On testing, this blog contains codes on vb.net, C# programming, lot of sql programming, automation testing experience, qtp descriptive programming, qtp vbscript related know-hows, vsts programming related to automation testing, coded ui testing the newly brought into existence automation tool to perform functional automation and a lot more stuffs on automation testing. I think this blog can effectively help those having a look around on excel vba macro hardcore programming for automating some serious database related testing that might bring down a resource count to one third of the same required with manual query execution and validating the various scenarios.

Being a hardcore technical guy I do not have much of an exposure on manual testing, but resources related to the same have as well been taken into consideration and put therein.

While you scroll across the various contents on software testing both manual and automation, by and large we can conclude to find loads of articles on the following classified category.
