When message box is not sufficient!!




There are instances when we want to output a large amount of text and we can see just the truncated version in a msgbox. Here is a quick function that can be reused:

Sub Debug2(myText)
  ' Uncomment the next line to turn off debugging
  ' Exit Sub
  If Not IsObject(objIEDebugWindow) Then
    Set objIEDebugWindow = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
    objIEDebugWindow.Navigate "about:blank"
    objIEDebugWindow.Visible = True
    objIEDebugWindow.Toolbar = False
    objIEDebugWindow.Width = 200
    objIEDebugWindow.Height = 300
    objIEDebugWindow.Left = 10
    objIEDebugWindow.Top = 10
    Do While objIEDebugWindow.Busy
      WScript.Sleep 100
    Loop
    objIEDebugWindow.Document.Title = "IE Debug Window"
    objIEDebugWindow.Document.Body.InnerHTML = _
                 "" & Now & "
"
  End If
  objIEDebugWindow.Document.Body.InnerHTML = _
                   objIEDebugWindow.Document.Body.InnerHTML _
                   & myText & "
" & vbCrLf
End Sub

Software Testing @ Microsoft

Image
In continuation from my previous  series of posts  targeting testing in top few companies from the technology space. After  Software Testing @Facebook  and @Google  we shall now look at Microsoft: Testing@Microsoft Software Development Engineers in Test (SDETs) are usually just called Test and sometimes Software Testing. SDETs are responsible for maintaining high testing and qualityassurance standards for all Microsoft products. Software Development Engineers (SDEs) are often referred to as Software Development. SDEs write the code that drives Microsoft products and upgrades. Very few teams in Microsoft are still using SDETs to do significant amount of manual testing. Manual testing is mainly outsourced. Actually, as early as in 2004, for example, most of the manual testing of MSN Explorer was outsourced. Think about it this way: it just doesn't make sense for test manager to spend their headcount (SDETs) on something can be easily outsourced.  Until 2005, Microso

Trim / Remove spaces in Xpath?

If you are wondering how you can trim the spaces in your xpath, this is how: The normalize-space function strips leading and trailing white-space from a string, replaces sequences of white-space characters by a single space, and returns the resulting string. Example : Which one is better? //td[starts-with(normalize-space(),'Text to Trim')] //td[starts-with(normalize-space(text()),' Text to Trim ')] The second option is better as it targets at the specific nodes More string functions in XPATH: Functions Description starts-with( string1 ,  string2 ) Returns true if the first string starts with the second string. contains( string1 ,  string2 ) Returns true if the first string contains the second string. substring( string offset length ) Returns a section of the string. The section starts at  offset (which is a number), and is as long as the value provided at  length. substring-before( string1 ,  string2 ) Returns the part of  string1  up unti
