Using Jenkins to Run and View UFT Tests in ALM As a follow-on to our recent post about setting up Jenkins to execute tests built with Micro Focus UFT and LeanFT, this article will outline the process for running and viewing UFT tests in Micro Focus ALM. (See Running Test Sets from ALM on the… Continue reading Running UFT Tests in ALM from Jenkins

Using Jenkins to Execute Tests Built with Micro Focus UFT and LeanFT
Increasingly, I am seeing companies use Jenkins to execute tests for UFT and/or LeanFT, two automated testing tools from Micro Focus (formerly HPE) that can accelerate quality and release cycles compared to manual testing. This is a sensible approach, given that UFT and LeanFT, when run with Jenkins, can streamline the continuous integration/continuous delivery pipeline.… Continue reading Using Jenkins to Execute Tests Built with Micro Focus UFT and LeanFT
It’s Late 2016, What’s the New Rule for Performance Test Environments?
This question was passed around internally last week: “Does anyone on this distribution list have a list of good reasons why a test environment should approximate that of production to provide accurate test results in lieu of using a cheaper, smaller test environment and math to estimate production-like results?” In my former career, we had… Continue reading It’s Late 2016, What’s the New Rule for Performance Test Environments?
Intervention Coming for “I Hate Agile” Crowd
For all of the conferences held in agile’s honor, and the praise it gets from coaches, evangelists, and companies like Skytap, nobody calls it a silver bullet. But there’s one thing we all agree on—agile is very difficult. Whether looking at the culture change required, embracing the continuous integration, delivery and deployment of code, or… Continue reading Intervention Coming for “I Hate Agile” Crowd
Agile: Speed of Agile Barrier is as Real as the Sound Barrier
The Bell X-1 is the historic US plane credited for breaking the sound barrier. The “sound barrier” is a term coined to represent the belief that man and aircraft could not travel faster than the speed of sound. Stemming from the perception that drag (air-resistance and friction), which dramatically increases as you approach the speed… Continue reading Agile: Speed of Agile Barrier is as Real as the Sound Barrier
Steps to Implement a Java Selenium Automation Project: A Customer Story
Background In order to plug into the continuous delivery pipeline, one of our customers wanted us to implement an open source test automation solution from the ground up using Selenium WebDriver. The customer had an existing automation framework that they were moving away from and we were given 2 weeks to get everything up and… Continue reading Steps to Implement a Java Selenium Automation Project: A Customer Story
Are Your Development and Testing Teams On the Same Page?
Traditionally, development and testing/QA teams have worked in isolation, with each group performing its respective tasks. Not only were they not on the same page, they weren’t even speaking the same language. Modern approaches such as Agile advocate for developers and testers to work in a more collaborative, closely synched environment. Companies that have achieved… Continue reading Are Your Development and Testing Teams On the Same Page?
Agile Performance Testing – Proactively Managing Performance
Just in case you haven’t heard, Waterfall is out and Agile is in. For organizations that thrive on innovation, successful agile development and continuous deployment processes are paramount to reducing go to market time, fast tracking product enhancements and quickly resolving defects. Executed successfully, with the right team in place, Agile practices should result in… Continue reading Agile Performance Testing – Proactively Managing Performance
Code Coverage in Development Phase
Let’s consider how code coverage and other similar processes, as requested, fit within the workflow of an application during design and development. I think of this in the following stages: Local development – quality analysis Centralized build – quality analysis Test coverage workflow (next post) Test case coverage evaluation (next post) Local Development – Quality… Continue reading Code Coverage in Development Phase
Geometric Value in Continuous Integration
One of the most important measurements in software development is related to the defect queue. I don’t mean simply the count of defects. A queue has a depth, latency, service time and throughput. The depth is the count of issues assigned to a team or person. The latency tells you how long an issue sits… Continue reading Geometric Value in Continuous Integration
