This seems to be a point of contention where I work. Some complain about the lack of verification structure in Scrum projects, while Scrum purists say it's not what Scrum is about. Both sides bring up great points, but I would like to see what people outside my circle say about the subject. What are your thoughts? Why? ...

If you're familiar with the phrase "build one to throw away", well, we seem to have done that; we’re reaching the limits of version 1 of our online app. It's time to clean things up by: Re-organizing code and UI Unifying UI processes Adding more functionality Building for the future Modifying our database structure to handle all of the...

Currently I am: Actually disconnecting the network wire from the back of my computer using ipconfig /release Using the cports program to close out the socket completely None of these methods though are ideal ...
Hi all, We're looking to add a few good testers (err "qa engineers") to our team. It's been my experience in the past that the "10-1" rule for developers (good devs are 10 times more productive than mediocre devs) is even more prevalent for testers. Most testers I've worked with found a decent amount of issues, but there's a few stand...

I've created a learning application using Bort, which is a base app that includes Restful Authentication and RSpec. I've got it up and running and added a new object that requires users to be logged in before they can do anything(before_filter :login_required in the controller). [edit: I should also mention that the user has_many of th...

I worked on an embedded system this summer written in straight C. It was an existing project that the company I work for had taken over. I have become quite accustomed to writing unit tests in Java using JUnit but was at a loss as to the best way to write unit tests for existing code (which needed refactoring) as well as new code added...
Is there a Perl module that allows me to view diffs between actual and reference output of programs (or functions)? The test fails if there are differences. Also, in case there are differences but the output is OK (because the functionality has changed) I want to be able to commit the actual output as future reference output. ...
After reading this answer, I wonder if there's a way to get a "testing" credit card number. One that you can experiment with but that doesn't actually charge anything. ...
If you were running a news site that created a list of 10 top news stories, and you wanted to make tweaks to your algorithm and see if people liked the new top story mix better, how would you approach this? Simple Click logging in the DB associated with the post entry? A/B testing where you would show one version of the algorithm tog...

We develop custom survey web sites and I am looking for a way to automate the pattern testing of these sites. Surveys often contain many complex rules and branches which are triggered on how items are responded too. All surveys are rigorously tested before being released to clients. This testing results in a lot of manual work. I wou...

We all know the various ways of testing OO systems. However, it looks like I'll be going to do a project where I'll be dealing with PLC ladder logic (don't ask :/), and I was wondering if there's a good way of testing the validity of the system. The only way I see so far is simply constructing a huge table with all known states of the s...
