test suite use WsdlProject.addNewTestSuite().

Adding a test suite to a project,

test case to test suite and

test step to test case is done by using addNew... methods

**** To get all the methods of a class **

testRunner.testCase.testSuite.project.metaClass.methods.each { log.info it }

******** To list testcase name in a testsuite and WSDL teststep name in each testcase

Apache Chainsaw and log4j log file monitor

2011-10-14T21:50:00.002+05:30

I started using Apache Chainsaw and its really cool !! ..

You just need 10 mins to make a setup and you are ready to watch your log files ..

Try the latest developer snapshot of Chainsaw, available here: http://people.apache.org/~sdeboy

There is a tutorial available from the help menu which describes basic functionality. Any events displayed in a table (even when filters are applied) can be saved off in xml format via the file-save menu. The tutorial describes the expression syntax you use to filter, colorize or search for events. By the way, the 'marker' column is editable (and any notes entered are saved off when you save the events).

Right-click in the table and go through the menus to discover more of what Chainsaw can do (or read the release notes available from the help menu).

Data..Data..Data...and its more than "just" Data : Arcturus

2010-10-22T14:15:00.004+05:30

We often speak of data as if it is the ends rather than the means. But the raw data often isn’t much help. We need intelligence, by which I mean insights derived from the data source. Or sources. To make data usable, we need to make sense of it. Which means sorting it, visualizing it, comparing it to predictive or historical models, and – increasingly – recombining it with other data.

Arcturus
Arcturus mines web traffic – as well as some third party data sources like Delicious and Twitter, but more on that in a bit – for insight, which we capture and will sell to our clients. Who can then turn around and use this quantitative insight to cater better to what developers actually want. Neat, huh?

ready – fire – aim

2010-10-08T21:26:00.002+05:30

I always think "Failing to plan is planning to fail". But after several too much planning, I felt like it is also bad to do over-planning.

Analysis paralysis - I think I do have this syndrome.

Planning is just as important and necessary as taking action, but moderating the two is essential for getting success in your life. Because all your opportunities and moments will NOT wait for you(r) (over planning).

If you want to lose weight for example, the best books and blogs on healthy living, dieting, and losing weight won’t help a bit if you sit reading them instead of exercising. Use the blogs to help inspire, motivate and encourage when you need it. Your planning must have a transition into action – and you need to know when planning isn’t really the answer to your problems.

Most of the time, we (I) sit and think without ever starting with ways to take action.

When there’s too many choices sometimes you can just shut down. Over thinking your problems makes you get too far ahead of yourself. You think only of the big picture, not how to get there.

Just decide "What’s the worst that can happen?"

Learning as you go so it means you have taken action and that you’re closer to your goals than when you were stuck planning.Remember that you can always improve, set a deadline for your work, and after that move on."I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand" - So apply your thinking and NOT just acquire it.

Every successful person has the ability to know when to stop collecting information and start taking action.

Thoughts for Good Living !!

2010-08-27T13:29:00.002+05:30

Let me first admit
I copied this from My Dr friend Bruno !

Health:
1. Drink plenty of water.
2. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar.
3. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants...
4. Live with the 3 E's -- Energy, Enthusiasm and Empathy.
5. Make time to pray.
6. Play more games.
7. Read more books than you did in 2009.
8. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day.
9. Sleep for 7 hours.
10. Take a 10-30 minutes walk daily. And while you walk, smile.

Personality:
11. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
12 Don't have negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.
13. Don't over do. Keep your limits.
14. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
15. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip.
16. Dream more while you are awake..
17. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
18. Forget issues of the past. Don't remind your partner with His/her mistakes of the past. That will ruin your present happiness.
19. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Don't hate others.
20. Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present.
21. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
22. Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.
23. Smile and laugh more.
24. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree....

Society:
25. Call your family often.
26. Each day give something good to others.
27. Forgive everyone for everything.
28. Spend time w/ people over the age of 70 & under the age of 6.
29.. Try to make at least three people smile each day.
30. What other people think of you is none of your business.
31. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.

Life:
32. Do the right thing!
33. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.
34. GOD heals everything.
35. However good or bad a situation is, it will change..
36. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up..
37. The best is yet to come.
38. When you awake alive in the morning, thank GOD for it.
39. Your Inner most is always happy. So, be happy.

Measurement's in Software Project

2010-08-12T14:26:00.002+05:30

Most of the times in my job, when am asked about status, I always wonder what do they do with 'just' numbers ?

Subjectivity of measurement is the more common discussion among engineers and testers, but in practice, this is often much easier to manage than the challenges of construct validity and side-effects.

Measurement can be useful if you understand:

* what you are trying to measure (the attribute being measured)

* why you are trying to measure it

* how your measurement relates back to the attribute you are trying to measure (construct validity)

* how the act of measurement and the interpretations of the measurements will affect the measured attribute and the other behaviors in the organization being measured (side effects of measurement), and

* how reliable the measurement is

then you might do more good than harm by using the measurement.

Question: How often do you see these questions discussed in discussions of measurement?

Rajni - Sivaji - The BOSS - Music Review

2007-04-03T16:21:00.000+05:30

First of all I would like to tell you all that I'm also BIG fan of Rajni.

I heard the album for more than 10 times.

Here is my fav list.

1) Athiradee -- I think some tracks from "new" movie as well

2)Vaaji Vaaji -- Hariharan, Madhushree , Chorus -- I didnt like Gal voice here.. This song like "Indiyan" song "Telephone mani " pol

3)Balleilakka - Kaaveri Aarum - I liked only Chorus voice very much .. First part .. Really too good. Balleilakka means what ? ..

4) Sahara Pookal - Vijay Yesudas,Gomathi Sree,Chorus -- Here .. the tiruvembavai reminded me something similar to "BABA" one song..

5) Sahana Charal -- Udit Narayanan , Chinmayi -- Should have opted for some tamil singer and my fav. singer -- Shreya goshal here.

6) Oru Koodai Sunlight - I think something similar to "Remo" song in anniyan these people might have tried for this .. Lets wait and see , until this will be last in my list.

Sun Opens Java

2006-11-14T09:33:00.000+05:30

For the past 11 years, Java technology has enabled developers to Write Once, Run Anywhere. Sun's commitment to compatibility and choice has made Java the most widely deployed application platform. Java technology is currently used on more than 4 billion devices worldwide, and the Java ME platform ships on more than eight of every 10 mobile handsets.

Sun believes Java technology has reached the right level of maturity, adoption, and innovation—with widespread use across enterprises and devices—to move into the next stage of its evolution. In the largest single contribution under the GNU GPL, Sun is releasing all of its key Java implementations under this widely respected free-software license:

Open-Source Java SE:
Today Sun is releasing the source code for the Java HotSpot virtual machine, the Java programming language compiler (javac), and JavaHelp online help software. Release of a fully buildable Java SE Development Kit (JDK) based nearly entirely on open-source code is expected in the first half of 2007.

Open-Source Java ME:
Sun is first releasing the source code for Sun's Java ME Feature Phone implementation based on Connected Limited Device Configuration (CLDC), which currently enables rich mobile data services in more than 1.5 billion handsets, and the source code for the Java ME testing and compatibility kit (TCK) framework. Later this year, Sun will release additional source code for the Advanced Operating System Phone implementation for based on the Connected Device Configuration (CDC) specification and the framework for the Java Device Test Suite.

New Developer Communities: Tapping its experience in building dynamic and transparent open-source communities, Sun is launching the OpenJDK Community and the Mobile & Embedded Community to support developer participation in evolving the open-source JDK and open-source Java ME implementations respectively.

Zune

2006-11-13T17:20:00.000+05:30

The iPod has a new enemy in town, with an official release date of Nov. 14 in the USA and a $249.99 price tag. The Microsoft Zune opens a new market of "social" music connectivity.

Display: The key feature on the Zune is really the LCD display. It's actually 44% larger than a video iPod screen. It's large enough to watch a music video, or movie and actually see the expressions on peoples faces. The pixel density is about double that of modern laptops, so it's more like watching a mini HDTV than a mini television. The refresh rate is also higher than a television, which means the frames move extremely fast to make the motion appear fluid rather than jaggy or digitized.

User Interface: The user interface is the second most important feature (after the display) for making the Zune stand out. The large center button can be pushed in 4 directions (left, right , up, down) or pressed straight down. Anyone who can use a web browser can operate the Zune. Pressing the button is similar to clicking a mouse button, it takes you to whatever item is selected, and just like a web browser there is always a back button available. The layout is really minimalist, we observed many people at the LA preview picking up and using the device for the first time without asking any questions or looking for instructions. The menus have a sleek animation from one screen to another that gives the Zune a modern edgy feel, and personalized background pictures stay visible during navigation.

Sound: The sound quality of the device is 100% dependent on the headphones used, not so much the player. The standard ear buds are exactly that, standard. They look great, and sound as good as any earbuds on the market, but to get the most out of the player consider upgrading. We actually don't recommend the Zune Premium Earphones either unless you are limited for space. If sound quality is a must, consider blowing $300 on some nice headphones with active noise canceling.

Conclusion: Based on features, Zune is the premiere player available on the market today. It has already pressured other manufacturers to drop their prices in an attempt to remain competitive. Expect to see the mp3 category heat up over the next few years as the competition scrambles to add larger screens and Wi-Fi connectivity. The mp3 player is the first Zune branded device to be released, expect to see more Zune products in the future including the Zunephone and Zunegamer among others.

How-To Become The Person Of Your Dreams

2006-11-07T20:22:00.000+05:30

What would you like to be when you grow up? [most of us are alreay grown up:) ]

I bet you often heard this question asked many times when you were still young from your parents and relatives.

But, have you really given that question some deep thoughts?

Tip #1.
Learn as much as possible about the person you aspire to be. Let's say your dream is to become a basketball player.

Tip #2.
You must have the Desire and Passion to know everything you can about the subject. If you can have a real person to imitate or look up to, the better.

Tip #3.
Take Motivated Action and start pursuing your dreams!

Tip #4.
Persist until the VERY end.

hm.. Lemme think for some time to know " What I want to be " ?

I want to lead my life like :
6Oclock-Wakeup,6-8 Gym 8-10 getting into office 7-8PM read for job 8-9PM family 9-10PM read for you.

When this will happen in my life ????? any tips for me ?

Sudoku -- Its only for people who MAD about it

2006-07-30T20:22:00.000+05:30

Must say Sudoku is going places…places that you cannot even think it can go.

All sudoku addicts have a reason to smile as from now onwards they won’t have to take their newspaper in the toilet, for now their favorite game will be right their inside the toilet, 24X7.

Check this pic. You can order one roll for £4.99

LADIES, ZAGAR IS AVAILABLE.

2006-07-27T10:25:00.000+05:30

I read about a blog sometime before ..

Videos on the site follow the the Crocodile Dundee-like, fish-out-of-water antics that come with cultural transplantation. Some of its funny. Some of its lame. The site has all the usual wallpapers, AIM icons and downloads and there's also a Flickr page and the very bloggy blog written by Steve which has all the required bloggy blog bells and whistles.

A funny stuff .. read more below some contents from that blog .

"So online dating… I’ll admit I used to think it was a little strange, but it’s getting more popular. So I thought, what better way to get Zagar out into the dating scene? Signed him up for a profile on Match.com. Got him all set up.
Check him out and tell all your single lady friends… He’s a freaking Chieftain for god sakes. Who’s not going to jump on that? "

Here is the blog " http://zagarandsteve.typepad.com/zagar_and_steve/" to follow more :)

FIFA worldcup 2010

2006-07-27T10:20:00.000+05:30

With the World Cup barely over, Russian agency Park has created an identity (unofficial) for the next World Cup to be held in South Africa in 2010. The identity wraps itself in the "speed, power and stamina" of the leopard, the symbol of South Africa. And yes, there is a specially designed football bra to hold round objects of a different sort. You can see the campaign identity here.

Needless to say you can look at this as well -->

Anxiety

2006-07-25T20:45:00.000+05:30

Whats the difference between "fear - anxiety" .Is this called as "nervousness" ? The word "anxiety" is derived from the word, "Angst" which means anguish or pain. Anxiety is the mental anguish or mental pain.

Do you habitually experience the following?
Restlessness
being easily fatigued
difficulty concentrating or mind going blank
irritability
muscle tension
sleep disturbance (difficulty falling or staying asleep, or restless unsatisfying sleep)

According to me , Uncontrollable obsessive thoughts are the cause of this anxiety. Dont think too much about something that cannt be solved only by you.

RELAX ... RELAX ... COOL ... is the mandra for eliminating "anxiety"

Great Expectations, Great Disappointments

2006-07-24T18:51:00.000+05:30

:) . I know people will start smiling by reading the topic heading. But people whom I speak with for some years would have already hearded this from me several times.

This has been on my mind for the longest time -- I used to recall it everyday, as a reminder that expectations can destroy one's life as much as a lack of it. I have it memorised, and it sounds so good to me that I sometimes say it out loud without noticing it, even while riding on public transportation.

That, for one, is a reason why I believe I may remain a bachelor my whole life -- for in my mind, I have built up a certain lady so high that no reasonable conclusion might lead to any other place but disappointment.

The ( ) in My Heart

2006-07-23T18:27:00.000+05:30

I dont know ,why I'm posting this today.. But something is pushing me to do this today !

Up until now I've never had an official girlfriend. Then again, I've never had an unofficial one either.

I've also never held a girl's hand, much less kissed one -- but that's not to say that I've never thought about it, for I have, many times, just never had the opportunity. Or if I did, I didn't take it.

My love life had always been rather barren. Like a desert that requires no water but always welcomes rain,

I've lived a perfectly normal life without romance, though always harbouring a secret longing for it.

Have I ever fallen in love with any girl? Yes, of course; a few times in fact. :)

I used to say to couple of my friends "Greater the expectations , there comes greater the disappointments" !

Govt Lifts ban on the blogspot

2006-07-21T14:50:00.000+05:30

Bloggers in India can rest easy now.

Post 7/11, the Government decided to block sites without saying why and the ISPs decided to go ahead, do one better and block all blogs.

The Centre issued an order to block 22 websites after a two-page write up containing derogatory references to Islam appeared in a blog.

The Department of Telecommunciations had issued notices to all Internet service providers (ISPs) to block the two pages, but due to a technical error, ISPs blocked all blogs.

Various ISPs say they were asked to block access to a list of 20 odd websites, which these include sites like Dalitstan.org, Clickatell.com, Hinduunity.com, Princesskimberly.blogspot.com and Hinduhumanrights.org - all sites that supposedly spread extreme views.

The Department of Telecommunciations has now clarified that the error is being rectified.

Beer Opener with counter

2006-06-25T16:36:00.000+05:30

The BottleSpy is simply a bottle opener and you can probably start some beer popping game. It also reminds you that you should stop with the number shown on LCD, because you’ll know how much you need to pay for the bill tonight.

Every time you open a bottle with the BottleSpy it will store and display the total number of drinks consumed to date. This is great for confirming exactly how many bottles you have managed to consume, and maybe to alert you of the fact that you need to call it a day or slow down a bit.

Need to SHUT my mouth

2006-06-22T11:21:00.000+05:30

I can not shut my mouth and let things go. I am driving everyone crazy with it.
I am sick of me. No one is disputing that I might have valid points, just that they don't want to hear them a thousand times.
I seem to think I can save people from everything by talking. Some things they don't even need to be saved from...
I just think that they do because you know I always have to be right too.

* I want to Keep my ears open and my mouth shut

* The only thing that can come out of my mouth is something I already know.

I WANT to Shut up and start learning !

Does anyone else have this problem? Any ideas how to stop?

Introduction to Ajax

2006-06-14T11:50:00.000+05:30

Hello friends ,

PLEASE ,dont start thinking this blog as a tutorial kind. NO , in no way ,I'm going to teach AJAX.

But, at the same time ,I want to tell you that this is one of the FANTASTIC things to learn in your IT life.

Do you know Java scripts , XML ? Are you interested in creating an interactive web pages ?
Have you ever seen google/ig page ? Do you have personalised MSN pages ? Yahoo pages ? Google pages ? .
At least you might be having an account in Flickr ? Gmail account ?
Do you know how those easy layout of pages with lots of stuff made ? Answer is AJAX.

Ajax, which consists of HTML, JavaScript™ technology, DHTML, and DOM, is an outstanding approach that helps you transform clunky Web interfaces into interactive Ajax applications.

Five years ago, if you didn't know XML, you were the ugly duckling whom nobody talked to. Eighteen months ago, Ruby came into the limelight and programmers who didn't know what was going on with Ruby weren't welcome at the water cooler. Today, if you want to get into the latest technology rage, Ajax is where it's at.

However, Ajax is far more than just a fad; it's a powerful approach to building Web sites and it's not nearly as hard to learn as an entire new language.
By the way, Ajax is shorthand for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (and DHTML, and so on). The phrase was coined by Jesse James Garrett of Adaptive Path (see the Resources section) and is, according to Jesse, not meant to be an acronym.

You can search in google to get more and more information about this HOT techie stuff.

Keep learning ... Keep growing

Get Sync

2006-06-13T18:49:00.000+05:30

I was using same font and color. So this post with different font and color :)

Again one more novel idea and implementation from google.

Google Browser Sync for Firefox is an extension that continuously synchronizes your browser settings – including bookmarks, history, persistent cookies, and saved passwords – across your computers. It also allows you to restore open tabs and windows across different machines and browser sessions.

Though,there are lots of online bookmark sessions are there ,this is google,which may have more lots stuff.

You can install from this link

I myself installed that in my computer and tested . This is really cool.

You have to install in your own computer and do some basic settings. You need to have a google account (gmail id) to use this . If dont have one such invitation ask me I can help you. :-)

Research shows that certain types of beans (kidney, pinto, black) are among the best sources of antioxidants, while blueberries and other berries follow close behind.

For Sale: Britney's Wedding Invite

2006-06-07T19:32:00.000+05:30

I read this in a website .. How crazy people are there in the developed nations also ?

Well, now you can buy yourself an invitation.

Over at the auction site eBay, a "Real Wedding Invitation And Candle" are on the virtual block this weekend. Bidding starts $999.99. And you would have to pay shipping costs if you won. The auction closes on Tuesday, June 6.

Spears is reportedly already fuming about her husband's friends selling stories about their private life.

Nokia Tattoo

2006-06-07T15:55:00.000+05:30

Check out this branding ad for Nokia's new Tattoo phone. The graphics are really intriguing - you quickly get the sense of connection and spreading something beautiful and affective. Still, it's subtle. If you're not looking at the television, you'd miss the entire thing. The music isn't captivating. There is no VO. And, if you're half watching, the slithery tattoos are still subtle, elusive.

Here's the counter to my counter - Nokia is looking for early adopters, people looking for the next hot thing. I think maybe they'd watch. Or, better, seek it out. And the tag and close are pretty strong.

Great product name. We walk around with these phones glued to our faces, talking about what model we're addicted to and why we love our special carrier. Portable, disposable, pricey tattoos. Nice.

A Camera That You Can Download

2006-06-05T19:15:00.000+05:30

I read about this strangeproducts site.

Linatree claims to have made the first free downloadable pinhole camera that you can print out, cut out, and assemble together. Check out their Flash animation instructions.

I remember doing something like this in elementary school,
except it didn't look anything a like a "real" camera, at least nothing this fancy and intricate.

What kind of film does this camera use?

You can use a PAN film from Ilford or Neopan 100 from Fuji.
You can also use any 35 mm film.

Linatree is actually in the business of selling signed silver art prints by famous french photographers. This downloadable camera is perhaps a great way to attract attention.

சனி கிழமை அன்று திருப்பதி படம் பார்த்தேன் .

பேரரசு போரரசு ஆகிவிட்டார் .

அஜித் பாதி ஆகிவிட்ட கதை பழசு.

சதா பாடல் காட்சிகளுக்கு மட்டும் வந்து குத்தாட்டம் போடுகிறார்.

காமெடி ஒன்றும் ரசிக்கும்படி இல்லை.

பாடல்களும் ரசிக்கும்படி இல்லை.

எவிம் எப்படிதான் இந்த படத்திற்கு ஓத்து கொண்டார்கள் ?

படம் முழுவதும் ஒரே இறைச்சல் .

தமிழ் படங்களில் இனிமேல் "ஏய்" வசனத்தை தடைசெய்ய வேண்டும்.
