„Suggest me what to learn for this field“ – how to change the career to software testing. There is huge amount information on the web. Search google or any other search engine for keywords – software testing, testing or tester. And here you are – hundreds of links, articles, posts, etc. The problem is – where to find the most concentrated material for studying. Articles, magazines and blogs are ok, especially on specific topic. To see the full view of software testing field you need a book or a few of them. Try British Computer Society software testing certifications learning material. The syllabuses and the list of references – standards and books should help to learn more (and a lot) in this field.

How to test web services? the only answer i know at the moment - use SoapUI. An open-source GUI for easily creating and firing off SOAP requests. You need: to feed the WSDL - entering the url, the program creates sample SOAP requests for you; you edit those in a simple XML editor; send it to see the response. (For today, have not got the proper response. The database needs to be changed. Will see the results later)

Made a discovery this morning. Was too lazy to read the book „the testing practitioner“, mentioned in previous post. And felt a desire to listen to something on Software testing topic. Yes! The internet! Of course – the YouTube site. Well, did not do the big research what to look at, took on the first - Google Tech Talks, December 9, 2005, Agile testing by Elisabeth Hendrickson. My impressions – first, it is very interesting to find out one more source of information. Feels like participating at the conference. Will come back for sure and do some more watching and listening the other day. The topic itself, agile testing. Am not familiar with it, and especially after the teaching feel it is something different I am working with. What I caught up, the agile testing is something anti-classical approach to testing, everyone is testing and testers are the developers, there are many iterations with the releases, all of them tested and working fine, there is much about test automati...

over a week have a book on my table, The Testing Practitioner. found at our office library. seems to be more serious than fun. It is a collection of works from 24 authors on various topics. Like test and risk management, reviews, incident management, people, test process improvements and other. have you read it?

Nightmare of a tester - you have got a software without bugs. test and can not find any :) Before every new project feel light fear not to find anything...

Had a look at some conferences advertised on the web. ( US testers are lucky – so many software testing events.) If you are wondering what is hot now – just check the conference programs (or job ads. well, its not the topic of the post..). Test Management, Test Techniques, Metrics, Performance Testing, Reviews & Inspections are more classical topics. And here – some showing the changes in the field: Testing Web Sites/Applications , Test Automation, Automating Test Execution, Exploratory Testing, and Agile Testing... Seems the first South East European Software Testing Conference SEETEST 2008 will not answer those questions. Although there is a remarkable need to gather testing professionals and interested in Software Software quality to one place. The conference is more concentrated on practical everyday topics in the testers job. Test Design: Specifying Test Cases, Software Testing Essentials, Methodology for structured software testing and an example test strategy ...

If you check the date of recent posts , you will see that this is the third post today. My colleague smiles - it is friday, too difficult to work when you know three days of rest are waiting ahead. Today is a reading day, so the next thing I found in one blog - testing metrics. The authour lists a few of them. the most interesting for me - " Number of customer reported Bug - As a measure of testing effectiveness". Ok. The effectiveness of testing.... Let's see - my first project here, small and my independent work as a tester. pilot project :) Total issues registered for the project - 164; Total bugs - 119; Client reported issues - 27; Client bugs - 21; Some of them seem quite 'strange' for me and I simply can not call them "bug", so will leave - 10 bugs with low priority. So, what we have for my testing effectiveness? 10 of 119? Less than 9 percent. What is the 'normal' and accepted rate? Can not find anything on that topic in the web for a mome...

wow, this is a new concept for me and to tell the truth, the topic i find very interesting. exploratory testing (ET) - simultaneous learning, test design and test execution. The tester thinks, learns, improves his test design, learns, thinks, etc. Previously called ad-hoc testing. Have been working on this for a few years :) Search wikipedia for more, or find some James Bach or Jonathan Kohl articles on the topic.

Thinking about sotfware testing process and improvements, so search the web for some info. The best thing is - developing a testing maturity model. Found out, that at the moment, our company works at level 3, Initial, Phase definition and integration. Still left space for growth - 4 (management and measurement) and 5 (optimization, defect prevention and quality control). While, CMM level 2 supports only up to 3 level of TMM, the wish to go further with the TMM may have obstacles. Anyway, it was interesting to read some articles. CMM and TMM are also parallel to five phase model of an i ndividual tester's maturity growt h. not much info on that. Tester's growth and carer .

Testware is a sub-set of software with a special purpose, that is, for software testing, especially for software testing automation. In this sense, automation Testware is designed to be executed on automation frameworks. It includes artifacts produced during the test process required to plan, design, and execute tests, such as documentation, scripts, inputs, expected results, set-up and clear-up procedures, files, databases, environment, and any additional software or utilities used in testing. Testware is produced by both verification and validation testing methods. Like software, Testware includes codes and binaries as well as test cases, test plan, test report and etc. Testware should be placed under the control of a configuration management system, saved and faithfully maintained. Compared to general software, testware is special because it has: a different purpose; different metrics for quality and different users The different methods should be adopted when you develop testware ...

Some news. ISEB are now able to offer the following qualifications: Intermediate Certificate in Software Testing This qualification bridges the gap between foundation level and practitioner level, and addresses the need for the candidate to adopt a different approach in thinking than that required at foundation level. Practitioner Certificate in Test Management Enables testing practitioners to gain professional recognition for advanced level skills in the managerial aspects of testing. Practitioner Certificate in Test Analysis This qualification enables testing practitioners to gain professional recognition for advanced level skills in the more technical, analytical aspects of testing. These were created because of the gap between previous Foundation and Practitioner Certificates. Also testers tend to specialise in either the management...

Verification: Have we built the software right? (i.e. does it match the specification) Validation: Have we built the right software? (i.e. Is this what the customer wants?)
