Before performing an upgrade to Quality Center 8.2, users who are currently using the Standard Edition of TestDirector must upgrade to the Enterprise Edition of TestDirector 7.6 or 8.0 and convert all of their MS Access projects to use Oracle, MS SQL or MSDE 2000. Quality Center 8.2 will not be able to support MS Access, and migration of project will fail if this is not done.
Since using Oracle or MS SQL requires additional license fees for the database server, TestDirector Standard Edition users should instead convert their MS Access projects to MSDE 2000. The instructions below describe the process for migrating the database from MS Access to MSDE 2000. read more »

Scrum is an iterative incremental framework for managing complex work (such as new product development) commonly used with agile software development.
Although Scrum was intended for management of software development projects, it can be used to run software maintenance teams, or as a general project/program management approach.

Often there is a need to verify the validity of the file being downloaded by the script. Under normal circumstances, if the file is a PDF or excel file, it will be returned/transmitted in binary (when you turned on replay log). In this way, unlike conventional functional tool, LoadRunner is unable to verify if the file downloaded is valid. read more »

HP has released LoadRunner 9.5 and it is now available for download [2.29GB iso file]. Below is the summary of new features introduced in it:
- LoadRunner noobs always struggle finding out the protocol behind a given application. It seems HP has noted the fact and have come out with a cool new feature called Protocol Advisor. It sits inside VUGen. Protocol Advisor helps you to determine an appropriate protocol for recording a Vuser script. The Protocol Advisor scans your application for elements of different protocols and displays a list of the detected protocols. These protocols can provide a starting point for finding the optimal protocol for your application. read more »

What is version control?
A version control system maintains an organized set of all the versions of files that are made over time. Version control systems allow people to go back to previous revisions of individual files, and to compare any two revisions to view the changes between them. In this way, version control keeps a historically accurate and retrievable log of a file’s revisions. More importantly, version control systems help several people (even in geographically disparate locations) work together on a development project over the Internet or private network by merging their changes into the same source repository. read more »

Version Control (aka Revision Control aka Source Control) lets you track your files over time. Why do you care? So when you mess up you can easily get back to a previous working version. read more »

A common question amongst people new to QTP is “Does QTP support AJAX?” Well, let’s look at what AJAX is an acronym for – Asynchronous Javascript and XML. QTP is primarily a GUI test tool, so the only technique we need to be concerned about is the javascript part. The reason for this is that the javascript dynamically updates the GUI (usually calling a XSLT stylesheet to style the XML data returned from the server using an XMLHTTPRequest). Where the information comes from, and in what format is largely irrelevant (For simple explanation of techniques used in AJAX, see here). read more »
