Sebastian Bergmann has posted an official call for help for a PHPUnit-related project that seems to be a more and more requested feature for the popular unit testing package - an Ajax-based test runner.   It would be great if the frontend for the browser-based test runner would make use of AJAX. Since I am clueless when it comes to both web design in general and AJAX in particular, I would appreciate if someone else could help me with implementing this test runner.   He's looking for the XHTML, CSS, and Javascript to put it all together as well as the Javascript that makes the magic happen. If you're interested in helping out, you can either contact him on the mailing list or in #phpunit on the Freenode IRC network.

Riding on the coat-tails of an earlier article about emigrating to other countries, I present to you a small summary of my experience rapidly learning French to pass a standardized test for Canadian immigration. Since I live in the middle of the US, far removed from anything resembling a Francophone environment, I had to resort to various online and offline resources to accomplish my goal, managing to learn enough to score as "advanced" in several categories in just 10 months. Even if you don't wish to emigrate, this article may be useful, as I go into full detail describing the techniques and methods I used. Or, at the very least, read and be amused.

Akash Mehta mentions on the Developer Tutorials Blog about some of his experiences with interviews, specifically dealing with the certifications people list on their resumes.  As he sees it, there's three categories:  The Good - things like the ZCE The Bad - proof of testing but no proof of experience The Ugly - failing to have anything to show your ability/knowledge   It's all about image, even when it comes to hiring a good programmer. Employers are looking first for someone who even vaguely looks like they know their stuff, then they dive deeper into the real skills and talents that potential employee might have.

(InfoWorld) - Believing current software testing approaches are antiquated, FedEx is working with the University of Memphis to take testing to its next steps. The package delivery company has commissioned the university to research a number of topics pertaining to the matter, through the FedEx Institute of Technology program at the school. The testing project, called the Systems Testing Excellence Program (STEP) could result in the largest testing organization in the country. Specifically, FedEx seeks methodologies to make testing processes shorter while ensuring that applications are high-quality. Current testing practices are basically the same as they were in the 1980s, said Dave Miller, vice president of information technology at FedEx. Code is written and then turned over to unit testing; testers look for defects and send that detail back to the development team, Miller said. Determinations are made on whether an issue actually is a defect or requirements shortcoming. "We sort of believe that testing as a discipline has probably not kept up pace," with other areas of IT, Miller said. FedEx's focus is on testing of large, complex, integrated software systems, on both mainframe and distributed systems. "We want to make sure we're in the forefront of the testing space," Miller said.Â  Research areas being studied include: * Risk-based testing process, featuring risk assessment * Multi-stage system testing model, for fault-tolerance and debugging-free software * Managing software testing in projects that involve offshore vendors * Engaging testers earlier in the lifecycle * Skill acquisition by testers * Gauging employee personality and cultural characteristics as they pertain to software test projects * Development of decision models for the best use of software testing resources * Systems Testing Expert System * Improving test benefits through the software development lifecycle * Knowledge transfer mechanism for skills acquisition in software testing * Applying a knowledge management approach to testing * Network Infrastructure Test Suite, to automate detection of network vulnerabilities University students who stand out during the project may even be hired by FedEx. The project has been under way since last summer. FedEx plans to hold a summit meeting in Memphis in May to discuss findings. Companies and organizations such as Borland, the Eclipse Foundation, Mercury Interactive, and Microsoft are expected to be invited, as will others from academia. Invitations also will be extended to Indian-based companies such as RelQ, which does software testing, Miller said. FedEx and the university also are developing a systems certification intended to arm graduates with proof that they are experts in the testing field.
