Getting Open Source Test Tools To Work Together

by Frank Cohen — last modified Aug 19, 2008 11:15 AM
I will be speaking at STARWest, the software test automation conference, and PushToTest will be exhibiting at the conference. STARWest runs September 30 to October 3, 2008 at the Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim, California. PushToTest will be in booth 44.

I will be giving a talk on Open Source Test titled "Getting Open Source Test Tools to Work Together". Budgets are crunched and yet we still need to test. Open Source Test (OST) tools make test creation easy and efficient. Web, SOA, SOAP, and Ajax protocols are on the move and these tools provide much needed support testers.

We're planning to give away a new open-source test platform on a shiny new memory stick (pcmcia). I would be glad to send you one in the mail if you cannot attend the conference. Send me an email at frank@pushtotest.com with your address. I'll do my best to send these outside of the USA.

A 5 Times Performance Improvement From PushToTest

Norm Dressler send the following message this morning. I feel like a proud father! -Frank

I wanted to extend a 'thanks' to the PushToTest team and other open source developers/users on this list who assisted me in my testing endeavors.

We have successfully completed our scalability tests on a SOAP interface server and identified bottlenecks that allowed our system to scale from about 10 tps to just over 50 tps with a clear path on ways to improve that even further.  I suspect I will be promoting TestMaker in future projects as the opportunity arises.

Again thanks--

The New Look of Functional Testing

by Frank Cohen — last modified Jul 07, 2008 12:21 AM
We've been moving quickly with TestMaker 5.2. TestMaker 5.2 has a new face to functional tests. The controller panel for a functional test immediately logs to a new dashboard. The panel shows pass/fail status and duration to operate each step of a Functional TestScenario operation. This enhancement supports ScriptRunner execution of soapUI, TestGen4Web, and Selenium tests. For instance, each Assertion step in a soapUI TestSuite logs to PushToTest TestMaker as a step within a transaction.

It's very cool! (If I do say so for the team!)
