MySQL does not limit the number of slaves that you can connect to the master server in a replication topology. However, as the number of slaves increases, they will have a toll on the master resources because the binary logs will need to be served to different slaves working at different speeds. If the data churn on the master is high, the serving of binary logs alone could saturate the network interface of the master.

I’ve wanted to give instant.page a proper try out on my site for a while now. It’s a pretty clever approach. The script watches for when someone hovers over a link and then, when they do, uses the prefetch resource hint to get started fetching that page before the click event even occurs. I like the idea, in theory, quite a bit. I also like the implementation.

Without a doubt, automated browser testing has transformed the way software development works. If it wasn’t for Selenium, we wouldn’t be able to use such a wide array of bug-free web apps as we do. But sometimes, even the IT sector misunderstands the term automation. Most people assume that the computer is going to accomplish all the testing for them!

We had already postponed the Varna meeting originally planned for June 1-6, and earlier today INCITS (the U.S. national body) announced that it was banning all face-to-face standards meetings for the rest of the year, so we are also postponing the New York meeting previously planned for November 9-14.

When a software program or an application does not work the way it is created or designed to perform, it is called a software bug. In most cases, these errors are caused by developers or designers. The software testing team uses bug tracking software's to keep a track of bugs and to report them as the program is being tested. It is estimated that software developers make 100-150 errors for every thousand lines of code.

Bug reporting is an important and major aspect of software testing. Some teams discuss minor bugs with developers directly, while most companies make it a point to report the bugs irrespective of its severity. This way, we do not “bug” the developers too much and, the tester who finds it next will not spend duplicate efforts reporting the same bug again.

Have you ever faced a notion of “sanity” in the course of software testing? What is it? Why do we need sanity testing? Where did it come from and how is it connected with regression testing? If you are a project manager or team lead it is important to understand clearly not only how to use the test technique, but also when to apply it. For example, sanity testing is a tool with major benefits, which is comparable to regression testing due to many common peculiarities and the same final purpose.

Just like the best support call is the one the customer doesn’t have to make because they didn’t have a problem, the best post-talk question is the one the audience doesn’t have to ask because the answer was clear in the talk.

Introduction. Software testing is the process of finding bugs or discrepancies in a software. It is a process put in place to check that an application, set to be released in the market for users, has a minimum number of errors. Even though the job of a software tester is to catch errors committed by developers, software testers themselves are not immune to errors.

The most popular design pattern used in web UI test codebases is the Page Object Model (POM) design pattern. This pattern suggests modeling a class to represent a single page of your system under test. Using this model, the class would contain properties that represent the elements of the UI page and methods that interact with these elements. Given this is the Login Page of our application, let’s discuss tips for building a class using POM.
