navigation bar

A good testing of the software... test the one that lays out the page. Where do you get the Nav class in the german wikiversity?--Rayc 01:01, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi Rayc, the navigation bar was made by Exxu. He is a very helpful guy. And also other people here, because the navigation bar works now. you can see the template here, if you would like to use it. --Erkan Yilmaz 08:32, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Actually I made a mistake: it was done by ManWing2. Since ManWing2 did not do much in the course, I actually blacked him out :-( So, please adress to him for issues regarding the navigation. --Erkan Yilmaz 08:46, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

story: princess and the frogs

background info: the intention behind this story

Hi,
The reason for the story is, to show: we can test everything and I use the fairy tales, because (probably) many people know it and if not, there is a similar fairy tale probably in the culture available. It should also show, that things, which we see as obvious (like stories which we heard in our past as children) can be viewed from different points, which is also one important thing for testing.
About the story "princess and the frogs": this was not selected by me - it was selected by another tutor. Actually I like another story from below (guess which one :-) ). But the advantage of this story is: there are aleady comments available, which can guide people for their answers.

This would be the other stories:
Hansel + Gretel
the kings meals
Snow White
also other stories with fairy tales are planned (e.g. Rapunzel)

BTW: the "new" versions of the stories is from me (not the stories itself, they are from e.g. Brothers Grimm). So, I guess I am not harming any copyright here. And if so, I will adapt the stories. --Erkan Yilmaz 14:20, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

How much testing would you like?

Thanks for this course. I worked many years as a system test manager. I was often pressured by management who continued to ask "why does the testing take so long?" or "when will the testing be done?" or "Everything is done except for the testing, so get going" , etc. It took me many years, but I finally figured out what the problem was. I began to ask people "How much testing would you like? and things turned around fast! The insight is this, it helps to be clear what the risks are, who is assessing those risks, how are those risks communicated, and who is assuming the risks. The major risks are: 1) launching with unacceptable bugs, and 2) Delaying the launch unnecessarily. The system test organization can report on the scope of testing performed, the bugs found, and functions not yet tested. None of this is a risk assessment. By being clear who is taking the risk by asking "How much testing would you like?" the conversation quickly shifts to productive topics. I hope this helps. Thanks! --Lbeaumont (discuss • contribs) 21:19, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
