Diagnostic Data Adapters: Changing how Developers and Testers work together  The Test Impact Analysis using Test Impact Collector


While you are testing your application, Microsoft Test Manager can collect data that will help diagnose any fault that you might find. If you create a bug report while you’re testing, the data is automatically attached to the bug work item.
You can decide what kinds of data you want to collect from the above by configuring the corresponding Diagnostic data adapters.

The diagnostic data is collected in the test results. It will be added to a bug if you create one while performing the test.


Remote execution had introduced the concept of Diagnostic Data Adapters in Visual Studio 2010. We will jump right into working with two of our favorite Diagnostic Data Adapters: the Test Impact Collector and the Diagnostic Trace Collector. Both of these components have a part to play in how developers and testers interact in Visual Studio, making it easier for each discipline to unlock the potential of the other.

Test Impact Collector aims to bridge the gap between developers and testers to show you what needs to be tested and which tests need to be run. In the world of development and unit tests it is a fairly straightforward effort to enable code coverage and see what parts of the code have been called by your tests. The hassle of collecting coverage data, and providing consistent coverage through manual tests, is beyond the expectation for many testers. The development team often knows only by feature area what the test team has been up to, and vice versa for the test team to know what the development team has been trying to fix. The Test Impact Collector serves a vital role here by identifying for development which code changes will or will not be exercised by the test team’s existing test catalog, while it also helps testers identify which tests from that catalog they need to run in order to validate the new behavior their developers have included in a given build.


Test Impact Analysis


"Test Impact Analysis is a feature that first appeared with Visual Studio / Microsoft Test Manager 2010 and provides for the ability to recommend tests that should be re-run in response to changes that have been made at the code level. It's a very useful feature but it does need some configuration before it can be used".

QA's approach 2 Java - Understanding Static context

            Static Members Flow Class members In java application we are defining objects for communication.Every Object is represented as a model(class). Hence, java application is the combination of classes. And every class in java application is allowed to define following members. 1) static members 2) non-static members Static members flow using JVM architecture : Java class supports definition of 4 static members. 1) static main method 2) static block 3) static variable 4) static method Static main method Example class Demo { //empty..... } How to Compile & Execute a simple Java program? 1) Save the program in "d-drive" with name Demo.java 2) Open command prompt, navigate to the path where the java program is stored 3) Compilation: cmd/> javac Demo.java Demo.class file will be generated. 4) Execution:  cmd/>java Demo Error : main method not found... main method : 1) It is static method, hence...

Technologies - Log4J - Create Log4j Configuration File - Where ? How ? What ?

-
  Typical Steps involved in Creating Log4j Configuration file Configure the root logger - What to Log - info/debug/error/fatal messages Configure individual loggers (if needed). Specify appenders -- Where to Log -- in File/Console, etc Specify message layout/Pattern -- How to Log - format to log the message Configuring a Layout PatternLayout lets you determine how data is extracted from log events and formatted for output based on a conversion pattern. Conversion patterns act as placeholders for data that appears in each log event.  For example, let’s break down a PatternLayout commonly used in Log4j: <PatternLayout pattern="%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%t] %-5level %logger{36} - %msg%n"/> %d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} formats the date in terms of hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds. %t displays the Logger’s current thread. %level displays the severity of the log event. %logger displays the name of the Logger. %m displays the event’s message. Finally, %n adds a new line for the next e...
