What is the difference between integration testing and functional testing? [closed]

by

Integration testing is when you test more than one component and how they function together.

When should I use Debug.Assert()?

by

In Debugging Microsoft .NET 2.0 Applications John Robbins has a big section on assertions. His main points are: Assert liberally. You can never have too many assertions.

A well-written assertion can tell you not just what happened and … Read more

This tells Firefox not to popup an authentication box if the username and password are less than 255 characters. You can now use http://user:pass@domain.com to authenticate. For Internet … Read more

How to explain sorting (numerical, lexicographical and collation) with examples to non technical testers?

Here are some explanations: Lexicographical In this case, you sort text without considering numbers. In fact, numbers are just “letters”, they have no numeric combined meaning. This means that the text “ABC123” is sorted as the letters A, B, C, 1, 2 and 3, not as A, B, C and then the number 123. This … Read more

How do I control the order of execution of tests in Maven?

However it isn’t a good idea to have dependent tests. Unit tests … Read more
