Specified VM install not found


If you have recently upgraded the JRE on your machine and you start facing problems with eclipse. 
Also If you see this message when you try to run eclipse Specified VM install not found: type Standard VM

 What will not work? Deleting and recreating the workspace

 What will work:

 First let the project know which JDK container to use:
  • Navigate to Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Installed JREs
  • Select the jdk on your machine
  • Navigate to Window->Preferences->Java->Installed JREs->Execution Environments
  • List of common jvm environments such as JavaSE-1.6 and JavaSE-1-7 names. Click rows and choose jre instance on the right side panel.
  • This is where you may accidentally have nothing chosen if JREs were uninstalled or names changed in InstalledJREs setting. You may get Specified vm install not found error dialog.

  • Go Back to the Project
  • Navigate to the JavaBuildPath 
  • Add Library -> JRE System Library-> Next and Finish
If you are using Ant then
  • build.xml file->Run As->Ant Build->popup menu entry. 
  • Click on JRE tab and choose execution environment. This may have obsolete value from the previous jdk values.
Now navigate to Project Properties->Java Build Path/Libraries
Add Library.../JRE System Library/(x)Execution environment
Choose execution environment to be used for this project.

Happy Testing!

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
