I am looking for a tool for regression testing a suite of equipment we are building. The current concept is that you create an input file (text/csv) to the tool specifying inputs to the system under test. The tool then captures the outputs from the system and records the inputs and outputs to an output file. The output is in the same ...
Hey all, We are developing automated regression tests using VMWare and NUnit. We have divided tests into steps and now I would like to see each step be examined for performance regression. Simply timing the tests, as NUnit does, does not seem reliable. I have figured in a acceptance factor of about 15% but our steps can differ sometimes ...
Having repeatable automated tests of web applications lets one detect regression with very little ongoing labour cost (the main cost being writing the test scripts up front). However there seems to be a bewildering array of such tools available. We used eValid in the past but now use Sahi. Ideally we'd like a tool for which IT-literate ...
I was taught that a regression test was a small (only enough to prove you didn't break anything with the introduction of a change or new modules) sample of the overall tests. However, this article by Ron Morrison and Grady Booch makes me think differently: The desired strategy would be to bring each unit in one at a time, perform an ...
I am looking to start automated regression testing on a fairly large Excel add-in that revolves around a GUI composed of a few modal UserForms with standard controls. The main problem is that most of the automated testing tools I have looked into (Rational Robot, AutomatedQA TestComplete, Network Automation Automate etc) don't fully sup...
Hi, I'm looking to implement regression testing of my web apps before I release them. Simply put, I'm looking for something that could do the following: record tests via a web browser using something like selenium load those tests into an app make my required logic/feature changes run test scripts view test status (pass/fail) fix bro...
What good practices and strategies are there for running regression tests in embedded environments or in other situations where the possibility to automate tests is very limited. In my experience a lot of the testing has to be performed manually i.e. a tester needs to push a sequence of buttons and verify that the machine behaves correc...
Hi, i am trying to write a thesis about Software Test Automation. I plan to compare the two Approaches of Recording and Programming of Test Scripts, and to discuss about several Automation Frameworks, for example Abbot, Selenium, Yemmy, FEST, etc ... Also in my Thesis will be a short overview about Softwaretesting Techniques and maybe a...
I am currently doing a lot of regression testing at my job. And like I want to look at some of the best code in the world for regression testing (i.e. Open source). So basically list open source projects that you think show good examples of regression testing. P.S True regression testing is black box by the way. However the examples so...
I can't use unit tests for some parts of code so I'm falling back to regression tests. I would like to check whether my program behaves in the same way after some modifications. And by behaviour I mean mostly a state of data structures. So far I was serializing them into human readable text format and dumped to some files in the first r...
I'm working on a scientific computing code (written in C++), and in addition to performing unit tests for the smaller components, I'd like to do regression testing on some of the numerical output by comparing to a "known-good" answer from previous revisions. There are a few features I'd like: Allow comparing numbers to a specified tole...
This question is for developers who write tests with their code and have accumulated a regression tests suite. How much time do you spend running regression tests on your IDE, i.e. before check-in? ...
Hi, can anybody explain the what are the different testings like DST,Wanem. ...
We have a suite of converters that take complex data and transform it. Mostly the input is EDI and the output XML, or vice-versa, although there are other formats. There are many inter-dependencies in the data. What methods or software are available that can generate complex input data like this? Right now we use two methods: (1) a sui...
We're in the initial stages of a large project, and have decided that some form of automated UI testing is likely going to be useful for us, but have not yet sorted out exactly how this is going to work... The primary goal is to automate a basic install and run-through of the app, so if a developer causes a major breakage (eg: app won't...
We are looking for QA tool that allow us to test functionality in our web applications. At this moment we QA all our work/enhancements/defects by hand, but we have so many webapps that is difficult to QA the entire site for a few changes. We want to have a list of Test Cases that we will run every time we will push a change to developm...
I want to do a linear regression but I want to use Ordinary Least Squares which I think it is a type of Linear regression.. The software I use is SPSS and it only has linear regression, partial least squares and 2-stages least squares. I have no idea which one is Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) ...
Each release it seems that our customers find a few old issues with our software. It makes it look like every release has multiple bugs, when in reality our new code is generally solid. We have tried to implement some additional testing where we have testers do several hours of monthly regression testing on a single app each month in an...
I have been asked to do the following: a) Build a VM for a subversion server b) Figure out an autobuild system and regression test system c) Write documentation or simple instructions to get people started with subversion I am not really sure what these instructions mean - although I have a vague idea. If you know could you provide som...
In order to avoid too much testing, I would like to provide the Quality Assurance (QA) team with hints on which features have to be regression tested after a development iteration. Do you know tools that could do that on a C++ and Subversion (and visual studio) dev environment ? Details about the use case: Features would be defined by...
