I have been offered a Ferrari

Not for real :) I had a fun conversation with a recruiter on LinkedIn and jotting it down here. I have masked/removed the sensitive data -

Hi Tarun, I lead the Tech division in XYZ - I'm pretty active in the XYZ tech scene so I wanted to introduce myself. Out of curiosity, how are things going in XYZ? Could a new job get your attention somehow...? (For example, a free Ferrari) I can't promise a new Ferrari (maybe a Porsche?) but I would like to know what will grab your attention (such as more responsibility or a salary increase). Then, I can keep your goals in mind and tell you about relevant opportunities. How does that sound? If now isn't the right time to move that's also okay. I'd still like to chat to you so that when you are ready, we've already gotten the introductions out of the way. :) Look forward to hearing from you!
Hi XYZ, Finally some one recognized that I deserve a Ferrari :) Things are great at XYZ. We keep growing each year which also means more responsibility. Money does matter though only to a limit and after that it may matter only if it can buy a Ferrari :) Dynamic nature of IT may require XYZ XYZ XYZ. Thanks Tarun K

Verify email confirmation using Selenium

Note: If you are new to java and selenium then start with selenium java training videos . Email confirmation seems to be integral part of any registration process. I came across an application which lets you provide your email address. You can follow the sign up link in you mail and then complete the registration process. Lets consider we provide GMail address for it. Now if were to use only Selenium then we would have to follow following steps - Launch GMail using Selenium; Some how search for new mail in the list of available mails; Some how click on it; Parse the mail message; Get the registration link; Follow up with registration process What do you think of an approach in which you can

Distributed Load Testing with JMeter

Distributed Testing with JMeter When one JMeter client is not able to offer amount of threads required for load testing then distributed testing is used. In distributed testing - One instance of JMeter client can control number of JMeter instances and collect data from them Test plan does not need to be copied to each server, the client sends it to all servers note - JMeter will run all the threads on all the servers, hence 100 threads on 5 JMeter server would pump 500 threads in total. If many server instances are used, the client JMeter can become overloaded and so the client network connection. This has been improved in latest versions of JMeter by switching to Stripped modes, but you should always check that your client is not overloaded When Client (master) and Server (slave) nodes are on same network (no SSH required) Configure Client Node Herein client is referred as the machine controlling test execution on other JMeter nodes. This is also referred
