a part of your automated acceptance test framework.
If you can, avoid having to re-work your acceptance test cases into input to test automation tools. There are quite a few test tool frameworks which allow this.
The concept of data-driven testing isn’t new to XP, and there are plenty of tools which let you define tests in an Excel spreadsheet and then use these as input to your automated tests.
XP-style test frameworks abound, as well.
It doesn’t matter what tool you’re going to use.
Defining acceptance test cases up front helps your programmers write the correct code.
It gives you a huge jump on your testing too.
A word about test plans. Nobody ever reads them, so try not to write them.
They’re cumbersome to write and impossible to maintain. Just write test cases.
If your organization requires you to deliver a test plan, try to include information that will be useful to you, such as a release plan, and refer to the test cases as much as possible.
Technical Design
Depending on your technical skills, technical design meetings may be painful for you. Try to attend them anyway, if you have the opportunity.
If you can even ask one question or make one comment that leads to a more testable design, you’re way ahead of the game.
XP has the wonderful benefit of making everyone on the development team conscious of testability.
If you have to automate and perform acceptance tests, and it’s hard to do because your GUI is thick or hooked up to the back end in a way that you can’t test much behind the GUI, your next application is bound to be designed to be more testable.
Unfortunately, your traditional development project won’t give you this golden opportunity.
You can still raise these issues yourself (tactfully, of course) at design meetings.
You can also continue to help facilitate communication between the business stakeholders and the programmers.
You understand the application pretty well by now, and you probably are more familiar with the technical issues than the folks on the business side.
Remember that communication value!

Artistic Vision
Posted by Stacy Esch on November 6, 2023 at 8:15pm 10 Comments 0 Likes
Is an artist's "vision" primarily a product of experience or imagination? I don't want to pursue the simple answer that it's both. Is it primarily one or the other, of if it's just plain old both, how do they interact to create an imaginary world?
Is it true that some people have more artistic vision than others, or is this kind of seeing equally available to all?
Trying to find treatment.

In the beginning of August 2008 I was doing great. I went to the gym 3 times a week for 3 hours each time. I had lost weight and had a nice tone coming. I was nicely tanned with some help of the tanning beds. I rode my motorcycle back and forth to work and to the gym. In the middle of August a leg press came down on top of my head while i was trying to get it reset to the proper location so I would be able to use the equipment. I got very dizzy and had to go home, that was the end of my…
