hi,
is debugging in compatibility mode in IE8 exactly the same than debugging in IE7 ?
do the websites display exactly the same ?
So I don't need IE7 for testing if I have IE8 ?
thanks
I'm trying to use dumpdata to generate JSON for a database that is sufficiently large for django to take a long, long time to output. Is there any way to dump only a subset of the fields; say, 100, for testing?
I'm using MySQL and Django 1.0.

In a week I start at my first real programming internship for a multinational company, I want to know, aside from "hard work" what can I do to prepare for this? How do I be a good new employee?
(FYI, my first assignment is to help the team with "enhancements to our test driver to automate our regression testing" on an air traffic control system written in ADA)
Does anybody have resources on multivariant email testing in Dynamics CRM?
Multivariant email being where an organization wants to segment their contacts and send separant variations of an email campaign to different segments in their organization?
I am testing some enhanced string related functions with which I am trying to use move as a way to copy strings around for faster, more efficient use without delving into pointers.
While testing a function for making a delimited string from a TStringList, I encountered a strange issue. The compiler referenced the bytes contained through the index when it was empty and when a string was added to it through move, index referenced the characters contained.
Here is a small downsized barebone code sample:-
unit UI;
interface
uses
System.SysUtils, System.Types, System.UITypes, System.Rtti, System.Classes,
System.Variants, FMX.Types, FMX.Controls, FMX.Forms, FMX.Dialogs, FMX.Layouts,
FMX.Memo;
type
TForm1 = class(TForm)
Results: TMemo;
procedure FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
end;
var
Form1: TForm1;
implementation
{$R *.fmx}
function StringListToDelimitedString
( const AStringList: TStringList; const ADelimiter: String ): String;
var
Str : String;
Temp1 : NativeInt;
Temp2 : NativeInt;
DelimiterSize : Byte;
begin
Result := ' ';
Temp1 := 0;
DelimiterSize := Length ( ADelimiter ) * 2;
for Str in AStringList do
Temp1 := Temp1 + Length ( Str );
SetLength ( Result, Temp1 );
Temp1 := 1;
for Str in AStringList do
begin
Temp2 := Length ( Str ) * 2;
// Here Index references bytes in Result
Move ( Str [1], Result [Temp1], Temp2 );
// From here the index seems to address characters instead of bytes in Result
Temp1 := Temp1 + Temp2;
Move ( ADelimiter [1], Result [Temp1], DelimiterSize );
Temp1 := Temp1 + DelimiterSize;
end;
end;
procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
var
StrList : TStringList;
Str : String;
begin
// Test 1 : StringListToDelimitedString
StrList := TStringList.Create;
Str := '';
StrList.Add ( 'Hello1' );
StrList.Add ( 'Hello2' );
StrList.Add ( 'Hello3' );
StrList.Add ( 'Hello4' );
Str := StringListToDelimitedString ( StrList, ';' );
Results.Lines.Add ( Str );
StrList.Free;
end;
end.
Please devise a solution and if possible, some explanation. Alternatives are welcome too.
I am fixing some printing (plotter) problems in our java code(windows 32).
The paper is 50 meter roll , loaded on to plotter. The paper It 36 inch "wide". I am printing image 36inch by 108 inch. When I print what is with height and width I can use?
[ FYI. The testing is done using print to file, No paper is wasted :) ]
Thanks,
Jayan
I am trying to get a website up in tomcat, and while the sample sites have worked, this website is not seeing the images in the content/images folder. Is there some configuration file that needs to be modified for them to be referenced properly?
To see what I am talking about 208.73.99.218:8080/cott/ (using IE will display the page properly in my testing, I am all about the linux)
For Testing x509 certificate.I expanded the Default Website node in IIS 7.5.When i right click there is no properties option in popup menu.How to include it?
I'm trying to put together a static html website with full navigation. In other words, I want the user to click some links and images and actually be taken to another page. I'm a developer so I know how to do this in frameworks like ASP.Net MVC and grails. However, for this particular case, I just want to quickly mock up the UI and provide simple navigation so I can do some user testing. Can anyone advice on how to do this?
Thanks,
Hi,
I need a tool which generates random JSON objects. I want to use this tool to do testing on my HTTP POST requests and use the random JSON object in it.
Any suggestions?
I have several web projects built with Symfony v1.0, but I am excited by the new features in Symfony version 1.4 (Improved security, native email support and improved performance).
How can I continue to develop my 1.0 projects but also create a testing environment for version 1.4?
For you rails programmers, what's the easiest way to keep your RDoc files up-to-date?
I know I can run rake doc:app manually, but I really don't feel like adding a manual step to the check-in process, and since we're already using cruisecontrolrb to handle deployment and testing automation, it seems like there should be an easy way to regenerate these files on check-in.
Is anyone already automating rake doc:app? And, if so, what are your suggestions?
Two questions (questions #2 and #3) did not populate in my survey for respondents. All questions, including these two, was mandatory. The question is visible in the preview and when tested (testing was completed eight times). The browser is internet explorer. The survey link is: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/3YWNTR5
This survey was used for a graduate school Capstone research project. If I could recover the answers to these questions, I would be grateful. Thank you, Jennifer Granger
Hi Everyone! I've looked around the Wordpress forums about this and didn't find anything so I thought I might try here.
If you have a staging/dev Wordpress setup used for testing new pluging and such, how do you go about migrating the data in the staging database back to the production database? Is there a "Wordpress best practices" way to do this, or am I limited to having to manually migrate tables from one database to the other?
Hi,
I'm planning to test my Linux box and I want to start in memory testing. But my problem is what should I need to test the memory in my linux box? Should I need a tool? Or there are some APIs to use to build some scripts?
Thanks
I am working on a desktop application using the Qt framework and Qt Creator IDE. I am doing my development on mac, and would like to begin testing on Windows as well. I am having trouble finding documentation on how do this. What's is the best way to develop on mac and automate windows builds of a Qt Creator project?
I need it in FlexUnit to test private methods. Is there any possibility to do this via reflection by using describeType or maybe flexUnit has some build in facility? I dislike artificial limitation that i cannot test private functions, it greatly reduces flexibility. Yes it is good design for me to test private functions, so please do not advise me to refactor my code. I do not want to break the encapsulation for the sake of unit testing.
The advantage of inversion of control is that it decouples objects from specific lookup mechanisms and implementations of the objects it depends on. As a result, more flexibility is obtained for production applications as well as for testing.
what does it mean actually ?
final Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
emailIntent.setType("image/jpeg");
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[] { "[email protected]" });
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "this is the test");
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "testing time");
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse(url));
Hi Is there a way to mock request params, what is the best approach when testing to create fake request values in order to run a test
would some thing like this work?
_context = MockRepository.GenerateStub<HttpContext>();
request = MockRepository.GenerateStub<HttpRequest>();
var collection = new NameValueCollection();
collection.Add("", "");
SetupResult.For(request.Params).Return(collection);
SetupResult.For(_context.Request).Return(request);
Hi.
Could you suggest a fast, deterministic method that is usable in practice, for testing if a large number is prime or not?
Also, I would like to know how to use non-deterministic primality tests correctly. For example, if I'm using such a method, I can be sure that a number is not prime if the output is "no", but what about the other case, when the output is "probably"? Do I have to test for primality manually in this case?
Thanks in advance.
One way of thinking about this is: if we care about the Design of the code then Easymock is the better choice as it gives feedback to you by its concept of expectations
If we care about the maintainability of tests( easier to read,write and having less brittle tests which are not affected much by change), then Mockito seems a better choice.
My question is:
- If you have used Easymock in large scale projects, do you find that your tests are harder to maintain?
- What are the limitations of Mockito( other than endo testing)
I'm developing a web app and testing on my iPhone 5 running iOS6.
The app was running as a home screen app and during use requested access to the camera roll on the phone which I allowed, this has added a toggle in settings privacy photos on the phone for my web app.
I've since abandoned this web app and deleted the home screen icon but the toggle still shows in the privacy settings, I'd like to remove this toggle but I can't seem to find a way to do so.
Can anyone help?
Hi,
I wonder if there is a way to make a copy of one db item?
e.g. I have a model
class Category(models.Model):
slug = models.CharField(max_length=200)
name = models.CharField(max_length = 200)
So if I added one item, how can i clone it 100 times for testing?
