Mind Map: Tools for Testers

By Prashant Hegde | Dec 1, 2015December 27, 2017 | Test Methods & Metrics

With this edition of LogiGear Magazine, we introduce a new feature, Mind Map.

A mind map is a diagram, usually devoted to a single concept, used to visually organize related information, often in a hierarchical or interconnected, web-like fashion.

This edition’s mind map, created by Sudhamshu Rao, focuses on tools that are available to help you in your testing.

The original map, as well as its downloadable source code (which can be managed in a mind-mapping application, such as XMind), is available from TestInsane.com.

One of the most dreaded kinds of bugs are the ones caused by fixes of other bugs or by code changes due to feature requests. I like to call these the ‘bonus bugs,’ since they come on top on the bug load you already have to deal with. Bonus bugs are the major rationale for ...

TestArchitect Corner: Capture Screens of Application Under Test during Automation Execution

Trying to understand why fails, errors, or warnings occur in your automated tests can be quite frustrating. TestArchitect relieves this pain. Debugging blindly can be tedious work—especially when your test tool does most of its work through the user interface (UI). Moreover, bugs can sometimes be hard to replicate when single-stepping through a test procedure. ...
