Typical Project flow with QA Loop in Jira (Atlassian)

Image
Last week, one of my friend needs some help to establish Project\QA workflows on Jira (Atlassian) So here I am happy to share some of my odd solution. Project Flow problems or hard to implement in Jira were * One stage splits with multiple stages in flow. * More than one stages merges to one stage. Here We have Brainstorming splits to UT - ST stage and Dev Review - QA Review merges with Review stage executed by System Group Members in project flow. One issue splits with more than one issues, can also be implemented with sub-tasks feature but it may not push next stage in the project flow as the project progresses; all sub-tasks are linked to the parent task only, may not execute inline flow; may not give more control to administrator\lead and may be more complicated to maintain. Sub-tasks may not be merged to one task on transitions after Dev. Review / QA Review merges to Review stage. Core objective is to implement flow that anyone can see each stage of the flow and can

Combinations n Permutations in QA

Combinations n Permutations are very useful in software testing. It help to find possible test-data / testcases. This session will provide details about 1. Some basics about Combinations 2. Logic to find possible combinations for taking k numbers of items from n number items at a time. 1. Some basics about Combinations. You might be come across with below example in old school days. We have set { "ant", "bug", "cat", "dog", "pig" } and If we want to take 3 elements at a time then we would have possible combinations as { "ant", "bug", "cat" } { "ant", "bug", "dog" } { "ant", "bug", "pig" } { "ant", "cat", "dog" } { "ant", "cat", "pig" } { "ant", "dog", "pig" } { "bug", "cat", "dog" } { "bug", "cat", "pig&qu

To validate ASCII Character , I have used below script. You can create excel custom tool where you centralize all feeds , verifies broken resources before creating actual feed.

Test Environment Setup

Objective How to make your automation framework accessible through out all Test Environments in other sense how to make your automation objects ( scripts \ business objects ) reusable with other platforms with Automation Tools such as QTP \ Silk Test. Problem You have different test platforms such as qa:6080 like build in qa 6080 port. qa:7080 like build in integration qa 7080 port. qa:8080 like build in staging qa 8080 port. Live environment (like any production site) We need to have centralized automation script that can get access to all above platforms. Approach for problem solution • We need to create 1.Function that can read current global environment configuration which may be in .xml. 2.Start-up Script that can add / update / set current environment from .xml or any other format – you can make GUI tool or use VBScript + Excel to maintain easily. •We need to normalize all automation objects which are pointing to specific platform like filtering out all redundancy from automat
