What's New!
September 12, 2008
Well after unplugging for a month I am finally caught back up at work and starting to wrap up some personal projects that have been on the back burner.
I still need a few more tools developers to help with the community project for a random ID number generator.
NEW! Phony Phone telephone number generator! I am almost done with a tool to generate random telephone numbers. Currently the beta only produces telephone numbers for North America (except some Mexican city formats), but the final tool will generate valid and invalid telephone numbers for North America, Europe, Oceana, Africa, and Asia. Of course, there is a dynamic link library for use in test automation. The DLL outputs either a formatted string or an array of numbers in the typical grouping for the indicated locale.
And my new Software Test Automation certificate program at the University of Washington Extension kicks off on September 30th and the fall program is full, and we are considering another session during the winter season for those interested.
Test developer's wanted for a community project!
Developing test data generation tools to help testers is a hobby of mine. I previously developed a tool for generating US Social Security and Canadian Social Insurance numbers. Now, I am looking for other test developers to help with a community project and develop a more comprehensive world-wide social insurance number generator in C#. The new ID Fabricator tool will not only generate social insurance numbers for the US and Canada, but I hope to be able to release a tool that will generate valid and invalid social insurance numbers from around the world. I already have classes for Ireland, United Kingdom, and Iceland social insurance numbers, and am looking for C# test developers to write classes for other countries. If you are interested in helping with this community project please send me mail noting the country's social insurance number class you are interested in developing.
