Comparison study: Appraisal and Resignation
|
Appraisal |
Resignation
|
|
In appraisal meeting they will speak only about your weakness, errors and failures. |
In resignation meeting they will speak only about your strengths, past achievements and success.
|
|
In appraisal you may need to cry and beg for even 10% hike. |
In resignation you can easily demand (or get even without asking) more than 50-60% hike.
|
|
During appraisal, they will deny promotion saying you didn’t meet the expectation, you don’t have leadership qualities, and you had several drawbacks in our objective/goal. |
During resignation, they will say you are the core member of team; you are the vision of the company how can you go, you have to take the project in shoulder and lead your juniors to success.
|
|
There is 90% chance for not getting any significant incentives after appraisal. |
There is 90% chance of getting immediate hike after you put the resignation. |
Functional Test Case Generation Capabilities of inteGREAT Studio
Software testing is becoming more complex and demands for new techniques and methods to assure software quality. System testing method is used to verify those requirements are successfully implemented. System test cases are obtained from functional requirements and use cases are widely used to define functional requirements.
Denger and Gutierrez survey analyzed 13 approaches to derive test cases from the functional requirements. These approaches have got some solved and unsolved aspects in the process of generation of test cases. The survey concludes that approaches work at a theoretical level without describing how to generate executable test cases. Read More »
Video Lecture on Requirement Analysis for Test Documentation
Requirement Analysis for Test Documentation - Part I
Dr Kaner talks about the requirement analysis of the Test documentation. According to Dr Kaner IEEE 829 is an paradigmatic example of standard that supports heavy weight software development process. You don’t have to generate all the documents listed in 829 to be IEEE 829 compliant. Time spent in filling boiler plate information could be spent in documenting testing strategies and other useful information. The biggest problem with modern heavyweight projects is that they have a lot of inertia and resist the necessary change.
Video Lecture on Specification Based Testing
Specification Based Software Testing - Part 1
Dr. Kaner in this wonderful lecture explains the concept of specification based software testing. He explains what is specification based software testing. Importance of the specifications in the places where it is served as a contractual agreement is also discussed in this lecture. It also explains why specification might not be relevant if it served as vision document to guide the development initially and now it is not up to date. He also explains concept related to Active Reading can be applied to Specification documents.
Definition of Errors, Defects, Bugs, Failures and Problems.
All of these terms are often used interchangeably by QA Persons and they don’t feel any difference among those terms. I have a book “Managing the Software Process” witten by Watts S. Humphrey, In this book he precisely defines the distinction among Errors, Defects, Bugs, Failures and Problems. Read More »
Verification and Validation (V&V)
Software verification and validation (V&V) is a technical discipline of systems engineering. The purpose of software V&V is to help the development organization build quality into the software during the software life cycle. V&V processes provide an objective assessment of software products and processes throughout the software life cycle. This assessment demonstrates whether the software requirements and system requirements (i.e., those allocated to software) are correct, Read More »
Difference between QA and QC
The following statements help differentiate Quality Control (QC) from Quality Assurance (QA):
Quality Control (QC):
- QC relates to a specific product or service.
- QC verifies whether particular attributes exist, or do not exist, in a specific product or service.
- QC identifies defects for the primary purpose of correcting defects.
- QC is the responsibility of the worker. Read More »
