如何质量和进度都双赢

任何软件产品都由2部分组成：业务逻辑+软件技术。业务逻辑通常由产品经理设计，软件技术由软件开发架构师设计和程序员编程实现。而测试人员呢？则通常对两大部分的质量问题都会进行评测。无论是主动认知还是被动发展，在大部分的组织中都会发现有一部分测试人员更喜欢和擅长进行业务逻辑的测试（后面称:SET）、一部分测试人员更喜欢和擅长对软件技术的测试（SDET）。

 常规业务逻辑的测试类型有：功能验证、功能测试、场景测试、端到端测试、探索测试；

 常规软件技术的测试类型有：性能测试、可靠性测试、单元测试、Code Review

 帮助提升研发效率的技术手段有：持续集成、自动化测试

通常SET会更喜欢和擅长常规业务逻辑的测试类型，SDET会更喜欢和擅长折腾常规软件技术的测试类型和帮助提升研发效率的技术手段。

两类测试者的知识结构有所不同：

SET们会更喜欢学习和了解产品的商业知识和分析用户场景及用户行为，从业时间久了会成为产品专家，这类测试者经过长期测试工作训练将拥有更强的以“用户为中心”的思维习惯，无论是转型产品设计或是产品推广都会比较容易，产品路线是其发展的核心。

SDET们会更喜欢学习和了解产品实现的各类软件技术，如：编程语言、软件设计方法、非功能的测试技术（自动化测试/性能测试/可靠性测试等）、帮助提升测试效率和软件质量的各类软件工具和工程方法。此类角色从业时间久了会成为技术专家，技术路线是其发展的核心。

    作为一家产品公司SET和SDET都是必须的，至于SET重要还是SDET更重要将由各公司的基因文化决定。例如：在华为是一家以“客户为中心”的公司，因此在华为ST地位更高也更重要些。在谷歌是一家以“技术创新为中心”的公司，因此SDT地位更高也更重要些，但是后来谷歌也发现了SDET受限于工作时间和兴趣志向的约束导致一些产品问题无法单纯靠SDET来解决，所以又重新组建了谷歌SET资源与SDET形成互补，才真正更好支撑起了谷歌商业产品的需求。（更多可见【转载】How Google Tests Software - The Life of a TE）http://www.51testing.com/index.php?uid-293557-action-viewspace-itemid-842600

所以作为一个tester无论走哪条专业路线（产品路线或技术路线）最终依赖的是个人的兴趣和喜好。

喜好走产品路线的同学也不要觉得职业发展就比走技术路线的同学差，在大多数非技术驱动的产品公司中似乎SDT后来的发展空间比SDET更大。我认识的这类测试人员有的后来还有做到产品总监和市场总监。如果你的创新气质和能力很强，可以往产品经理去发展。如果你的商业思维和影响力很强，可以往产品市场经理去发展。如果你创新力一般又不喜欢商业的压力，也可以做成一个公司中的稀缺的产品测试专家，在公司中也是一个宝，无人可代替。

喜好走技术路线的同学职业发展路线可以是：成为软件开发者、软件工程专家、软件测试专家，活在自己喜欢的世界中。在重视技术创新和技术品质的公司中也会获得很好的发展。

the importance of exploratory testing. Exploratory testing is a (generally) manual approach to testing

One novel and successful approach to exploratory testing used at Microsoft is the practice of pair

testing. Inspired by pair programming, this practice groups two testers together for an exploratory

session, 15 pairs of testers found 166 bugs, including 40 classified as severity 1 (bugs that must be

Recording tests

Alternatively to creating a test manually (as described above), tests can be recorded by interacting with an existing web application.

The recorder requires that Firefox or Opera is installed. 

To record a test,

1. Right click in the background of a Test and choose "Record" (or right click on an arbitrary Page/State and choose "Record from this Page/State")
   Firefox/Opera will open and load the start point URL.
2. To record page element assertions, right click on the page in Firefox on "page elements" (e.g. a link) and choose e.g. "Assert link present".
   To record text-present-assertions, first highlight/select the text and then right click and choose "assert text present".
3. To record user interactions, interact with the page as normal. The interactions will be recorded, and "click" events will trigger the transition to a new state. Text input will not automatically trigger a transition to a new state. Observe that user interactions are added to the Cubic test model in the background.

To stop recording,

1. Right click in the graphical test editor -> toggle "Record" off.

Hi All,
 
In this article I will tell you how you can install and use Selenium RC(the best open source web testing tool and multi browser testing). I have been using Selenium RC for a while now and found it very useful to test web based applications. I have found that there is no installation and user guide for Selenium RC.
 
First download selenium-remote-control-1.0-SNAPSHOT i.e. the nightly build from the http://seleniumrc.openqa.org/download.html. There is some issue with Version 1.0 beta 1 (run time error when running on IE browser).
 
This is a zip file so, unzip the file and save it in ur c drive (Folder selenium-remote-control-1.0-SNAPSHOT).  Create a folder called Seleniumin your c drive and a sub folder called tests in c:\Selenium. Save all you selenium scrīpts in C:\Selenium\Tests\. 
 
Before runing first thing is close all Firefox browser windows and follow the instructions given below.
 
Open the Windows "Start" menu, select "Run" (on Windows Vista, use "Start Search" or enable the Run box, as described here) then type and enter one of the following:

    * firefox.exe -profilemanager
    * firefox.exe -P
 
For more details go to http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager
 
When creating the profile manager you will have to create it under  a new folder C:\Firefoxselenium.
 
Once the profile manager is created you will have to create two batch file (.bat); one for IE and the other for Firefox.
 
This is an example of the SeleniumFirefox.bat file.
 
cd
\ cd C:\selenium-remote-control-1.0-SNAPSHOT\selenium-server-1.0-SNAPSHOT
java -jar selenium-server.jar -port 4545 -firefoxProfileTemplate C:\Firefoxselenium -htmlSuite chrome http://www.yourtestwebsite.com// C:\selenium\G_alltestff.html* C:\selenium\*Results.html*
pause 
 
This is an example of the SeleniumIE.bat file.
 
cd
\ cd C:\selenium-remote-control-1.0-SNAPSHOT\selenium-server-1.0-SNAPSHOT
java -jar selenium-server.jar -port 4545  -htmlSuite iehta http://www.yourtestwebsite.com// C:\selenium\G_alltestie.html* C:\selenium\*Results.html*
pause 
 
Next step is to create G_alltestff.html (For Firefox)
 
<html>
<head>
<meta content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
http-equiv="content-type">
<title>Test Suite</title>
</head>
<table id="suiteTable"    cellpadding="1"
           cellspacing="1"
           border="1"
           class="selenium">
        <tbody>
                        <tr><td><b>Test Suite</b></td></tr>
                            <tr><td><a href=".\Tests\Name of you selenium scrīpt.html">Name of the scrīpt</a></td></tr>
    </tbody>
  </table>
</body>
</html>
 
Next step is to create G_alltestie.html (For Firefox)
 
<html>
<head>
<meta content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
http-equiv="content-type">
<title>Test Suite</title>
</head>
<table id="suiteTable"    cellpadding="1"
           cellspacing="1"
           border="1"
           class="selenium">
        <tbody>
                        <tr><td><b>Test Suite</b></td></tr>
                            <tr><td><a href="C:\Selenium\Tests\Name of you selenium scrīpt.html">Name of the scrīpt</a></td></tr>
    </tbody>
  </table>
</body>
</html>
 
Once you have done this you are all set to rock and roll. To run Selenium RC on Firefox double click on  SeleniumFirefox.bat file and to run Selenium RC on IE double click on  SeleniumIE.bat. Selenium RC is a very useful tool and I feel it’s very stable that Selenium IDE.
 
I would also like to thank my colleague Wedi Wun for helping me write the Selenium RC installation and user guide.To know more about Selenium RC/IDE Data driven testing see my article Data Driven Selenium using Excel Macros.
 
Cheers
