Because of this every major issue has resulted in a new check - either automated or manual. As a result the process of deli...

Basically, I would like to manage quality testing with an issue management system focused on quality testing?

Do any (hosted) ...
From your experience, of those industries that develop custom software for internal use such as financial services companies, which ones produce higher quality software measured in defect rates and, more qualitatively, ease of maintenance over the long term?

Is it performance, scalabilty, maintainability, usability or what ? What is it that you always strive to achieve while creating a good software or application and why ? I always prefer maintainability above anything. It's ok if its not otimized or has great user interface - it has to be maintainable. I'm sure each one of us would have s...

I'm reading xUnit Test Patterns by Gerard Meszaros. On one of the pages he refers to some software metrics: While the need to wrap lines to keep them at 65 characters makes this code look even longer than it really is, it is still unnecessarily long. It contains 25 executable statements including initialized declarations...

I have been in the process of learning Javascript to complement ASP.NET. I have a strong background in general programming, and have always been an advocate of disciplined practices and good hygiene to reduce the error count in code. However, the language that Javascript is seems to make this very difficult. Its dynamic and interpreted ...
Is there a method for tracking or measuring the cause of bugs which won't result in unintended consequences from development team members?

Two questions about unit tests. I've been writing unit tests for a while, however they're usually to test classes I already had written. Recently I read an article (mind you an old article) that says you should write unit tests before you begin writing your code. Does anyone actually follow this methodology? It seems like a good idea...
I am looking for a (simple) test(case) management tool like Speed Test (http://speedtest.codeplex.com/) or Testlink (http://www.teamst.org/), which is based on .NET and SQL-Server. The tool should not be complicated and easy to learn. Can anybody recommend me alternatives of the above mentioned tools? ...

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 ...
