I have been at Webtrends for over a year where I am overseeing the automation efforts. Prior to Webtrends I was at Microsoft for 13 years. Early challenges have included updating a full-featured, yet complex and poorly maintained in-house automation framework, building a common automation logging and reporting platform, creating a tool for simple Deployment Validations, creating automated Performance tests for multiple products, building an object oriented wrapper/abstraction layer for web UI automation on top of selenium and a couple of minor quick-fix tools to increase the speed of manual testing. I have also been involved in a hiring effort to bring our team of one (me) up to a team of 5.
During my time at Microsoft my responsibilities evolved from test planning and manual testing on various projects to --> writing automation and overseeing manual testing efforts from vendors to --> Developing automation tools and processes for the Windows Live organization including a web UI automation framework and a test result reporting platform as well as other smaller tools.

Difference between requirement, use case, and scenario? Yep, and it may be useful to come up with a common, agreed upon, published definition somewhere so that when you're talking amongst teammates you know that you're all on the same page. |

Has anyone used Parasoft's SOATest Tool? Hi user5287. Can you expand this question? Do you really just want to know if anyone has used it, or are you looking for a tool that fulfills certain requirements and want to know if this fits the bill? Or are you interested in comparisons between this tool and other similar tools? |

Can we write wrapper class for TestNG and Junit framework What is the goal of this wrapper? What sort of scenario are you trying to enable with it vs directly calling TestNG? Worst case you could spawn a process to execute TestNG from command line. |

API Automated Testing Tool XML & JSON It looks like for java this json schema validator tool github.com/fge/json-schema-validator uses the same schema defined at json-schema.org |

API Automated Testing Tool XML & JSON Yes, json.net for example uses the json schema defined at json-schema.org. You can create json schema files and use the JsonValidatingDeserializer for all of the responses. Examples here: james.newtonking.com/archive/2009/01/04/… |

Problems with maintenance of Selenium on grid service Not really an answer to your question, but I've seen a lot of people having success with saucelabs.com rather than maintaining their own grid and the fees seem reasonable especially considering you now don't need to worry about hardware or maintenance for the grid. |

How to get the Event Object of the Click event on Selenium IDE? Is this the only area on the page, or are there multiple? Could it be finding the incorrect element? Also, does the click fail, or does it complete and appear to succeed from Selenium's point of view but doesn't do anything in your app? |
