  • Anatomy of an Automated Testing Framework
    MONTHLY NEWSLETTER July 2009 - Pragmatic Software Newsletters Anatomy of an Automated Testing Framework Last month we discussed why companies embark on automated testing, why some companies fail in this effort, and how using a keyword driven automated testing framework can increase your chance of success. To view that newsletter, visit http://www.pragmaticsw.com/newsletters/Newsletter_2009_06_SP.htm. This month we discuss the key ingredients of an automated testing framework that can lead to automation success. Why Automate Your Test Cases? Many companies run their regression test cases manually, so when does it make sense to begin automating your regression test cases? It makes sense to automate your test cases when you can no longer run the regression test cases on each build created. For example, if you are doing daily or weekly builds of your code to quality assurance and you cannot quickly run your regression test cases with each build, it is time to consider automating them. Automating your test cases provide these benefits: Quicker Releases – By having your regression test cases run automatically, your software quality team can concentrate on testing new features of your software and less time regressing existing features. Higher quality releases – Your software releases will have fewer bugs and require less customer support because they will be of higher quality. Happier Customers – Your customers will be happier and more willing to serve as testimonials for future prospects. What is an Automated Testing Framework? Most automated tools require the test engineer to understand a scripting language (VB Script, Java Script, etc.) to write their automated test cases.

  • Bsquare Annual Report 2018
    ANNUAL REPORT 2018 April 30, 2019 Dear shareholder, I would like to start by thanking the board for giving me the opportunity to serve you as President & CEO of Bsquare. I look forward to delivering on our commitments to our customers and business partners, creating an environment that can attract and retain the brightest minds in the industry, and most importantly building value and restoring the confidence of our shareholders. 2018 was a year of transition for Bsquare Corporation. In May of 2018 president & CEO Jerry Chase stepped down, and the board appointed Kevin Walsh as acting CEO while they initiated a search for a permanent chief executive officer. At that time Andrew Harries became executive chairman, increasing his involvement in day-to-day management. The changes were a recognition by the board of directors that the DataV IoT software-as-a-service (SaaS) business was not progressing as quickly as the prior leadership had projected. 2018 also saw changes to the board of directors of Bsquare: in June Ryan Vardeman, principal and co-founder of Palogic Value Management, LP, was appointed; in August Robert Peters, also of Palogic, joined following the resignation of Robert DeSantis; and finally, in November, Davin Cushman, CEO of Ignite Technologies, was appointed, replacing long-time board member Kendra VanderMeulen. In an interim capacity Kevin Walsh was tasked with reducing spending on DataV software development and exploring options for transitioning the DataV SaaS-only model to combination of software and professional services. The board of directors also directed Kevin to further explore partnering opportunities with Amazon and Microsoft as their cloud and Internet of Things (IoT) strategies seemed synergistic with Bsquare’s DataV Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) strategy.

  • The Development and Evaluation of a Unit Testing Methodology
    Computer Science Stefan Lindberg and Fredrik Strandberg The Development and Evaluation of a Unit Testing Methodology Master’s thesis 2006:3 The Development and Evaluation of a Unit Testing Methodology Stefan Lindberg and Fredrik Strandberg ii This report is submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Science degree in Information technology. All material in this report which is not my own work has been identified and no material is included for which a degree has previously been conferred. Stefan Lindberg Fredrik Strandberg Approved, 2006-03-07 Opponent: Per Hurtig Advisor: Donald Ross Examiner: Tim Heyer iii iv Abstract Westinghouse Fuel Manufacturing in Västerås, Sweden, manufactures fuel rods for nuclear plants. Manufacturing-IT is a software development section at Westinghouse Fuel Manufacturing. This thesis involves the development of a unit testing methodology (UTM) for the Manufacturing-IT section, which currently does not follow a well-defined software test process. By evaluating different unit testing best practices and UTM design issues collected from literature, articles, papers and the Internet, a UTM document was developed. The UTM document was developed according to requirements from Manufacturing-IT and as an extension to existing documents within the Westinghouse organization. The UTM was evaluated by applying the methodology in a case study. A single unit within a production control system in the rod manufacturing workshop at the Westinghouse fuel factory in Västerås was tested. Asides from evaluating the UTM, the case study was intended to find software tools that could simplify the unit testing process, and to test the production control system unit thoroughly.

  • Significance of Testing Through Testing Tools: Cost Analysis
    e-Περιοδικό Επιστήμης & Τεχνολογίας e-Journal of Science & Technology (e-JST) SIGNIFICANCE OF TESTING THROUGH TESTING TOOLS: COST ANALYSIS Jigna B Prajapati Research scholar , Shri JJT University, Jhunjhunu, Rajasthan. Abstract Software testing is decisive factor for achieving reliability and more correctness in any program, application or in whole system. The system would become more adaptable by proper testing. In this process testing tools play an important role to help the developers. The first objective of this paper is to focus of significance of testing and its categories as per the testing performed by the particular entities. Secondly it represents the different vendors and their associated software testing tools with their key features. It also analyzes testing tools which work differently to check different types of application. Further the cost effectiveness for various testing tools has been shown by different charts. The ten high cost, ten low cost, open source and various free testing tools are shown to focus the effectiveness of cost factor. Keywords : Testing , Testing Tools, Automation, Cost. 1. Introduction Software Testing : It is the route of executing a program, application or system with the purpose of finding errors [1]. This process also involves any activity intended at evaluating competence of a program, application or system and seminal that it meets its required objectivity or not [2]. Software testing is the process of checking whole program, application or system by various way. The prime goal of testing is to find bugs, failure in software but testing is not focus only to the errors occurred at system but also focus the objective derived from the system.
