iMacros is an extension for the Mozilla Firefox web browsers and Internet Explorer which adds record and replay functionality similar to that found in web testing and form filler software.
While Grace Hopper was working on the Harvard Mark II Computer at Harvard University, her associates discovered a moth stuck in a relay and thereby impeding operation, whereupon she remarked that they were "debugging" the system. Though the term computer bug cannot be definitively attributed to Admiral Hopper, she did bring the term into popularity. The remains of the moth can be found in the group's log book at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C..[1]
Fuzz testing or 'fuzzing' is a software testing technique that provides random data ("fuzz") to the inputs of a program. If the program fails, the defects can be noted. The great advantage of fuzz testing is that the test design is extremely simple, and free of preconceptions about system behavior.
- "Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of intelligent effort." -- John Ruskin
- "An effective way to test code is to exercise it at its natural boundaries." -- Brian Kernighan
- "Program testing can be used to show the presence of bugs, but never to show their absence!" -- Edsger Dijkstra
- "Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it." -- Donald Knuth
- "As devloper thinks ,"A" should happens. Tester should think "A" should happens without "B" where "A" is requirement "B" is flaw" -- Vignesan Devarajan
- "A relatively small number of causes will typically produce a large majority of the problems or defects (80/20 Rule)." -- Pareto principle
- "Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow." -- Linus's Law according to Eric S. Raymond
- " A good way to find bug is to follow the bug. " [shil miravels group]
