'Life is too short for manual testing' By André Vondran

My experience as a tester shows that the nastiest bugs are often discovered by manual testing. But when you do discover them manually, the best strategy is to write automated tests for them, so that you'll check your application in that particular area…

Q1: Why use Agile methods?



Because they work. If they don't work in your organization, there's no reason whatsoever to use them—certainly not so you can brag about being "agile."…

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…

Testing the Documentation by André Vondran - This is a MUST

Whether or not you attend the meetings, you can add value to the project by ‘testing’ the documentation.

This isn’t an XP concept, but it is linked to flushing out hidden assumptions during XP planning games.

One way to test documents is to read through the document, writing a list of assertions.

For example, maybe you’re reading requirements for an order entry system and have come up with these assertions:

  • "The system will capture the customer service…

André Vondran: SQA Values

Earlier in this article I referred to the values by which XP teams develop software.

  • Communication
  • Simplicity
  • Feedback
  • Courage

Some people have added their own values to this list – the one I liked best is ‘enjoyment’.

Extreme Programming is the only ‘official’ agile method I have actually practiced, but from what I have learned of agile software development in general, you can always turn to these values for…

XP Testing Without an XP Team, By André Vondran

After my rewarding, if challenging, experience as a tester on XP teams, the bad economic times caught up with me and I had to take a job back on the "dark side".

Oh, my new company was great and they were interested in XP, but they were a tiny shop with a huge job to do and it felt to me like barely controlled chaos.

My initial attempts to apply XP practices, such as having daily XP-style stand-ups with my test team, were disasters. I just had to hunker…

The Nature of XP Testing, By André Vondran

The biggest difference between XP projects and most ‘traditional’ software development projects is the concept of test-driven development. With XP, every chunk of code is covered by unit tests, which must all pass all the time. The absence of unit-level and regression bugs means that testers actually get to focus on their job: making sure the…

XP Tester Activities, By Andre Vondran



Here are some activities testers perform on XP teams.

•Negotiate quality with the customer (it’s not YOUR standard of quality, it’s what the customer desires and is willing to pay for!)

•Clarify stories, flush out hidden assumptions

•Enable accurate estimates for both programming and testing tasks

•Make sure the acceptance tests verify the quality specified by the customer

•Help the team automate tests

•Help the team produce testable code

•Form an…

How XP Testing is Different By Andre Vondran

I found that XP testing was different in many ways from ‘traditional’ testing. The biggest difference is that on an XP project, the entire development team takes responsibility for quality. This means the whole team is responsible for all testing tasks, including acceptance test automation. When testers and programmers work together, the…

What is Agile Testing ? By Andre Vondran

Historically, testing has always been about finding where the software breaks. In fact, when we talk about the qualities of a good tester we quote anecdotes about how "she was able to break my program in 3 minutes" or that "he found 27 bugs when running on Linux…

XP Testing Without XP: Taking Advantage of Agile Testing Practices By Andre Vondran

What Skills Performance Testers Need and How to Get Them? By André Vondran - QA Analyst

From time to time I see questions on different forums asking what skills are necessary for performance testers. There were pretty interesting discussions. Looks like most experts agree that performance testing requires more skills than just knowledge about how to create a script for a particular load testing tool. While it is still possible to imagine a…

What is Software Testing? By André Vondran - Software Quality Assurance Analyst

Defect can be caused by a flaw in the application software or by a flaw in the application specification. For example, unexpected (incorrect) results can be from errors made during the construction phase, or from an algorithm incorrectly defined in the specification. Testing is commonly assumed to mean executing software and…

Artistic Vision

Posted by Stacy Esch on November 6, 2023 at 8:15pm 10 Comments

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…
