I am always excited about the tools which can aid me in my mission. And that mission is, to inject my test idea and produce effective results. Since my school days, I have been using various tools/utilities/plugins/extensions to execute my idea. To me, it is not about the tool only but also the idea that comes first to the brain from a variety of thinking skills. For instance, if I do not know how to drive a sports utility vehicle skillfully, I cannot harness the power of the machine offered to me. You are going to join me in this workshop for these 3 reasons: Usage of tools to perform better testing Increase your productivity and invest more time in testing Just because you can In this tools demonstration, I will be focussing on a variety of aspects or ways in how a specific tool can be used in your testing activity. And remember that, a tool offers you more than what you think it can achieve if and only the fuel is the right one to feed the tool. And that fuel is your creative ideas. In my childhood days and adulthood, I have used tiny, teeny, and little tools or plugins to extract great results in my testing and achieving effective productivity. In short, tools are my slaves and I am a good master. The first and foremost idea is to have blueprint/architecture of what you want to achieve and then the tools or frameworks or piece of code is a matter of connecting the wires to power the building. Welcome to this lightning powerful tools demonstration workshop.

1. TOOLS ARE MY
SERVANTS.
AND I AM THE
MASTER.

3. I can call the program as
a tool which helped me
to postpone exams.
I started using a variety of software during my
school. An anecdote that I love to share here is: I
postponed the lab exams by writing software
that could infect all the computers in the
computer lab with a message as
"YOU ARE USING A PIRATED SOFTWARE.
WINDOWS WILL SHUT DOWN NOW". VOILA!
AM I EVIL? OR KIND?
