Published November 10th, 2011 Under Unit Testing | Leave a Comment

Running tests on an Android emulator or device is slow! Building, deploying, and launching the app often takes a minute or more. Robolectric is a unit test framework that de-fangs the Android SDK jar so you can test-drive the development of your Android app inside the JVM on your workstation in seconds.

This video presents several things you can learn by taking a longitudinal view of your system – by issuing queries of your code base and relating the results back to events on a team. The more we know about how we behave as teams in our code, the more likely we are to be able to control our development well enough to hold bad code at bay.

Functional Testing with Jubula

Published October 11th, 2011 Under Functional Testing | Leave a Comment

This video presents functional testing automation for Eclipse applications using Jubula. Jubula provides automated functional GUI testing for Java and HTML applications. The project is aimed at functional testers who want to automate their black-box tests for SWT/RCP, GEF and Swing applications. The keyword-driven approach lets testers design, automate and maintain tests by dragging and dropping from a library of test actions. Test creation is quick and code-free, tests are easy to read, and the modular structure makes them easy to maintain, despite changes in an application’s GUI.

Quality without Testing!

Published October 3rd, 2011 Under Software Testing | Leave a Comment

What would a quality program look like if there were no testing? In fact, what if there were no testing, no inspections and no reviews; no form of feedback at all? Quality Management plans often focus too heavily on inefficient feedback mechanisms to assure excellence. This video discusses quality issues facing the software development community and how they can be solved through solid management practices. Many managers look to inspection techniques (testing, code inspection and formal requirements reviews among others) to improve the quality of the software they produce. These techniques are important but only serve to report the state of quality. However, quality, it is not about catching it, it’s about creating it.
