While automating an application, taking the modern automation frameworks into consideration it becomes a necessary action to make our script interact with an excel sheet or csv data file in order to read and write the data. Usually we use excel sheet, as this provides more organized way of storing the data. Let’s see the […]

Nowadays, compatibility testing is in great demand as it gives us the confidence to say whether the application is usable across multiple platforms.

Objective Making modifications to TM1 rule files can (potentially) affect both the TM1 application and the TM1 server (that the application is running on). Rule modification or reprogramming can cause loss of data, changes in how the application responds (performance) and unexpected changes in memory consumption. In addition, it can be difficult to effectively test […]

General Coordination From a general testing perspective, consider the following: Identify and visit the test site before the planned testing days Establish an “onsite” coordinator – usually someone associated with the facility (hotel or facilities manager, perhaps) who will be responsible for any facility provided accommodations Inspect and Validate any and all facility provided accommodations […]
