Automation Checklist
If you answer yes to any of these questions, then your test should be seriously considered for automation.
Can the test sequence of actions be defined?
Is it useful to repeat the sequence of actions many times? Examples of this would be Acceptance tests, Compatibility tests, Performance tests, and regression tests.
Is it possible to automate the sequence of actions?
This may determine that automation is not suitable for this sequence of actions.
Is it possible to "semi-automate" a test?
Automating portions of a test can speed up test execution time.
Is the behavior of the software under test the same with automation as without?
This is an important concern for performance testing.
Are you testing non-UI aspects of the program?
Almost all non-UI functions can and should be automated tests.
Do you need to run the same tests on multiple hardware configurations?
Run ad hoc tests (Note: Ideally every bug should have an associated test case. Ad hoc tests are best done manually. You should try to imagine yourself in real world situations and use your software as your customer would. As bugs are found during ad hoc testing, new test cases should be created so that they can be reproduced easily and so that regression tests can be performed when you get to the Zero Bug Build phase.) An ad hoc test is a test that is performed manually where the tester attempts to simulate real world use of the software product. It is when running ad hoc testing that the most bugs will be found. It should be stressed that automation cannot ever be a substitute for manual testing.
Domain Name Registration - Simple Tips
When starting a new online business, or expanding an existing one, few things will have as much effect on your ultimate success or failure than a solid plan for domain name registration.
Having a domain name that is easy for your customers and potential customers to remember, that makes sense for the product or service you sell, and that ranks high in search engine queries is an important first step on the road to success for any internet entrepreneur.
One of the most important considerations is the extension. As you probably already know, web sites can be either a .com, a .net or a .org. While .org extensions are generally reserved for use by legitimate non-profit and social service agencies, it can make a lot of sense for a business owner to register both the .net and the .com iteration of his or her desired domain name.
It can also make sense to register several different related domain names in order to take advantage of specific keyword searches. For instance, an online auctioneer who also offers storefront services may want to register a name such as onlineauction.com for the auction part of the business and mystorefront.com for the storefront portion.
The cost of a domain name purchased from a reputable company should be no more than $1 to $10. The cost will vary depending on the extension(s) chosen and the amount of time of the registration.
Choose your keywords carefully, based on what you feel will be the most commonly searched for word or phrase for your business niche. It is important to use that keyword or keyword phrase in the domain name, since most major search engines seem to favor keyword rich domain names.
It is important to make your domain name registration as topically relevant as possible. Search engine technology is always evolving and changing, and sites which feature good relevance will rank higher than general purpose catch all web sites.
Consider purchasing several different variants of your business. This serves a number of purposes. First, it helps potential customers find you, even if they misspell your domain name.
For instance, registering both jewelry.com and jewlry.com can help the spelling challenged find your site. Secondly, registering several different versions, and several different spellings of that name, can help protect your good name by keeping those with ill intentions (or competitors) from registering that name. In addition to purchasing the .net and .biz version of your domain name registration, consider purchasing hyphenated versions or alternate spellings as well.
Consider the importance of domain name registration to product branding and identity. Web sites like Yahoo, Google and eBay all took advantage of the power of the internet to build a strong brand identity, and they are reaping the rewards of that foresight. The internet can be a powerful branding tool, and a strong domain name registration is the first step toward making your business a household name.
Hi friends,
This is post emphasizing on ‘Working from home’!
You might have heard that Heavy rainfall here in the town made people to stay in their house! I can’t reach to my office due to heavy traffic jams! These are now day’s common reasons for people not coming to office on time and prefer to work from home.
Do the big companies are really allowing to work from home. Yes, and I am also a big fan of working from home, At least for the flexi office timings. Companies are nowadays creating a flexible work environment. You can see more people passionate about this type of work culture. The company in which I am working is allowing at least flexi timings.
But working from home culture is not that much popular in my company.
Recent some surveys say that most of the people spend less than three hours working at home. So what these great people do at home? They mostly spend time on their children’s or watching the television. Some checking and forwarding emails and chatting on the net.
So basic question is should company allow ‘Work from home’ policies?
Hey friends I want your opinion on this ! Please feel free to suggest the best work culture or what you are following in your company.
