I want to test the REST api on my Rails site. What is the easiest/best way to do this with the rails testing framework? I'm only doing the standard resourceful stuff, so I am wondering in particular, since this is so bog standard, if there is any automagical way to test this stuff. ...
We just now started doing the A/B testing for our Django based project. Can I get some information on best practices or useful insights about this A/B testing. Ideally each new testing page will be differentiated with a single parameter(just like Gmail). mysite.com/?ui=2 should give a different page. So for every view I need to write a...
Our website seems to be slower than it used to be, how can I test that? And is there a way to find the cause? (eg too many visitors). Thanks. ...
We have a system that was originally developed decades ago and has increased in code base over the years. This is a fairly major system, with configuration that our department maintains (the vendor does not allow us access to the source or underlying database). The client software is a proprietry developed application which is basically ...

Let me extend my query in particular to a application : Let us assume a web application is tested in IE6 (Approx 5000 Test Cases) Now i need to check the application compat...
Just curious: When you release software builds to Q/A, do you prefer to always use the "RELEASE" version, or do you sometimes use the DEBUG version? Here's my conundrum: We like to use Asserts to trap for conditions that should never happen. On the one hand, it might be useful for Q/A to test our software with the Assertions enabled, ...
Anyone know of a way to get your hands on a specific version of IE? Specifically, I am doing browser compatibility and originally developed for IE 6.0.3790.3959 (which most of our users have). Some of our employees that have IE 6.0.2900.xpsp_sp3_gdr.080814-1236 are having issues with some of our custom Javascript animation effects. I ...

I can easily fill the field of a FileField or ImageField in a Django fixture with a file name, but that file doesn't exist and when I try to test my application it fails because that file doesn't exist. How do I correctly populate a FileField or Imagefield in a Django fixture so that the file itself is available too? ...
I've recently been building a test framework for a bit of C# I've been working on. I have NUnit set up and a new project within my workspace to test the component. All works well if I load up my unit tests from Nunit (v2.4), but I've got to the point where it would be really useful to run in debug mode and set some break points. I've tr...

I saw Jeff Atwood's post on his blog about Exception Driven Programming and I was curious if there is anything like ELMAH for PHP? G-Man ...
I've been working on writing unit tests for my PHP code. PHPUnit is what I'm using for this. I have some classes that work great until... I throw XDebug into the mix. At that point, PHPUnit doesn't crash or anything, but setExpectedException never triggers. In fact, the code never goes beyond that point. Anyone run across this and ...
If you were testing a count function like the one below, is it considered to be 'right' or 'wrong' to test multiple things for the function in one function vs having a test function for each of the tests? function testGetKeywordCount() { $tester = $this->getDatabaseTester($this->CompleteDataFile); $tester->onSet...
Hi all, I'm setting up an Atom server to act as a REST-ful interface to my backend database. I'd like to put together some tests to ensure: - the output is Atom and AtomPub compliant - the data produced is a correct representation of the state of the database I'm comfortable enough with the concept of setting up the database in a known...
I am hoping that someone can point me toward Linux software similar to the Microsoft tools Application Verifier and Driver Verifier. (They are stress testers for Windows applications and drivers, respectively.) Do such things exist for Linux? ...
In visually testing interfaces where code might live what do you use for your particular language for a standard? "Hello World" is not sufficiently complex enough in most cases. I am particularly interested in Perl but C#, C, C++, and Java are coming up. Per the comment: Lets say you created a new IDE, color scheme, or a web page whe...
I'm looking for a way to automate a Siebel Retail 8.1 GUI (High Interactivity) for functional tests. The only option I found so far is using QTP from HP, which is quite expensive. Do you know any alternatives, or do you have any experiences with QTP? ...
I'm currently looking at a hefty Rails test suite. It's nothing I can get into specifics about, but the run time for the entire suite (unit/functional/some integration) can run upward of 5 minutes. We're completely reliant on fixtures and are we're not mocking and stubbing as much as we should be. Our next few sprints are going to be ...
