Peace be with you

This is at abstract level. We need to fine tune this for each project.

Those who miss proper testing, will see stars in production.

What went wrong in many projects I had seen?

1. Business team is giving performance numbers at the end of the project.

2. Managers are pushing to achieve functionality first to show case to business by ignoring performance numbers.

3. Not measuring memory, CPU usage during performance testing. Not doing performance testing all together.

4. Setting new performance goals at the end of the project.

5. Not having any performance tracking code plugged in or written. (Every body want to measure at the end…how?)

6. Not spending adequate time on performance testing. Many people do 1 hour or 6 hour. Supposed to simulate production environment for more than two weeks.

Many time production systems will fail after deploying new code with in hours to first two weeks.

Because the missed parallel production steps.

If you have any more questions, please let me know.

Thank you,

Many times we miss security testing or we will do in last minute. Due to this we dont have enough time to fix the issues or we may put application into production with security risks. What we need to do?

Step 1: Plan Security Testing as part of Testing efforts.

Step 2: Educate developers about security risks in application

Step 3: Do security testing earliest and fix issues as early as possible.

Question: How to test applications on mobile phones?

Answer: We have two types of applications.
1. Browser based applications.
2. Simple applications (1. Standalone, 2. Client Server).

Testing approaches:
1. Test on simulators
2. Test on simulators provided by client web sites
3. Test directly on required devices.

There is no difference between regular testing and mobile phone application testing.
