installing linux

Well i have installed linux servers before too, many. but this time the app requests are different. Esp the one with the remote desktop, got bored with vncviewer, wanted to installed something new. Found FreeNX for linux, wierd, yeh, as i have to open up a session id on localhost using the freenx client app, and then open up the same session id from my PC. Also facing issues with the serial console opening up for linux, centos.  I am just wishing these problems dont linger for long, so as to push me to go back to Windows PC.

A new entry in Testing dictionary - DRIVE TESTING

Oh Well, was reading an LTE forum discussions and bumped upon Drive Testing. Initial thought was is there something like that. Is the person sane in writing what he really means to write. Then i browsed through some more discussions on same topic and that cleared up my mind.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drive_testing

Drive testing is a method of measuring and assessing the coverage, capacity and Quality of Service (QoS) of a mobile radio network


Read through wiki link to get to know more about it. As a simple test Engr and not on the Customer side, we may not do Drive testing but its always good to know.

My current assignment

I am working on automation using OOPs and references with Perl. Exciting as I am getting to know more and better Perl coding standards. Using two design patterns, facade design pattern and Adapter design pattern. Interesting enough i always wanted to read about the design patterns and here I go. I am now using the design pattern to actually implement my new framework development for DPI feature.  Guess that I might have used few other design patterns in my earlier projects not knowing the names of it. But well when you know what you are doing, things are much more exciting and interesting.
No more regression since last 4months. So much relieved. Its more of debugging or writing code now. And may be helping out in the SCM.

Its Strange I am back to square one again

Huh! I wished never to return back to the regression testing again, after my tryst with Alcatel project making stable regression and making test suites. But well history repeats. I am back to a similar profile job but with new technology of 4G. Learning is key here and I am definitely prepared to perform above expectations. I wish I have time from my debugging and troubleshooting to spend time on technology reads and doc preparations. I wonder why this document preparation is such an effort when u really wish to do it but time doesn't allow you to.

which is better !!

The data driven test framework or the test-driven test framework. Ofcourse I am in the middle of the the project. There is some framework code present and there is going to be development of new ones. Its not easy to decide which way to go - but Data driven surely looks much appeasing.
FYI,
Data Driven approach for test framework
Test driven approach for test framework

Any other suggestions are welcome!
