Testing and automation

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flex/using/WS37cb61f8f3397d86-5906dd7a120892e4da7-8000.html

I have QTP 11 and Flex add-in 4.5 and I am able to identify Flex objects in IE but not in Firefox. Is there any Flex add-in for QTP that support Firefox?

Unit tests and QA process

Hello,
(disclaimer : if you agree that this topic does not really belong to this forum please vote for a new Development Process forum there:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=53&threadID=504658 ;-)
My current organization has a dedicated QA team.
They ensure end-user functional testing but also run and monitor "technical" tests as well.
In particular they would want to run developer-written junit tests as sanity tests before the functional tests.
I'm wondering whether this is such a good idea, and how to handle failed unit tests:
1) Well , indeed, I think this is a good idea: even if developer all abide by the practice of ensuring 100% of their test pass before promoting their code (which is unfortunately not the case), integration of independant development may cause regression or interactions that make some test fail.
Any reason against QA running junit tests at this stage?
However the next question is, what do they do with failed tests : QA has no clue how important a given unit test is with regard to the whole application.
Maybe a single unit test failed out of 3500 means a complete outage of a 24x7 application. Or maybe 20% of failed tests only means a few misaligned icons...
2) The developer of the failed package may know, but how can he communicate this to QA?
Javadocing their unit testing code ("This test is mandatory before entering user acceptance") seems a bit fragile.
Are there recommended methods?
3) Even the developer of the failed package may not realize the importance of the failure. So what should be the process when unit tests fail in QA?
Block the process until 100% tests pass? Or, start acceptance anyway but notify the developper through the bug tracking system?
4) Does your acceptance process require 100% pass before user acceptance starts?
Indeed I have ruled out requiring 100% pass, but is this a widespread practice?
I rule it out because maybe the failed test indeed points out a bad test, or a temporary unavailability of a dependent or simulated resource.
This has to be analyzed of course, as tests have to be maintained as well, but this can be a parallel process to the user acceptance (accepting that the software may have to be patched at some point during the acceptance).
Thank you for your inputs.

Actually running them seems pointless to me.
QA could be interested in the following
- That unit tests do actually exist
- That the unit tests are actually being run
- That the unit tests pass.
This can all be achieved as part of the build process however. It can either be done for every cm build (like automated nightly) or for just for release builds.
This would require that the following information was logged
- An id unique to each test
- Pass fail
- A collection system.
Obviously doing this is going to require more work and probably code than if QA was not tracking it.
However the next question is, what do they do with
failed tests : QA has no clue how important a given
unit test is with regard to the whole application.
Maybe a single unit test failed out of 3500 means a
complete outage of a 24x7 application. Or maybe 20%
of failed tests only means a few misaligned icons...
To me that question is like asking what happens if one class fails to build for a release build.
To my mind any unit test failure is logged as a severe exception (the entire system is unusable.)
2) The developer of the failed package may know, but
how can he communicate this to QA?
Javadocing their unit testing code ("This test is
mandatory before entering user acceptance") seems a
bit fragile.
Are there recommended methods?Automatic collection obviously. This has to be planned for.
One way is to just log success and failure for each test which is gathered in one or more files. Then a seperate process munges the result file to collect the data.
I know that there is a java build engine (add on to ant or a wrapper to ant) which will do periodic builds and email reports to developers. I think it even allows for categorization so the correct developer gets the correct error.

the bug tracking system?
I would block it.
4) Does your acceptance process require 100% pass
before user acceptance starts?
No. But I am not sure what that has to do with what you were discussing above. I consider unit tests and acceptance testing to be two seperate things.
Indeed I have ruled out requiring 100% pass, but is
this a widespread practice?
I rule it out because maybe the failed test indeed
points out a bad test, or a temporary unavailability
of a dependent or simulated resource.Then something is wrong with your process.
When you create a release build you should include those things that should be in the release. If they are not done, missing, have build errors, then they shouldn't be in the release.
If some dependent piece is missing for the release build then the build process has failed. And so it should not be released to QA.
I have used version control/debug systems which made this relatively easy by allowing control over which bug/enhancements are included in a release. And of course requiring that anything checked in must be done so under a bug/enhancement. They will even control dependencies as well (the files for bug 7 might require that bug 8 is added as well.)

Measurement and Automation Explorer not installed correctly

I have a trial version of LabView 8.5. Upon trying to change the Instrument I/O Assistant, I get "Measurement and Automation Explorer not installed correctly. Please install from driver CD." Well, I don't have the CD since this was a trial download.
Basically, what I am trying to do is this: I want to pull 4 variables/tags from an Allen Bradley PLC and log them to an Excel spreadsheet. I am using RSLinx to communicate with the PLC, and LabView to compile the info.
Any help would be appreciated.

Any Ideas? I have the program running right now, and I'm kinda in a bind. I also tried RSView32 Works to log the info, but there isn't enough flexibility in logging. I need to log flow rate test results from a large automated machine. The mahcine does a number of operations, but we are most concerned with these four tags (since it conducts four tests at once). The problem is, the cycle time varies with the lot of product. Some products require more time as the process is more delicate. So, I can't use a time-interval logging method.
As for variable change, I can't do that either because it records the 4 test results in series; not all at the same time. That, and if the test is aborted (no tube), the previous test result value stays in the tag until there is a successful test.
I found a variable that changes once per cycle. I'd like to log the four tags once per cycle.
BUT I can't do anything until I get the I/O Wizard working.

Measurement and Automation Explorer does not recognize two identical USB 3.0 cameras at once. How do I fix this?

I am running a set up which uses 2 identical USB Point Grey cameras of the same model (FL3-U3-13S2M-CS). Both USB cameras are plugged into the computer (blue USB cables).
When I open up Measurement and Automation Explorer and look under "NI-IMAQdx Devices" in the configuration tree, LavVIEW only recognizes one of the two USB cameras. Measurement and Automation Explorer only lists one camera, in which it recognizes it as "Point Grey Camera". Why this is occurring? How can I get LabVIEW to recognize two separate cameras of the same model?

That's about the old NI-IMAQ for USB cameras. IMAQdx has built in support for DirectShow connected cameras. IMAQdx should be able to use more than one DirectShow camera at the same time, but the Point Grey DirectShow driver may have some issues.

IWeb Applescript and Automator - scripts you shouldn't be without

Applescript and automator will automate mundane manual repetative task that seem to take forever. These scripts fill in iWeb's void that makes it hard to implement advance features such one click ftp publishing, code editing, swithching domain site files, etc. Don't miss out on these scripts that will save you ton of time. These are scripts you shouldn't be without.
Work smarter not harder with iWeb applescript, only from MacEzzy.
-- Also check out the free downloadable iWeb templates.
Powerbook G4 Ti Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Thank you for your feedback.
-- Article never mentions compressed or uncompressed. Traditionally tiff format is used for buttons and small images on web pages and jpeg is used for higher quality photos exemplified by iWeb.
-- Search engine spiders or crawlers start from top of the page to the bottom of html pages. They craw for topic as well as content. This is exactly what appears from iWeb html pages for meta (meta name="Generator" content="iWeb 1.0.1")
-- I am the first to admit I don't know everything but I don't make up information. I use iWeb on a daily bases and try new things to push the envelope. Things that I find helpful to me I make it available for other iWeb community users so that they don't go through tribulation.
-- I put google ads and paypal donate buttons throughout the pages to test if iWeb is up for commercial challenge. I also tested how well the search and replace script worked. I have exemplified in macezzy website it is possible to use iWeb for business purpose. The script worked extremely well, it would have taken hours to insert google and paypal codes manually. Using the script it only took 10 min. I wanted to share that with other users who might wanted to do similar things. Sorry if that offend you, I will remove them.
-- I never claimed to have created the script except the script that makes the first folder in documents folder. I did change the wording so that it is clear to users that they are switching sites(domain file). I did not create the awesome search and replace script either. I do mention that I have made the iWeb_ftpUpload automator.
I have started macezzy site when iWeb was introduced and there wasn't much information about iWeb. I have and do try many things with iWeb and report to iWeb community users of things that I find helpful. I haven't made a dollar off the site and I have invested lot of my time because I like to see other users succeed.

With Lab-PC and NI DAQ 651 I did the test and received the error

When I instal the card Lab-PC in a Pentium II with NI DAQ &.5.1 and didi the test from Mesurement and automation explorer I recived the error "The card dosnt respond to teh first interruption level. I am using the configuration that windows automatically sugested to me and there are not conflits. help pleasure.

Hello;
Since you didn't mention what OS you are using on that machine, I would suggest you to upgrade the NI-DAQ driver to the latest one NI has available for download at www.ni.com/support. That version of the driver supports the majority of the new OSes, and most likely will support the one you have there.
Make sure to uninstall the previous version of the NI-DAQ driver you have installed before to upgrade it. If that doesn't work, try to change the slot the board is hook up to, and ultimately, try the installation on a different machine.
Hope this helps.

Engine test cell automation using labview

I want to know the hardware details of my application(engine test cell automation using labview).
Amit Amrutkar

>> I want to know the hardware details of my application(engine test cell automation using labview).
I have a feeling that that one of the following happened :
A. The "Post" button was clicked by mistake before the compilation was over.
B. The OP wants to know the hardware details for his application which looks like an engine test cell automation. ( It thus must have been in a hardware forum I guess )
Post more details on the number of analog channels , required resolution, sampling time etc and number of digital channels and there is a possiblity that we can start helping..

Parallel port not detected in measurement and automation explorer

I have installed labview 2010 in windows XP.
The problem what I am facing is I could not find "Serial & Parallel port" option in Measurement and automation explorer.
After seeing the similar problem in forum I have installed Ni-Daqmx 9.0.2. But still I can not see the ports in MAX.
I think i have attached enough document .
If the parallel port is not detected in MAX can we send digital data to parallel port.
I have tested parallel port with LED connecting one leg in 1st data line(pin 2) and another in gnd(pin 25).
And my program is to blink the led for every one second but I cannot see the blinking.
Can anyone help in this regards
thank you

Unit Testing and Integrating testing In HR

Dear Sap Gurus,
Would you be kind enough to give me an example of unit testing and integrating testing?? what do you test, eg..TC and what else.. what happened.??. And also an example of Integrating testing ..and an example ....I know what unit and integrating test is ..and with a good example, i will have a great idea about it ...thanks a lot.

Hi Pooja
Unit Testing:
A process for verifying that software, a system, or a system component performs its intended functions.
Unit transactions are tested against their own specifications and design documents.
Integration Testing
An orderly progression of testing in which software elements, hardware elements or both are combined and tested until the entire system has been integrated.
Integration tests deal mainly with the testing of cross-application process chains in addition to transactions and business processes. The process models and the test cases derived from these form the basis of these tests.

My Mac is doing strange things: delaying between users, mouse flickering and bouncing, gets stuck with rainbow wheel flickering. I ran the appel hardware test and it detected an error: 4MOT/4/40000003:HDD-1233 Does anybody know what that means? HELP!

My imac is doing strange things:
-delaying between users: when closing session it goes to blue, then takes a while to appear users signin box, and then wont recognize mouse command to enter until a couple of minutes later... then everything seems alright until....
-it gets stuck between things, the rainbow wheel appears and its just delays there forever....
-and every now and then the mouse starts flickering and bouncing wildly onscreen.
I ran the appel hardware test and it detected an error:
4MOT/4/40000003:HDD-1233
Does anybody know what that means? HELP!

WZZZ answered about where to get iStat. And do check the SMART status. If it is an overheating problem due to a fan or logic board problem, your hard drive is possibly cooking itself to death. If so it isn't a faulty hard drive even though the hard drive might fail. So assuming it's a temperature problem, even if you are able to repair things on the disk with software, that is working on symptoms, not causes. I could be wrong however.
RE: AppleCare: Your iMac came with one year of AppleCare (Apple's warranty program), but within the first year you can buy 2 more years. You have to extend by the one year anniversary of purchase of the computer. Your 10,1 is too old to still be in the first year, and since you asked what it was, I'm sure you don't have it. Bottom line meaning is that whatever this problem turns out to be, you'll have to pay for it. Unless there is something like this. It is for 2011 iMacs with certain Seagate drives. You can put in your serial number for fun, but it looks like yours is too old. Lastly, some people have had Apple help them anyway if it is just out of warranty, but many have not. Your machine is one of these. Type in 10,1 in the search box. Is there an Apple Store near you? Just b/c it's out of warranty doesn't mean you shouldn't have it looked at by Apple. But no one here can say at all what Apple will or will not do.
Hope you get it taken care of!
