comment How do I keep Selenium test cases DRY?
the Thread sleep usage is spotty. The way our web app is built, the enabling/disabling of buttons and how to check them is very difficult. we haven't found a better way yet.

comment Is there load/stress testing software that can be used for Ajax calls?
@user246 I have not used any of the tools I mentioned hands-on, I have just been researching them and most everything I've read stated the asynchronous nature of AJAX was a terrible fit. I will download the tools and look into them more. thank you

comment Competition ideas between test teams
@dzieciou I have not. I was never the one implementing the contest in my office, just observing and watching the fallout and trying to clean up the pieces. I would like to mention that we had a $ reward, so that most definitely helped ruin the contest

comment Competition ideas between test teams
introducing a timed competition will just exacerbate the issue, imo. If you have 1 hour to find as many bugs as possible, you're going to get a lot of not real bugs so people see their numbers go up. I'm sure there are instances where competitions can be a positive thing, I have never experienced that scenario myself.

comment Are Selenium functional tests reliable enough to be worthwhile?
I've had the same problem for months now. I use TestNG to run the tests. Could never get an answer as to why they fail when run in a suite

comment Dependent methods in the same class run out of order only when included in a “testng suite”; running class independently respects the dependency

comment Which simulator I can use to do function testing for BB mobile application?
There is no evidence of even a basic google search being done. RIM provides blackberry simulators (with different skins) in their free development kit.

How have you decided on a career in software testing if you do not know the roles and responsibilities?

comment How do I keep Selenium test cases DRY?
That's a great way to learn to write the tests from scratch. Start with recording and modifying, then after a while you will be familiar with the language and expectations

comment 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
Good advice. I strayed from using that since it would sometimes increase the time a test took to run. I will probably go and add those in

Resource problems may be it. The speed at which the tests are run varies from each execution. For each test we start and then kill a Firefox driver, so I do not think anything inter-test would cause this

Ah, I agree it is definitely similar. My main concern is that the goal is to eventually integrate the tests into our nightly build, and if a test fails, the build will not be made. For that reason, it is critical we have 100% pass rates for tests that should pass

comment Selenium Webdriver cannot locate element for right click event
Has anyone had success with the contextClick action command? I've run into the same problem as @Karol where the context menu doesn't show, but left-clicking and finding the element is not a problem

comment Is there a way to shorten the time Selenium2/Webdriver takes to look for an element when a failure is expected?
Surprisingly, this worked great. I was under the impression from looking at the API doc previously that it could only be used for EXTENDING the time it looked, but I set it to 150 milliseconds and now a test that took 60 seconds takes 7. Thanks a lot!
