What is the best way to measure QA in scrum? We have members who typically test and they are measured against how many bugs they find. If they don't find any bugs then they are considered to be doing a bad job. However, it is my understanding that the developers and quality people are considered one in the same. I would think that th...

I have heard developers say that people who write code should not be the ones testing it. I am looking for peoples experience in this situation. Many times I have done my share of development, then released to the QA dept and had the code sent back to me becuase some aspect of the application was broken due to my coding, regardless of ho...
Hey everyone, we are building an app for one of our clients, the app is fairly straight forward but it is database driven and is user facing (lives on the web). Clients require 24/7 support. How do you go about doing that? Does anyone have experience in building an app and supporting in 24/7? Previously my team of programers would simply...
In my last job I was working with a company that was going from NO methodology to utilizing a Scrum/Agile method. Many problems were encountered, including the fact that the Scrum "expert" really didn't know how to implement Scrum effectively. The plan they used was relatively simple: 1. Start Sprint Planning meetings where the estima...
So my company is building an extensive piece of medical software, where there's a lot of moving parts and things selected on one screen may need to be displayed on as many as 5 others. The issue here is that when the Development Teams work with the Product Designer, they get a clear understanding of how to code the software properly, bu...

Here is what I am looking for. I would love to have a tool that can be used to populate a database, allow us to do some interactive testing, and then reset the database to where it was before we started using it. Kind of like a DB fixture for unit testing, but for a user to use instead of an automated test suite. Does something like t...

Are there any good resources for learning to do black box QA testing? I applied for what looked like a technical testing position, but discovered in the interview that it was black box QA (I really don't know a great deal more than that at the moment). I'm still going to go for it, for the experience and since I need the cash. Any tips ...
I'd like to know if there's programmatic, automatic, BDD-aware way to test how CSS is rendered in different browsers, just like Selenium can automatically test HTML and Javascript in different browsers. Integrating it with a BDD framework would be ideal. ...
Basically, I'm looking for a PHP framework which can help me to build a site similar to Stackoverflow. Is there any? A website which can: Let people post and answer questions Let them vote Let them choose the best answer ...
I'm working on a site and am getting feedback from a lot of well-meaning users along the lines of: "It's not working for me". I'd like to be able to get detailed feedback from them on what they were doing, where, with what browser, etc. These aren't QA folks, and are really just doing me a favor by trying things out. I want to get as ...
This isn't a coding question, but a career question that I am stumped on. Any advice is greatly appreciated. I graduated college this past spring and since then have worked in the QA department for a large e-commerce website for the past three months. My duties including running automation and manual tests, writing test scripts, writin...
Sincerest apologies if I'm asking this question in the wrong place. (possibly one of the mini-stack overflows specific to career advice and QA) I've spent a significant amount of time recently learning about and implementing unit testing frameworks for our projects. Prior to the introduction of a unit testing framework, our method was ...

Let me start by describing what our current 'process' is and then ask you how we should improve on it and what, if any, tools you would suggest. What we are doing currently Every time someone makes a commit to our svn (or pushes git changes into 'trunk') it ends up in an email in one persons inbox. That person is responsible for glanci...
I'm curious about how people test their apps In general. I recently uploaded an app and wanted to reach as many iOS' as possible so i targeted it to 3.0. I did test on iphone 3, iphone 4 and 3GS but found out that there was an obscure sizing of a button image on a specific ios version. In general how do you guys test for different ver...
