Hello QA World!!!
This is a journey of sharing fun & knowledge in the Quality Assurance (QA) world!!
A decade spent in software testing has taught me so many great lessons in work and life in general.
As a proponent of simple, usable software products, I would like to avoid technical words and write in a language that can easily be understood ( add the fact that English is not my first language).
But here’s what I am really excited about :
I consciously & subconsciously developed some brain & testing techniques that proved invaluable in finding bugs or usability issues in software products.
It’s not like I woke up one day, and I already know how to teach everyone about it.
Initially, I struggled to pass on these mental skills & knowledge to new QAs. But experience is always the best teacher.
I have trained and coached over 25 software testers. The technique is not just how to find bugs, but developing the right mental skill and aptitude that will make them excel as testers. Once they are doing well in their jobs, they become more confident employees. They become more passionate software testers. They are proud of their contributions to the team. This new attitude benefits the employee, the employers and ultimately — the product!
I am inviting my fellow testers into my new home ! To share, to learn and gain new friends!
Cheers,
Tess Rupprecht

QA Interview : What is the Best Bug You Have Ever Found? »
Testing the comment field of my post first. Just practicing what I preach! So how am I going to test this comment field.
I will type randomly what I have in mind. I have only 10 minutes to write all the scenarios I can think off.
Pre-conditions for testing.
1. Check the Wordpress Settings for Comments. This comment should be held for moderation first and should not appear in the post unless it is approved by the admin.
2. Correct values are entered in all the fields ( we can write a very long test case for verifying the validity of the data input made by the users ). For time’s sake, we need to ensure that these 3 fields have the correct error handling code so that it can capture any mistakes made by our users.
Functional :
Success
1. Once comment is submitted, the page should re-refresh then comment is submitted for approval
1. Comment should not appear in the post unless approved
2. If approved, the comment should appear on the correct post
3. If not approved, the comment should not appear anywhere in the post
4. The exact comments submitted by the posted should appear at the correct section of the post
5. Error handling – there should a good feedback for successful submission of the post
… more
Failure
1. Comment appearing immediately on the post
2. Clicking Submit Comment does not submit the comment
3. Clicking Submit crashes the website
4. Error handling needs to be in place. Overflowing the comment field should be handled gracefully.
– more
Performance
1. How long does it take for the comment to be submitted
2. How long does it take for the comment to appear once the admin approved the comment
Load / Concurrency
1. What happens when there are 100 users submitting comments for the same post at the same time
And my 10 minutes if up!!!
