Automated GUI testing with Dogtail
First Paragraph:
Coming in from the cold--GUI testing on Linux
If you've ever had to create automated tests for your applications' GUI, then you've generally been in luck, as there are several fine test packages to choose from--provided, of course, that you're working on Windows® and have lots of money to throw at the problem. If you're working on Linux, however, and don't have the budget of a Washington, D.C. lobbying firm, and you don't want to get locked into a closed, proprietary test architecture, then you've generally been out of luck.

Stress Testing an Apache Application Server in a Real World Environment
First Paragraph:
We've all had an experience in which the software is installed on the servers, the network is connected and the application is running. Naturally, the next step is to think, "I wonder how much traffic this system can support?" Sometimes the question lingers and sometimes it passes, but it always presents itself. So, how do we figure out how much traffic our server and application can handle? Can it handle only a few active clients or can it withstand a proper Slashdotting? To appreciate fully the challenges one faces in trying to answer these questions, we must first understand the dynamic application and how it works.

One of the best ways you can participate in the free and open source software (FOSS) revolution is by helping to test software and reporting bugs and issues to project developers to help them improve their code. Even in the wild and woolly, sometimes undisciplined approach to development that we see in FOSS projects, there are ways to test more effectively. Here are more than a dozen tips suggested by testing gurus and developers that can help you become a successful tester.
