Song About Test/Check Automation

We started to do [test | check] automation in our project. And here is a perfect song about it, written by Rudy Clark and released in 1962. The video also makes perfect sense.



But its gonna take money
A whole lotta spending money
Its gonne take plenty of money
To do it right child

Its gonna take time
A whole lot of precious time
Its gonna take patience and time, ummm
To do it, to do it, to do it, to do it, to do it,
To do it right child

Learn to use browsers' DevTools

Nowadays almost every browser has DevTools, which makes web testing way more easier. But, unfortunately not all testers are using it: some of them just don't know that DevTool exists, some of them don't know capabilities of DevTools, some of them don't know how to use it.

So I want to recommend a great CodeSchool tutorial about Chrome DevTools. It is very clear and simple and you can not just learn theory there, but do some real excercises. The great part is that DevTools of different browsers are very similar (especially Chrome and FireFox), so if you learn to use one you can easily use the other too.

Also I want to recommend a video Secrets of the Chrome Developer Tools from Oredev Conference, where Patrick Dubroy from Google Chromium team talks about some advanced stuff that you can do with Chrome DevTool.
