Rama Kelkar is seeking a challenging position as a Software Engineer. He has a Bachelor's degree in Information Technology and Engineering from University of Pune with 65% marks. He has over 3 years of experience working as a Senior Systems Executive at Cognizant Technology Solutions where he worked on projects involving software distribution, packaging, and deployment using tools like MSI, Wise Studio, and Empirum. He has strong skills in programming languages like Java, C++, and SQL and packaging tools like Wise Package Studio and ORCA. He is also proficient in German language.
Software development is a bit of a thorny process. It involves the role of different individuals and not only fosters collective learning, but also helps in polishing the technical skills of everyone involved. This, however, also gives birth to difference in opinion and professional adversity. Developers and Testers are two essential cogs in a software development environment, whose interactions often lead to unending squabbling over difference between the job functionalities, job experience, mental attributes and what not.
Testing is a vital part of software development, since it is about finding the software bugs. You can choose from automated and manual testing. Automated testing is good for large projects with many systems users, while manual testing is good for smaller projects or for companies with insufficient budget.
You can also run Continuous testing. The purpose of Continuous testing and continuous integration is to enable continuous delivery, the end goal of which is to accelerate the delivery of high quality software.
Automation is essential for Continuous Testing but Automated Testing is not the same as Continuous Testing.
Try Jenkins Test Automation with codeBeamer ALM. Jenkins is an open source continuous integration tool written in Java. Jenkins provides continuous integration services for software development.
At J and Beyond 2011, I presented a session about using Continuous integration processes during Joomla and PHP development. I present the concepts of CI, and give some direction where to start setting it up yourself.
AGILE is a methodology that promotes continuous iteration of development and testing throughout the software development life cycle of the project. In agile method both the software development and software testing activities are done incrementally and iteratively, building up each feature until it provides enough value to release to production.
One of the challenges faced by many web development based projects is the integration of source code for multiple releases during parallel development. The task to build and test the multiple versions of source code can eat out the quality time and limit the efficiency of the development/QA team. The case study focuses to resolve the issues of extensive effort consumed in build and deployment process from multiple branches in source repository and aim at Identification of source code integration issues at the earliest stage. This can further be enhanced to limit the manual intervention by integration of build system with test automation tool.
The above can be achieved by using different CI tools (like Hudson/Bamboo/TeamCity/CruiseControl etc) for continuous build preparation and its integration with any test automation suite. The case study specifies the use of CI-Hudson tool for continuous integration using ANT tool for build preparation and further invoking the automation test suite developed using selenium. It also discusses the limitations and challenges of using such an integration system for testing a web based application deployed on Apache Tomcat server. It also details additional plugins available to enhance such an integration of multiple systems and what can be achieved using the above integration.
this presentation is collectively made by Shubham chugh, Megha Mathur, Priyanka Rawat, based on job analysis in the field of Information Technology senior software manager, on the basis of questionnaire based on University of Houston, describing about the job analysis, about the employee and the general purpose of his employment, about the duties he has to perform, what all are the major skills required by the senior software manager, organisation chart, what are the major responsibility required for the job, and conclusion
