How to use HttpWebRequest to send POST request to another web server
>> Monday, August 2, 2010 –
Exploratory Testing,
Testing
Yesterday we went to MySchools office. A big discussion was going on some database locking issue. It's interesting, their problem is application able to process two transaction successfully, from the third it is locking the table and execution is getting failed with timeout error. We asked to open the code, and we verified further. Finally I found the cause. Close statement is missing in the code. :-)
The Code which helped me to resolve the issue
private void OnPostInfoClick(object sender, System.EventArgs e)Read more...
{
string strId = UserId_TextBox.Text;
string strName = Name_TextBox.Text;
ASCIIEncoding encoding=new ASCIIEncoding();
string postData="userid="+strId;
postData += ("&username="+strName);
byte[] data = encoding.GetBytes(postData);
// Prepare web request...
HttpWebRequest myRequest =
(HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://localhost/MyIdentity/Default.aspx");
myRequest.Method = "POST";
myRequest.ContentType="application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
myRequest.ContentLength = data.Length;
Stream newStream=myRequest.GetRequestStream();
// Send the data.
newStream.Write(data,0,data.Length);
newStream.Close();}
Points to Remember while creating Datastore in ESXi
>> Thursday, July 22, 2010 –
ESXi,
ESXi Datastore,
VM
Few days back Shaikh and I worked on QAESXi Server installation, at that time we used all the default options. ESXi is installed and we are able to create the VM's successfully.
Today we got a Task to create a VM with 1TB space. We failed to create the VM on the above ESXi server as it is not allowing to add a disk with more than 256 GB.
Shaikh resolved the issue. He explained the issue, it was intresting. Issue is "Datastore created with Block Size of 1MB". If Block size is 1MB we cannot create a disk with more than 256GB.
Here is the combination of Block size and the Disk Space
Block Size 1MB - 256GB
Block Size 2MB - 512GB
Block Size 4MB - 1024GB
Block Size 8MB - 2048GB
As we cannot do anything, we moved all the VM's to another Server, removed existing datastore and again added with correct Block Size. Gosh, Horrible!!!
Confluence SSL Certificate Configuration
Wiki certificate was expired. Myself and Kenny worked on this. There are couple of steps to import/install the certificate.
Installing The Certificates to the Keystore:
1.Download your SSL Certificate file (your_domain_name.p7b) from your Account to the directory where your keystore was saved during the CSR creation process (the keystore will be called your_site_name.jks if you used keytool CSR command generator).
NOTE: The certificate must be installed to the same keystore that was used to generate your CSR. If you try to install it to a different keystore it will not work.
2.Type the following command to install the certificate file to your keystore:
keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias server -file your_site_name.p7b -keystore your_site_name.jks
3.You should get a confirmation stating that the "Certificate reply was installed in keystore"
4.If it asks if you want to trust the certificate. Choose y or yes.
Your keystore file (your_site_name.jks) is now ready to use on your Tomcat Server and you just need to configure your server to use it.
Configuring your SSL Connector:
Tomcat will first need an SSL Connector configured before it can accept secure connections.
1. Open the Tomcat server.xml file in a text editor (this is usually located in the conf folder of your Tomcat's home directory).
2. Find the connector that will be secured with the new keystore and uncomment it if necessary (it is usually a connector with port 443 or 8443 like the example below).
3. Specify the correct keystore filename and password in your connector configuration. When you are done your connector should look something like this:
5. Restart Service.

Browser Compatibility Testing

Browser Compatibility,
Testing
For the past few days, Mubeen and Srikanth were busy in taking the screen shots of their app and doing the functionality testing in all the popular browsers.
Everyday I hear Mubeen screaming "My eyes are burning like anything". Why the hell we have so many browsers in usage!! And If I am made a Queen, I would definitely see an end to all the browsers and bring a rule to use only a single browser.
As I too belong to the same fraternity, I completely agree to her point and stand by her statements. :-) Some times, I too feel why Is there a so much difference in the look and feel of the application and why it behaves differently in different browsers. Doing the same repetitive Job/Task in all browsers. What a Pain..! I do remember another example which was like..sometime back Ryan got an email asking compatibility of our Web application in older version of Internet Explorer(IE6) and with the deadline of 2 days.
We do not have any answer readily available as we had already upgraded to IE8 and IE 6 was under the trash as we were not using it anymore. And Gosh!! How is it possible to test app in 2 days.. :-(

If we have any tools, procedures methods readily available to automate these task would be great.
Ask Google - Googled and found few useful articles on Browser Compatibility Testing.

Estimations and Results

Estimations,
Testing
Are we doing the estimations properly? if yes why most of our guys are extending themselves or working late nights to achieve the targets? And It has other side also like team members have more time than actual time. Is this due to our failure in Estimations or due to customers ;-)
Few days back Mubeen asked me about our Estimations. Honestly I don't have any answer for few questions as we too failed many times due to many reasons which resulted/effected to my team to extend their work hours to complete their tasks. Here we cannot blame anyone as everyone is correct on their perception,
Few methods here
Wide Band Delphi - my favorite Estimation method. In this we can involve everyone, taking their opinions. Check the below link for details

Finally on Estimations: There are many techniques, methods defined by our Guru's. But the problem is we do not follow properly.
