I have been a tester, or led test groups, for over 15 years. Working in Windows, *nix and distributed environments I've come in as the first part of QA and built groups or joined existing groups. I like process and am an evangelist for process improvement. I also dabble in tool smithing, while I am not a great coder I stick with it and have built up a nice array of tools over the years in Perl, Ruby and PowerShell. I've also used a lot of tools and have been busy as well over in the SQAForums.com site for a number of years.

How to handle self-signed SSL certificate error in IE8? (Selenium Webdriver + Java) At this point is XP the only OS you have issues with? Most of my testing is done on Windows 2008 or later and we don't get this problem with that configuration, maybe its an XP problem |

Selenium Webdriver cannot locate element for right click event I have a similar setup, although for me it's ContextCick, but this works great for my right menu options. I also use a popupHandle to deal with the new window, not sure if you need that |

Running Testing with Non-Technical Team, Little Testing Experience Myself - Where to Start? @Excrubulent I think the problem is you ARE running a testing team, professional or not, and the information you are about in structuring what you are doing is going to be the same. Any recommendations will be book recommendations, that will either be general or about specific testing processes. For what you want, there is little more you can do other than bring in a consultant to start a group for you. |

Test team names IS - Information Systems, as I work with many groups that are not Software Engineering related (basically healthcare groups) I have learned not to use Engineering as it does not mean the same thing to outside people, although they do understand IS |

How to use statistics to improve our site? External firms can help you design surveys that can target information on only what you want to know, checking around your region might help. SurveyMonkey is a popular method to gain information, being internet based, can also provide more accessibility and anonymity to Users who want to respond to the survey. |

IE always opens with random local host and msg:"This is the initial start page for the WebDriver server I believe this is normal, is this somehow impeding your testing? |

How to capture the errors handling in Selenium WebDriver Do you use Assertons at all? I do this alot in my test cases especially for debugging when writing them and often leave them in place for use later in case I get unexplained errors later on then I just uncomment, build and run the test to see what has changed |

Selenium RC is out dated or still in the market after selenium 2.5 release? Do you have a rationale on why you find it outdated? I haven't used it, since its not a fit for my environment and WebDriver is, but I've never discounted it for any reason. Most tools still have a use to someone, it depends on whether you think there is a market for training on it or not |

Automated tests pass every time when run individually, but when they are clumped into a test suite it's a toss up if the tests will pass I feel your pain, eventually I want to run this framework with my builds as well and have scripts set that can run various permutations but I don't want build failures because of a sporadic test failure |

Is there a PC or MAC laptop built for QA work? Typically I build my own since often what I am testing has differed from company to company and project to project |
