Soap UI is clunky and hard to use and lack web services features that are required  for serious web services testing. SoapUI requires significant coding for building/maintaining test cases and suites. SoapSonar on other hand is code free, far more feature rich and cover web services ,SOAP and XML testing and WS-* standards extensively. I [...]

Cloud Computing
Cloud computing is general term used for any thing that involves delivering hosted services over the internet. These services are broadly divided into three categories

Software-as-a-Service (SaaS).
Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS).
Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS).

Cloud has three distinct characteristics that differentiate it from traditional hosting. It is sold on demand, typically by the minute or hour, it is elastic –a user can [...]

Background
DCOM and CORBA traditionally achieved what web services are now offering but with an exception to interoperability which they later provide in true sense.In addition ,COM+,DCOM (Distributed component object model) implementation from Microsoft were resource intensive and were native to specific Microsoft OS flavor.In other words,consumer and provider were mandated to be on the same [...]

Agile project management takes the ideas from Agile software development and applies them to project management. Agile methodologies generally promote a project management process that encourages stakeholder involvement, feedback, objective metrics and effective controls. Mindblaze Technologies emphasized on Agile Project Management Principles.

Picking a Project Management Methodology:
A short study from Vertebrae on choosing between an [...]

The Software Testing Life Cycle is an integral component of the Software development Life Cycle (SDLC) practiced at Mindblaze Technologies.No software is released to the customer without comprehensive testing during the entire course of the project based on agile software development methodology. Our testing culture is based on the following principles and practices:
• Conversational Test [...]

What is a White Box Testing Strategy?
White box testing strategy deals with the internal logic and structure of the code. White box
testing is also called as glass, structural, open box or clear box testing. The tests written
based on the white box testing strategy incorporate coverage of the code written, branches,
paths, statements and internal logic of [...]

Introduction
The following is a quick checklist to verify that all possible test cases are identified during test
plan/test case preparation.
The objective of this checklist is to provide a guideline in preparing test cases
Item for identifying more test cases
1. For each input to the system identify valid values
● Identify file inputs
● Identify user data inputs.
● Identify system [...]

Almost all software components expose their interfaces through web services for SOAP & XML matching. As an example the Amazon Elastic cloud (EC2) extends the web services interface notion beyond software components to provisioning Linux hardware instances on demand. The Amazon EC2 provides a simple web services interface that permits users to configure Linux servers [...]

Testing involves operation of a system or application under controlled conditions and evaluating the results. The controlled conditions should include both normal and abnormal conditions. Testing should intentionally attempt to make things go wrong to determine if things happen when they shouldn’t or things don’t happen when they should. It is oriented detective action.
Highlights of [...]

Software QA involves the entire software development PROCESS – monitoring and improving the process, making sure that any agreed-upon standards and procedures are followed, and ensuring that problems are found and dealt with. It is oriented towards ‘prevention’.
Highlights of QA Role in Requirements Analysis Phase:
1. Pro actively participate with Business Analyst in requirements gathering.
2. Help the Business [...]
