I write non-fiction about leadership, software development, testing, and resistance to change.
I also write fiction (primarily the beginnings and middles of yet-to-be-finished novels) in a variety of speculative genres.
I also write about writing.

Are Selenium functional tests reliable enough to be worthwhile? I'm glad I could help. By the way, I thought you were great in the Batman movies. |

Send keys to no element in particular You can send the keys to the body of the html page. Or do you mean you want to send keys to the browser itself, and not to something rendered on the page? |

In agile (Scrum) practices, where do I start with making Q&A (testing) more efficient if the team is transitioning from waterfall to agile? It's hard to know what formats will work for you until you try some stuff and gain experience. For now, take an experimental attitude. I wouldn't worry about nailing down a format yet (if ever). That may become more important as you select tools for automating your examples. But for now, focus on making the examples really clear, without delving into incidental details. That's hard enough. The format will follow. |

How to 'Mock' SVN @BJ: It's true that SVN doesn't cost money. It does cost time, which can be precious in an automated test suite. Any code that directly uses the file system or the network can significantly increase the execution time of the test. If enough tests use such slow resources, your suite begins to crawl, and the feedback delays become troublesome. It's common to mock that kind of code, especially in unit tests, but also in acceptance tests from which you want very fast feedback. |

what should I do if my stability tests cycle is longer than the release cycle ? Can you say more about why the test cycle can't be shortened, and why you can't run two releases concurrently? |
