Badboy for Web Testing

Yes, the name is Badboy, as in "This Badboy can go up from 0 to 60 in 6 seconds flat!" But this is not a car! This is a Web UI testing/verification tool!!! I've been using it for over a month on one of my projects at my company and, so far it's working out quite well. It's also ironic that in this case, I can easily record and play back most of the stuff that I've tested. I've made relatively few manual changes from the record playback.

Version 1.6 final just came out recently. Check it out and see if you guys like it! :)

Best part about this tool...it's FREE to very low cost ($40 for a single license, which is enough for my use...)!!!

(Disclaimer: I do not work for Badboy nor do I have any affiliations with Badboy! Just a very happy customer so far...) :-)

Testing Bronze Moves on June 3rd...

Hopefully, third time's the charm!!! But I don't know... I have some concerns over some of the moves I've been working on for the test still. I hope those things will work itself out by the time I take the test.

Secondary coach seems ready to get me to focus on taking the test. Primary coach is VERY confident that this time I would pass it and has asked me to start thinking of what I want to work on during the summer. (Obvious choice would be the Bronze FS test, of course.) ;-) I hope that Debbie S's recent passing of her Bronze Moves test is good luck for me. :-)
