Thank you for sharing this post. Automated software testing does save time and money but having said that, manual testing will always be a better option for mission critical projects.

Comment on 13 tips for testing web upload by Eusebiu Blindu

Hi Christian,

Thanks for the comment!
Yeah I agree for tip #6 , in Linux you have more options to create file names regarding the usage of chars. I actually wrote this blog post from Windows ( ) and I was trying to use ‘?’ and couldn’t. Then I had realized the possible OS differences.
For tip #7 I was thinking primarily for filesize limit, but time should also matter.
The re-triggering of failed upload is again of set of tests that can be done.
I will try to make up additional “tips” from your comment.

Regards,
Sebi

Hi Sebi,

nice list, good work.

Small annotation for Tip #6: “Special” – or maybe better invalid- characters differ from operation system to operatin system (to be precise: “file system”). In a Unix/ Linux environment nearly every special character can be used as filename, whereas characters as ‘*’, ‘?’ etc. are forbidden on Windows.
I think every testers can think of some nice scenarios for tis.

@Tip7: What is the maximum for the upload based on? Filesize? Time of the upload? This might influence your test approach.

Another one: Is it possible to re-trigger a failed file upload?

Regards,
Christian

Same applies for all special characters
AB=!@ BC=!@ AC=!@
AB=@ BC=# AC=$
AB=>? BC=>< AC=??<

Please try this one..
AB=2.2.2 BC=2.3.2 AC=2.2.2
It will display as “Triangle is isosceles”

[...] Eusebiu Blindu, a Czech tester, recently came up with an interesting online challenge. He created a testing exercise in finding bugs and patterns. The application drew a polygon with the number of sides determined by a number you entered into the field. You can see it here: http://www.testalways.com/2010/07/05/find-bugs-and-patterns/ [...]

Hi Eusebiu,

This is explained at its best. I think the morale is quite clear, Bugs are there hidden as always, but what we need is vision and as you mentioned in the end “Only Linear approach to the bugfinding/defect management” doesn’t help much is very true.

Keep up the great work !! Thanks.
