With the release of HPE UFT/LeanFT 12.51, HPE provided the capability for HPE LeanFT tests to be executed from HPE ALM with the results stored in HPE ALM. In previous posts, I showed how to execute tests created in both Eclipse and Visual Studio in HPE ALM. The HPE documentation on how to view the… Continue reading How to View HPE LeanFT Test Results in HPE ALM

Running HPE LeanFT Tests from HPE ALM – Part Two
Tests Created in Visual Studio With the release of HPE UFT/LeanFT 12.51, HPE provided the capability for HPE LeanFT tests to be executed from HPE ALM with the results stored in HPE ALM. We found the process to accomplish this in HPE documentation to be cumbersome, and it currently contains errors (which HPE is correcting).… Continue reading Running HPE LeanFT Tests from HPE ALM – Part Two

Setting IP Spoofing with HPE LoadRunner and HPE Performance Center
IP spoofing is the solution when performance testing requires multiple virtual users to use multiple IP addresses from a single host machine (load generator) to keep the web server from blocking those virtual users. Also IP spoofing is needed when the hardware configuration under test balances load across a “farm” of several (web or database)… Continue reading Setting IP Spoofing with HPE LoadRunner and HPE Performance Center
Developing a Functional Reporting Framework
In a recent blog, I introduced the topic of test data reporting and the value of having a robust structure to maximize its value. In that blog, we talked about the six different levels of reporting sophistication, which we have identified in our work helping customers develop more effective reporting frameworks. Reviewing this information gives… Continue reading Developing a Functional Reporting Framework

Optimizing the User Experience: How’s That Coming Along?
Google the search term, “user experience,” and the search engine produces 237 million results. User experience is everywhere, with articles proclaiming it is the “end all and be all” of software today. As it happens, those articles are right. Most software professionals know, even if they don’t address the fact, that user experience has become… Continue reading Optimizing the User Experience: How’s That Coming Along?
Are Your Teams Using Test Data and Reporting Effectively?
Despite the proven value of collecting raw data from testing activities and analyzing it to create actionable, easily digested key performance indicators (KPIs), I find that most firms still struggle with utilizing test process data and organizing it into functional reports. Only a few have been able to implement truly effective, streamlined reporting systems—and many… Continue reading Are Your Teams Using Test Data and Reporting Effectively?
Performance Assessment – Collaboration
Learn to Collaborate Communication breakdown is not unique to IT. Somehow, most IT organizations create towers. Maybe this happens to reduce the number of status meeting or to allow for a tree-shaped management chain. When leadership creates these separate teams, the intention is not to prevent the individual contributors from collaborating and working efficiently, but… Continue reading Performance Assessment – Collaboration
A VuGen Solution for Timing HTTP Redirects
When performance testing demonstrates a bottleneck in an integration that is seamless to the end user, how do you pinpoint where the problem lies? On a recent project, I was asked to test the addition of a survey hosted at a third-party site. Once the user completed the survey and was redirected back to the… Continue reading A VuGen Solution for Timing HTTP Redirects
