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.

Automated Test Management: Running, Saving Results, Querying, etc At my company we have also created custom solutions for much of this. I would love to see a response from someone with some tools that have "everything" you would need, but I don't know of any. It seems like a pretty big gap in the industry if you ask me. |

how to test mobile application which uses wifi connection? Do you really want to randomize the signal, or do you want to completely control it, with the ability to vary the signal strength? Randomizing the signal does not seem like the best approach for testing purposes, while varying the signal could be useful. |

Automate functional testing for WCF services I haven't used the form based input from SoapUI pro (I have only used the free version) but it seems like for manual testing purposes you can use tools such as Fiddler, or browser plug-ins such as Postman. |

Load Testing Ajax application That's true, especially if there is authentication, what will be recorded and played back by default is a session cookie, which will change with each log in, so you would need to execute the login request, extract the session cookie info and replace the session cookie in all future requests with that one, but that's a whole different question :-) |

Selenium IDE newbie - click on button not working .net When you said "doesn't work" do you mean nothing happens, or an exception occurs? It could be an issue of an incorrect css identifier, but we don't have the button html to see if that is the case. Can you include the page's html, or the relevant part of it? We could then create css, xpath or alternative identifiers for you that would work. |

SQL “sandbox” for new QA staff training: DB structure, approach, deployment and maintenance? As for SQL vs Oracle, the concepts are going to be pretty much identical, however there are a number of differences in the syntax and built in functions: dba-oracle.com/oracle_news/… |
