Software Troubleshooting

◙ If software sucks, its sucks...that’s it! ◙

=> Stop writing bugs, Start writing superior code.
=> Dead test plans.
=> Developer who wrote the code for particular feature is actually a good tester. They are accountable for testing their own code.
=> Integration testing is where the testers scores points because normal testing can be done by development team. (Testing their individual functionality)
=> User's vision is what testing is. So study the domain & be that particular user.
=> Development team needs to focus on their own functionalities.
=> While bug posting, dev team need to give/provide reports on how/why the bug occurred/solved.
=> End-User never care about the tree, they care about the forest.

Https & Http

We had a simple concern related to Https & Http. This post can be valuable information to both Testing Team & Admin Team.

We modified our site’s URL from Https to Http as per the Client request. I carried it out and checked by refreshing the Home page (in all the browsers, as we were testing the application.) and verified that everything was all right.

When Client typed our site’s URL (Example: abc.com), he got the auto suggested link (Example) for https://www.abc.com/ [‘https’ link came to the top as; until that time, we were using https for our site.]

The first issue was > after this Http alteration, this was not intimated to Client > as to clear his browser’s memory cache. (Cntrl+F5) > Anyway, it was his request to do immediately.

Second issue was > If anyone types Http/Https, the "Http" redirection should have happened.


These kind of silly issues happen but will make a big party boom-off.
Please take care of your application.

Benchmarking

“Benchmarking” is the practice of evaluating your system’s performance against a baseline that you have created internally (or) against an industry standard certification by some other group/organization.

In the case of a Web application, you would run a set of tests that follow with the specifications of an industry benchmark in order to capture the performance metrics necessary to determine your application’s benchmark score.

You can then compare your application against other systems (or) applications that also calculated their score for the same benchmark. You may choose to tune your application performance to attain (or) surpass a certain benchmark hits.

Some considerations about benchmarking include:
• You need to play by the protocol. A benchmark is achieved by working with industry terms to meet such standards. Benchmarking involves identifying all of the necessary components that will run together, the market where the product exists and the specific metrics to be considered.

• Because you play by the rules, you can be clear. Benchmarking outcome can be available to the outside world. Since comparisons may be produced by your competitors, you will be using a strict set of standard approaches for testing and data to ensure reliable results.

• You reveal results across various metrics. Performance metrics may involve load time, number of transactions processed per unit of time, Web pages accessed per unit of time, CPU usage, memory usage, searches, and so on.
