Setting up test environment .... what is involved??

rbg
Hi

We have completed the development phase and need to deploy the app to
the test environment. Needed to know what all things are involved in
setting up the test environment.
the application consists of Serviced Components and ASP.NET 2.0
pages/code and SQL 2005 database.
I think i would need the following:

Need to install the Serviced components on the test server
Copy over the ASP.NET pages and the precompiled Code behind.
However I should use the existing database server setup in the test
environment. I think it is a bad idea to backup the DEV database and
restore it to the TEST database, since it would already contain the
data that is supposed to get populated after you run the application
and play around with it right???

Why wouldn't your unit tests remove the specified test data
prior to starting the test. I don't see anything wrong
with restoring your dev database to test.

I need some advice. How do you set up a test environment, with every possible browser? My past experience is that once you install a new version, the old version my not necessarily behave the same as it used to. And, upgrading is easy but downgrading is nearly impossible. Apart from having one machine per browser, how can I manage this? What are the sources for downloading the various browsers?

Hallo, I have promised Jay B yesterday to do some tests. The subject was a string evaluation that Jon had send in. Jay B was in doubt what was better because there was a discussion in the C# newsgroup on 25 September. The regular expressions where in that newsgroup too involved. I told yesterday night, to Jay that I would test all 4 methods and the stupid method I was thinking of the first time that night when I saw Jon's

Hi, I previously asked for suggestions on teaching testing in C++. Based on some of the replies I received I decided that best way to proceed would be to teach the students how they might write their own unit test framework, and then in a lab session see if I can get them to write their own. To give them an example I've created the following UTF class (with a simple test program following). I would welcome and suggestions on how anybody...

Unit testing is an integral component of both "formal" and "agile" models of development. Alas, it involves a significant amount of tedious labor. There are test automation tools out there but from what limited exposure I've had, they are pricey, reasonably buggy, and require compiler/target adaptation. Out of my frustration with two out of two of them came my own. Its instrumentation approach is based solely on profound abuse of the C

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
