Here’s a little something I like to do when I’m running short of bugs to find and generally getting kind of bored running the same tests over and over again. I usually find a fair few bugs this way, and if I don’t, well it’s pretty entertaining anyway. So let’s say you’re testing an […]
A coworker showed me this the other day – The Lorem Ipsum Generator. It’s probably not a newsflash for most people, but it’s a generator of big chunks of gibberish that you can customise to be as long or short as you like. It’s really handy for when you are testing forms or documents and […]
Automated test cases are a wonderful thing in theory. It’s great to be able to just set them running overnight and see what failed in the morning. But if your test scripts aren’t robust, then your cases are going to be as unreliable as a clock made of jelly, and that will make the test […]
As it turns out, there is a second part to the Lazy Methodology. As well as finding bugs as a result of programmer laziness, you can also find bugs as a result of tester laziness. It’s pretty simple, way simpler than Part I. You just have to look through the list of current or […]
Hi again all, welcome once more to a wonderful journey into the world of testing. Or, as we in the industry like to call it, “Testopia”. Today I shall introduce to you what I call the “Lazy methodology”. The irony of this name is that it actually requires some thinking power to use it, […]
To start with, I thought I’d explain a testing methodology that I have been using for my entire testing career (must be about 7 or 8 months now which is almost long enough to have a baby so that’s a long time alright?). This style of testing is kind of like catching a bear. […]
