Transforming LoadRunner Data into Information and Action |
| |
| Today’s online web applications need to deliver high efficiency while supporting thousands of users simultaneously. Rather than going live and hoping for the best, HP’s LoadRunner can simulate hundreds or thousands of concurrent usersAfter execution of script, LoadRunner generate graphs and reports to analyze and assess the performance of the application under various load scenarios. hen go beyond the standard reports or detailed analysis, accessing LoadRunner data is cumbersome. rending analysis or results verification requires extraction of raw data from LoadRunner’s results files. But it’s worth it as this allows for greater in-depth analysis which can lead to easier identification of performance bottlenecks and benchmarking for improvements over time.

New Strategies for Testing Agile Developed Software |
| |
| In the old days with Waterfall development, we figured out what to build; designed, wrote code; tested; and deployed. Testing was usually done late and often separate from development activities. This was often unavoidable because the application was not ready to test. But this led to a lot of problems down the road such as...With agile development, we see progress early, and we can deliver at least something by the original deadline, but to we need adapt the traditional testing model to agile development and compress the testing cycles while continually increasing the quality of the software under test. To do that, there are 3 key activities including...

Defining Quality of Web-based Applications in Today's SaaS World |
| |
| This paper presents a new framework for measuring the quality of web-based software applications. In the past, companies used to do a software product release by shipping a new CD with an accompanying manual. Today, with Web 2.0 technologies and Software as a Service (SaaS) business models, software delivery is entirely different; it is simply released online. Therefore, new research relating to software quality must let go of some traditional measurement methods and take on newer methods based on providing a service rather than a product. This paper discusses which older measurements now have less validity and provides a framework for newer measurements that can be used to determine and quantify the quality of web-based software applications.

10 Important Lessons Learned in Software Test Automation |
| |
| Test automation is a critical regression activity in software development projects with short development cycles. As features build up from iteration to iteration and release cycles grow ever shorter, the time required to regression test can expand geometrically. In these circumstances, automation is often viewed as the magic bullet for survival. However, for a variety of reasons, automation projects often fail. Through XBOSoft's years of experience working on countless automation projects, we've come up with a list of 10 key "lessons learned" that we believe if followed, can significantly improve your chances of automation success. |

To Be (Automated) or Not To Be (Manual): A Dilemma for Small Development Shops? |
| |
| Automated software testing has long been an integral part of big software development organizations but is often thought to be too expensive or difficult for smaller companies. In many cases, automation has a proven track record in reducing the costs of testing, increasing test coverage and effectiveness, and shortening testing cycles. There are also various intangible benefits associated with automation such as reaching the market faster and improving tester moral (and productivity) through the elimination of tedious tasks. |

Improving QA and Development Cooperation for Higher Software Quality |
| |
| QA teams are often pushed to the final hour, testing features with altered specifications that no one fully understands. How does QA support creativity and satisfy clients (developers, product managers, end users) but also manage product quality? Here are some practical thoughts: |
