To my colleagues who want to create quickly new workflow and don't want to touch xml \ property files. On Administrator \ Workflows If you don't have default workflow then create default Workflow with default JIRA "workflow" - it will show status as "active" so we cannot update its scheme \ workflow steps. Copy this workflow -- it has status as "Inactive" so we can update workflow scheme. Go to link "steps" and add new status \ transitions for new steps as required in your workflow. On Administrator \ Workflow Schemes Create new "Workflow Scheme" then click on "Workflows" link operation of new workflow just created. Assign workflow to scheme,... Issue type "Bug" and select our workflow from the list. Assign other workflows for issue types : Task, New Feature or Improvement with default workflow ( named JIRA ) or your workflow. Now our workflow scheme is ready to associate with our project. Go to you...
Typical Project flow with QA Loop in Jira (Atlassian)

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 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...

Continuous post of CSV\XML\RSS Feeds are QAed To validate Feed URL(s) are not broken ; we can use XML DOM. Below is script that validates broken link. 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.
CSV\XML\RSS Feeds are QAed

In Content centric organizations, feeds are one of the core part that needs to update every time when New Contents are Uploaded. New Categories \ Groups are introduced for Old Contents. As we know first one is very repetitive task -- so need repetitive validation. Second one is less repetitive but much costlier and involve high risk – so need more rigorous validation as well. Both missions have some kind of common problems : Feed Generator Software\Content System retrieve Content Data ( URL(s) \ Content Details ) which may have ASCII Characters and Memory Garbage and old inactive URL(s)– URL(s) where contents are not actually accessible by user. Feed may contain non compatible XML data( like special characters > Feed may not have broken content URL(s) and Content Details but they may be mapped wrongly. It means Content Details for one Content may not present its own Content URL or in opposite. So for QA, we expect to 1. Validate Broken Content URL(s) Content URL(s) are usually...

In smaller to bigger project, here are some basics about how to automate Unit testing with NUnit framework on .Net Platform. Where NUnit spot on SDLC? In other words, we can ask when to start unit automation on project? It depends on various parameters say for example Complexity of Method(s) / API(s) or Classes in production cycle - How Method(s) API(s) / Classes are called by other Method(s) / API(s) / Classes in production cycle. We can start NUnit automation after completion of any independent Method / API / its Class created at production and making automation continued towards parallel of development cycle of more dependent Method(s) / API(s) / Classe(s). Say for example we have small class library project in C#. Now lets start NUnit Automation in 7 simple steps : Create New Test C# Project (Here Named TestProject) and add production class (.dll) reference. Add reference NUnit.Frameworkto the TestProject. Add attribute "TestFixture" to mark as Test C...

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...

Testing Shifts with agile automation #RPA #ML
Someone has well said .. “To delight customers, one should continuously innovate, implement, test it, fix it, test it, release it and do all again and again.” To do so more efficiently, I would like to add Software AG Agile Tester (SAT). It offers various testing solutions to accelerate agile feedback loops. Currently Agile Tester (SAT) is being used in more than 52,000+ Tests by more than 21+ Product Teams . It is under Beta release for Clients. It has two major components 1. SAT Server - Central Repository for Test Scenarios and Test artifacts. 2. Tools 1. SAT Client 2. Recorder and Playback [Snapshot : #1] Developer or QA can use “Agile Tester” (SAT) to move testing process earlier in the development cycles so that We can prevent errors rather than detecting them later; Here We shift testing activities closer to the buil...

MLOps - Machine Learning Operations
Need > Want
If We dont ask : Why should We implement this? then We would miss out the best alternative solution to resolve the true needs and later on We fall under the high performance losses. I have many technical leader friends who have always thoughts and fight in their minds that when choosing features for product development milestones what is the actual "needs" for specific features to implement first on high priority; This is the tricky question and one gets the right answer in right time when He / She exercises and grows with correct set of tools and techniques and or process with his / her teams and clients. To understand the clients' and teams' NEEDs (and wants), There is an easy simple structured process -- It is called "Design Thinking" I use to call 2D-3D technique and am practicing this from many years. 2D means 2D iamonds technique to initiate with teams various meetings 3D means 3D imensional approach to continuously add feedback...

Remember, Those old school's days ?
Respect is not earned, It is given ⚘ 🙏
🙍🏻♂️ { Dev team Lead } : Sorry, We missed the deadline. 🙍🏻 { Normal Architect } : Hey guys you have missed the dead line 3rd times, You are the worst in the earth. 🙋 { Smart lead Architect } to 🙍🏻 { Normal Architect } You know, This will raise dark\low energy around our teams. You should handle the situation with calm & composed way and express more empathy towards our teams; in this situation, We would aware teams by replying as "I feel really frustrated because We have missed dead line, I am very worried about the project" "I want for you to tell me when you run in to the problem sooner so we can prevent this happening again." -- after all respect 🙏 is never earned, It is given ⚘ #horsemen behaviour #contempt or #stonewalling, #culture, #devops, #mlops, #aiops, #architect, #smart-work
