Remotely access a Mac machine from windows machine



There are many tools that allow you to remotely log-in either between two Windows / two MAC machines. There are five tools that I evaluated while choosing which one is the best to
remotely access apple Mac OS X from Windows. 

  1. TeamViewer
  2. LogMeIn
  3. RealVNC
  4. Vine Server
  5. Remote Management
The best tool that I thought when it comes to automation is the free version of LogMeIn. The reason being the refresh rate and the connectivity. You can write a small script that can even help you schedule tests on the remote machine!

  • LogMeIn is Free 
  • Web interface or the Firefox plugin. 
  • Easy steps 
    • First you will need to create a free account
    • Login from the Mac computer and click the Add Computer button to download the LogMeIn Installer. 
    • After installation, you can access that computer from any other computer by logging in to LogMeIn.

Software Testing @ Microsoft

In continuation from my previous  series of posts  targeting testing in top few companies from the technology space. After  Software Testing @Facebook  and @Google  we shall now look at Microsoft: Testing@Microsoft Software Development Engineers in Test (SDETs) are usually just called Test and sometimes Software Testing. SDETs are responsible for maintaining high testing and qualityassurance standards for all Microsoft products. Software Development Engineers (SDEs) are often referred to as Software Development. SDEs write the code that drives Microsoft products and upgrades. Very few teams in Microsoft are still using SDETs to do significant amount of manual testing. Manual testing is mainly outsourced. Actually, as early as in 2004, for example, most of the manual testing of MSN Explorer was outsourced. Think about it this way: it just doesn't make sense for test manager to spend their headcount (SDETs) on something can be easily outsourced.  Until 2005, Microso

Trim / Remove spaces in Xpath?

Image
If you are wondering how you can trim the spaces in your xpath, this is how: The normalize-space function strips leading and trailing white-space from a string, replaces sequences of white-space characters by a single space, and returns the resulting string. Example : Which one is better? //td[starts-with(normalize-space(),'Text to Trim')] //td[starts-with(normalize-space(text()),' Text to Trim ')] The second option is better as it targets at the specific nodes More string functions in XPATH: Functions Description starts-with( string1 ,  string2 ) Returns true if the first string starts with the second string. contains( string1 ,  string2 ) Returns true if the first string contains the second string. substring( string offset length ) Returns a section of the string. The section starts at  offset (which is a number), and is as long as the value provided at  length. substring-before( string1 ,  string2 ) Returns the part of  string1  up unti
