WBS: Special Report

In the tradition of the Wednesday Bosco Siting, there’s a special post out pertaining to our feline friends, courtesy of the mental_floss blogs. They never cease to provide useful, if not interesting, information.

The general rule of thumb that the tech support agent suggested was to ensure that you have all [...]

Performance Testing with LoadRunner using QuickTest Pro

I have spent some considerable time on the phone with Mercury Tech Support regarding performance testing a Java Swing application. One approach we have successfully proven was utilizing QuickTest Pro to exercise our application while generated load through LoadRunner.

Here are some important details that I have gleaned:

A note to the Tech crowd…

If you’ve stumbled upon this site due to the insistence of Hank Bowman, I encourage you to link to the ‘Tech’ tag that I’ve available. I’ll consider creating an RSS feed solely for this category as well and I’ll attempt to start posting some more QA and tech related posts for your viewing pleasure.

As always, [...]

Texas Hold’Em [XBOX 360]

Hey — Remember that Texas Hold’Em for XBOX Live Arcade was released today. It will be free for the first 48 hours… which I think means you have to grab it by Midnight August 24th. After that — normal charges apply.

This week, we find Bosco sprawling out on the floor attempting to subdue the camera.

I present to you: “Bosco En Masse”
