Good early morning all. Quick question for those who may know what I'm talking about. I'm looking for ideas and examples of Testing and Quality Assurance check procedures for .NET developer teams. Essentially I am looking for suggestions on creating test harnesses
or test scripts and QA methodologies that work in the "real" world of .NET development. I should mention that my folks are vb.net folks, not c#. (Yes, I can hear the boos and hisses, but this is actually a good business decision for our shop. ;) We do use
MS Visual studio .NET and are piloting it's integration with MS VSS 6.0c Thanks in advance.
There should really be a forum for QA/QC and SQE on this board. :-) , although I do believe that testability should be considered as a part of architecture. You will probably need to use more than one tool for testing. You can check out the MS Application Test
Center. Here is an article on it: http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/Code/2002/Sept/AppTestCenter.asp . You may also want to see if Mercury Winrunner has been updated for .NET . ASP.Net also supports debugging and tracing in the code-behind, so your dev team may
want to incorporate some sort of testware or diagnostic-ware into the application.
If you don't mind I'd like ask a followup question. I am very interested in adding a quality assurance program to my company's development life cycle. We work with asp.net C# and classic asp for web applications. We also do work in Flash. The quality assurance
program will focus primarily on bug testing but can expand into performance and bug testing. I am interested in learning about. 1. Recommendations for qa testing software tools for web applications in C# .NET, classic asp and /or flash. 2. Recommendations
for what to look for when hiring testers. 3. Recommendations for tester training. Please let me know if you have any insights.
i use NUnit for developer unit testing and have found it to be great. i then turn the product over to the qa team for product testing. you do need professional testers - they will pick up SO much stuff that a developer would miss. i believe in employing as
many testers as you have developers.
WOW! Thread resurrection after 2 years of inactivity. More important than the tools are the people and process. Non-technical testing (end user testing) can have improved success if you take user types into consideration… such as a computer/internet savvy tester,
a retiree, etc… of course you really only need to target the user types that your app is aimed at. One thing I see failing in most QA efforts is defining what is to be tested and what defines something as passing QA testing. If you just hand the app over to
the users and say – go find some bugs, you are basically taking the shotgun approach, which is mostly a waste of time. You’ll want to have some sort of manageable process in place.
You recommend matching the end user tester to the targeted user for the web site and then giving the tester clear goals. Do you do other types of testing?
It's also a good idea to add technical types of testing during your design/coding phases (such as nUnit and MS Application Test Center). If you only do your performance testing after most of the coding is done, it's going to be too late. Also, as with your
other testing, make sure you define what acceptable performance is before you test/tune. Hope that helps!
