World Tester's Day - 9th September



Surely every day is Tester's Day, but it feels good to have a special day that can make us testers around the world share and collaborate and feel proud to be one. Now this is the second year in a row that I have been celebrating this day. If you haven't heard about tester's day then read this ! It is 68 years since the first bug was found , beat that for a metric in software testing :) I feel proud to be a testing professional and have had my own reasons to do so. Shall not ponder over that here, not on the "Tester's day".

I have been celebrating this day in a better manner now with a good bunch of like-minded testers and colleagues in the testing community. I thought why not write about what would be the best way to celebrate a day like this
Here are my few cents:
  • We started off with a simple idea of creating a badge that read “Proud to be a Tester” and some that read “Official _______ Tester” where the blank was filled with the specialized skill the tester had. For instance automation/performance/Game/mobile/database and so on…
  • If the audience isn't large you can get t-shirts printed instead of wearing those badges.
  • Apart from that we have some good fun-facts about testing that were pasted all over the premises including breakouts and washrooms.
  • We also had quizzes and puzzles related to different fields in testing that ran throughout the day.

Would love to hear from other testers around the globe , how they celebrate this day?!

Happy Tester's Day ! Keep finding those bugs...

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?

Image
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
