At the Star conference, this week, the lady at the ASTQB booth was executive director Lois Kostroski. The ASTQB is the American chapter of the ISTQB. Here’s the gist of the conversation we had about certification… James: “Do you need any experience to get certified?” Lois: “No, you just have to pass the exam.” James: “What are the benefits of certification?” Lois: “JB.” James: “JB?” Lois: “Just Because. There are almost 90,000 certified testers. It’s ...

Windows only: Freeware application DeskTask embeds your Microsoft Outlook calendars and tasks directly on your desktop—whether Outlook is running or not. We actually covered DeskTask a couple of years back, but in light of the recent popularity of embedded calendar and to-do applications like previously mentioned Rainlendar and Samurize, DeskTask seems like a perfect alternative for Outlook die-hards. Granted, you can accomplish more with something like Samurize (just take a look at the Lightning at ...

I usually don’t write about PixSense’s products and customers. Recently, however, I was questioned at great length about our experiences by many of our potential customers after they read our announcement of exceeding one million unique visits in less than a month after launch. Considering it to be a well worth milestone achieved, I decided to share it on a public forum and get comments from others on their experiences and thoughts on UGC portals.Most ...

Friends Everywhere Now that our new and improved sharing features are available in the US, we have made sharing with friends available to Reader users in all supported languages. We are dedicating this to our teammate Steve Goldberg, who claims he can speak almost every language in which Reader ...

Google Reader gets tags for notes (like this one), alphabetical subscription and folder sorting, a new Options menu at the bottom of the subscription list that's just dying for more features, and some international sharing goodies. A marginal update, but a nice one nonetheless.

The Google Maps API is one of our most popular developer products here at Google, and is also one of the trickiest to test because of its visual nature and diverse uses. It has to go through the standard backend and JsUnit testing, but then also through a suite of Selenium tests to make sure that DOM elements are positioned correctly, mouse events are triggered correctly, and even tests to address random bugs like Issue ...

Now, with Right-side Labels enabled, I can see both my Labels and my Chat buddies at ...

When we first heard about EFiX—a simple USB dongle that'll let you magically install Leopard on your PC—it sounded too fantastic to be true. Well, I used it to turn my gaming PC into a Mac Pro over the weekend, and I'm somewhat amazed to say this, but it works perfectly.

Linux only: Easystroke, a free mouse gesture manager for Linux systems, makes the often quirky business of summoning applications, web sites, and desktop actions with your pointer a simple affair. After installing Easystroke and adding it to your startup programs, it sits in your icon tray to register movements and add new ones. By default, it only records mouse gestures made when the middle mouse button is held down, and it's surprisingly intuitive at knowing ...

Over on the uTest Community Forums (the forums for our uTester community), a discussion has started listing some of the basic principles of software testing. There have been quite a few good ones, and I wanted to highlight some of them in a series of posts. Principle #1: Exhaustive Testing is Impossible Put simply, you can’t test it all. There’s just no way of validating that your software will run the way you expect on ...

My latest column... During a coffee break at a class the other week, I overheard the following comment from one student to another: Tester: "This stinks! All of my automated test scripts are broken and I can't seem to get the tool to work now that the developers have enabled Secure Sockets Layer. I'm going to have to work through the weekend." I know that it's generally considered rude to eavesdrop, and ruder still to ...Shared by mubbashir (18) Zuhaib (4)Contribute commentCorey Goldberg (0) permalink
