At Spec-India, we have a framework built on the concept of Keyword as well as Data driven testing and re-usable test components. This makes it easy to build and maintain test suites.

Ahmedabad, Gujarat -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/27/2010 -- Mobile Applications are written to run on the mobile device or take advantage of existing software on the device such as a web browser. Testing mobile wireless applications has various innate challenges ranging from practical limitations such as hundreds of models of handsets, many network operators, different versions of the underlying software, etc. This makes Testing Mobile Applications a tough job.

For testing these applications, at Spec-India we set the following goals:

•To deliver attractive, useful, working application for as many users as possible.

•To have reasonable confidence in the quality of our application. . Ideally, most of the issues would be found and fixed before the software is widely used.

•To detect issues quickly and report to developers. This helps them to fix the code while they are still familiar with it.

Testing Strategy

As manual testing is very time consuming, we do support the manual testing with use of test automation tools and libraries. We use automated unit tests to test the business logic and the communications libraries of the client application or use automated tests from desktop computers, to send messages and inSpec-Indiat the received messages.

Our experience shows that the testability interface of the software under test needs to be very detailed, correct and complete in order to enable multiple levels of automated testing. If the testability interface is incomplete or not giving detailed information, we consider manual testing to automation.

At Spec-India, we have a framework built on the concept of Keyword as well as Data driven testing and re-usable test components. This makes it easy to build and maintain test suites. Data related to all the scenarios permutations such as device, OS, network and valid –invalid values is generated thru xls or xml files and input to the script. With an automation framework in place we try to make optimum use for regression of all the functional requirements but for UI and rendering related requirements we rely on manual testers.

So at Spec-India for mobile application testing, our strategy is to have a hybrid approach that builds on the relative strengths of humans and automated tests.

The application has important features like Multiple updates in one transaction which is very much required in most of the application. There is a flexible layout option to change the layout as per the requirement.

Ahmedabad, Gujarat -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/26/2010 -- There are various RAD tools available in the Market but we found that all those tools have there own limitations hence we have decided to create our own tool called RADIT. The application has a library part and a XML part. All the application specific code is written in XML with the SQL queries. RADIT 1.0 had some limitations hence SPEC India has released a New Version of its RAD tool called RAID 2.0 which has been re-designed from scratch using JSON.

The main advantages with this tool are

• Ease in Application development.
• Ease in Application Maintenance.
• Technology/Platform Independent.
• Minimum custom coding.
• High Performance
• Fast Learning Curve.

The application has important features like Multiple updates in one transaction which is very much required in most of the application. There is a flexible layout option to change the layout as per the requirement. Another important feature is all the data can be easily exported into xls file which can then be used for further analysis. Formula fields are also added for the easy calculation and dynamic summary. It also has Very flexible child window implementation which Support all parent operations in additional to transferring multiple records to parent. It is also possible to delete the multiple records on one shot.

The another biggest advantage is easy maintenance as it require only a knowledge of XML , SQL and the library interfaces which any one can easily learn. It also supports custom logic ( server / client ) , based on JSON interface. The code size is - 60% (6k lines vs 10k lines of c# server code) of the code size compared to the first version RADIT (1.0). In spite of added data controls/Ajax Minimal changes required in XML of Version v1.0. Custom logic changes may take additional time based on complexity. Total isolation of Custom code from library / js code . no code change required in library code for custom coding. Very good User interface can also be designed by custom coding. It also has other functions like custom buttons on table header, user operation control.

The RADIT tool has been used to create the following applications which are running successfully.

• Human resource Management
• Project tracking system
• Quote management system

Regression testing of Spec-India is based on a repository of tests developed from tests made up of base test case that can be run every time you build a new version of the program.

Ahmedabad, Gujarat -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/14/2010 -- One of the services provided by SPEC INDIA is Application Support and Maintenance. We have a vast experience in delivering quality off shore software application support. As a rule any time we modify an implementation within a program, we also do regression testing. We do this by rerunning existing test scripts against the modified code to determine whether the changes break anything that worked prior to the change and by writing new tests if necessary.

Sufficient coverage without wasting time is a primary concern when conducting regression tests. With effective planning we spend just enough time doing regression testing without reducing the probability of finding bugs in old, already tested code.

Our experience shows that:
- When software is fixed / change implemented, new and/or old bugs reoccur
- Many times a fix is "weak" that is, it fixes the problem in a typical scenario, where it was first observed but not in more general scenario which may arise later.
- A fix for a problem in one area involuntarily causes a bug in another area.
- Often in case of changes when some feature is redesigned, thru oversight the same mistakes that were made in the original implementation of the feature are made in the redesign

We consider the following aspects while regression test planning:
- Test fixed bugs/ changes first.
- Write test scripts for each bug fixed.
- Watch out for any adverse effects of fixes. The bug itself is fixed but a new bug created.
- If there are similar tests, find the most effective and get rid of the others.
- Identify tests that the program consistently passes and archive them.
- Focus on functional issues.
- Use different datasheets and find any resulting corruption.

Building a repository
Regression testing of Spec-India is based on a repository of tests developed from tests made up of base test case that can be run every time you build a new version of the program. With every new version of the program the test cases are updated to include all the feature changes and fixes. So before the next version is released for testing the scripts are ready for regression.

We also have the Automated Test Framework, which includes unit level and functional test cases. Unit level test scripts include functions to test basic validations, boundary conditions and timing for all the objects of the modules. While Functional tests provides generic routines and utilities useful even outside the context of a particular application. The Functions help with error detection, error correction, and synchronization. These Functions can readily use the application-specific data stored in the Data Table and test tables as necessary.

Periodic review of the regression test repository is done to eliminate redundant or unnecessary tests. Numerous tests are written and added to the regression test repository. These multiple tests are useful for fixing the bug, but when all traces of the bug and its variants are eliminated from the program, the best of the tests associated with the bug is selected and the rest removed from the repository.

The film also illustrates some of the pressing problems that beset this fragile landscape and seeks to inspire viewers with examples of conservation successes that came about because of peoples' action. The film aspires to stimulate a renewed interest in the conservation of the Western Ghats, which are the birthplace of most south Indian rivers, and a lifeline for hundreds of millions of people in peninsular India.

The film has won the Technical Excellence Award for Best Story at the recently concluded 5th CMS Vatavaran Environment and Wildlife Film Festival held at India Habitat Centre, New Delhi. During the festival, the award Jury cited the film as: "A visually powerful and well scripted film that succeeds in creating the much needed awareness for the conservation of 'shola' forests of the Western Ghats".

This film is highly acclaimed by the Centre for Media Studies (An organization that conducts film festival) for its School Programme 'Greening Young Minds' and is planning to distribute the film in English and Hindi version to ten thousand schools across India.
