I believe in and strive for quality - may it be products, code, comments, documentation or anything else that I do. Effort and attitude counts more than the final result.

Check out this load testing tool (developed by devs at the company I work for):

comment What is the difference between agile testing and Kanban testing?
If that's all you want to ask, internet will provide you a few answers. If you want to know anything specific, please add details to your question.

comment How do I handle the login modal dialog created by onLoad in a WebDriver & Java based test automation
@Michael - Setting a timeout doesn't really work as this feature is faulty in WebDriver (selenium issue id # 687). @user246 - I will attempt your approach and comment back how it works out.

comment How do I educate that it's not test automation framework?
-1 as this does not really answer the question. This answer contains random aspects regarding Test Automation Framework

comment is it appropriate to do exception handling for every single test method?
Depends on what you want your block to do. If you want that the test should stop here, and exception be thrown, then what you mention is correct. In few cases, you might just want to skip that step and log an error, then the if block would work better.

comment What are the trade-offs of using page objects instead of a collection of functions in UI automation?
@user246 - Agreed. And yes, objects itself become more useful when there is inheritance and encapsulation i.e. actual OO implementation.

comment What techniques are available to determine which browsers to test?
This is a good reference, but it is the list of browsers that Yahoo's YUI supports based on its market, and does not necessarily give the idea of the real market. Plus the page update is quite delayed ;-)

comment What are the trade-offs of using page objects instead of a collection of functions in UI automation?
@user246 - True for the example Tarun has used, but not true generally. PageObjects ensure defining an object once, and reusing it everywhere else. If you define multiple methods around an object, the part of your code that identifies the object will be scattered around your entire code, which will create a maintenance nightmare.

comment When writing manual test cases and scripts, how much detail is too much detail when documenting the steps?
"as simple as possible, but no simpler." - says it all :-)

comment Which locator do you use with Selenium CSS or XPath?
xpath and css have almost same probability of breaking if the UI changes. Both depend on the current structure of UI. If UI elements are well identified i.e. can be uniquely identified with one or a combination of attributes, both xpath and css can be created in a very reliable way. If either of them is not created from the root, both can survive a few UI changes.

comment Should QA be able to code tests?
@glowcoder - Not sure what kind of industry you work in, but it surely seems to be not so great environment. The question of whether QA should be able to program is not related to the development work, it is about automated testing.
