Looking for ideas

To start new career: You name it anything you start is mainly for money. Even if you want to start a charity, it needs money.... Baseline is money. You need to think before you start. Once you started don't stop it immediately thinking you are in loses. For Successes, people say “Due to luck he has achieved” For Failure, Same people say “he doesn’t know how to handle the situation” Example: In Indian cricket, if the person is out in that moment everyone start commenting he has to put defense, someone will say he can hit ball. These people, why they were not selected in the Indian team? 

A Journey towards Sun Rise

Life Builder Toast Master Club: A Journey towards Sun Rise I found I needed time to draw away to heal, process through the loss, and reflect on the impact of these experiences. I am thankful my loved ones are no longer in pain, but I am honest enough to say I wish I could still enjoy their company, see their smile, hear their laugh. And while I know God has been with me on this journey, I confess there have been some days of deep sadness, the sting of loss, and some moments of darkness. But now, I'm beginning to see the sun rise again. The peace of God has brought comfort to me. Happiness has returned to my heart. Because of the tender mercy of our God, whereby the sunrise shall visit us from on high to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace Each practical step along the Journey to Sunrise includes: A straightforward destination Reflections of actual career transition Journey Specific insights/action items

Challenges in Onsite and Offshore model

Generally for any model either it is offshore development center or onsite or onshore development center. 1. we need to have good coomunicator so that other part of the team can be able to understand the requirment clearly. 2. Team should have good understanding of their team mates 3. Always team should undergo the business knowledge training, it will be value added. 4. Onsite and offshore Connectivity 5. Application response time will be very slow 6. Application Stability 7. Documentation of understanding 8.

General Testing Practices

  General Testing Practices Whenever possible, tests should be isolated and without system or user conflicts. Retest should always be executed and fully documented when significant errors are found. Review all scenarios and test cases with a functional expert prior to testing. Explain Findings and provide backup documentation. Define defect assignment and escalation workflow before test execution. Review the Defects with all the stake holders on regular basis helps to ensure that all the defects are on track. QA team and dev team should have Test Case review meeting before SQA which helps in synchronization and coordination of various QA activities and also minimize the defect rejection ratio. Knowledge sharing sessions helps in getting awareness on other business process areas. Maintaining a detailed KT Checklist which also covers transition pre requisites, application access, hands-on exposure followed by Exit Test. 

Testing Documentation

Documentation 1.       Test Case Information should be extremely detailed and in simple language 2.       Number each Test case – As described in the Test Plan. 3.       Expected Result should be documented prior to testing for each Test Case. 4.       Documents run times for all reports and processes. 5.       Copy error exactly as they appear – screen shots are the best way to capture the error message. 6.       Include the test case number in the screen shots File name. 7.       Errors should stand out on Test plan ( use red to Highlight) 8.       Web Testing – Document URL and Environment in the Test. 9.       Be consistent with documentation throughout test plan(s) 10.   Document logistics if appropriate 11.   Document testers name on Test Plan.

Best Practices in testing

Developing Test Cases ·          Determine the Focus of the Test Before beginning. ·          Create Test Scenarios – Follow the Application functionality when creating ·          Scenarios should have multiple test cases tied to each. ·          Positive Test Cases – Acceptable Input Data  - Expected to Work ·          Negative Test Cases – Unacceptable Input Data  - Expected NOT to Work ·          Creative Brainstorming Test Cases  - Helps detect  unexpected results ·          Consider Risk Factors – Increase number of test cases for volatile areas of the systems, complex code, newly created code. ·          Number of Test Cases – Average is 2 to 3 per function ( for Low to Medium Risk Factors)
