Hello! MY name is Kevin. I'm an easygoing,shy guy. But when I get comfortable I can be a lot of fun. That's when I like to get to know beautiful ladies better. Love lots of foreplay. Favorites are kissing and role play. I really love to please someone who appreciates it.
No favourite stories listed.
It was an interesting story. Very arousing at times.
It is very sad that any woman has to feel afraid to go out because of asshole men. This also hurts good guys since sometimes they are lumped into the same category just because of their sex. I can't begin to imagine how this must affect you. Hope someday this changes for the better.
I think it might be harder to write from a woman's perspective. Her feelings, and little nuances could be tough to get right. Would be interesting to collaborate, though.
I vote on a story to let the author know that their work is appreciated. Sometimes, I really enjoy a story and feel the need to comment.
I've had this experience many times. Right now I have at least 5 partially written stories. If an idea comes up that you want to write about and can't let go of, then do it. Always write what gets you most excited at the time.

Formscan By Thomas Weekes - BLAZING SONNET has been particularly unlucky to have come up against well handicapped horses on each of her last few starts and while rated just 102, is possibly capable of better and has Jane Mangan claiming a valuable 7lbs. Un Beau Roman will have less supporters than on his previous two starts but cannot be dismissed completely, coming from these quarters. Tabac Brun is the only winner in the race and while he gives away plenty weight, has obvious claims. Noble Pageant can be inconsistent and still needs plenty to go his way to win while Hunting Party possibly needs to improve further to win. Angelas Money looks limited enough but takes a step down from his latest Leopardstown run.

TCR Friday Notes
- Everyone's favorite topic...lineups!!!
On days when switch hitter Aaron Miles plays second base and Kosuke Fukudome plays center field, Piniella said he likes this lineup: Soriano, Miles, Lee, Bradley, Ramirez, Fukudome, Geovany Soto and Ryan Theriot. That's a right-switch-right-switch-right-left-right-right alignment.
Armchair managers commence bitching! Between rumors of 400 AB's and now batting second, Aaron Miles has all the makings of being the new ¡Neifi! It's like no one in the Cubs organization has noticed that his likely unrepeatable .343 BABIP last season accounted for nearly all of his .753 OPS "success".
- Alex Eisenberg runs one of my favorite prospect sites - Baseball Intellect. He clearly didn't get the memo about Prospect List-mania 2009 coming out this week or he would have gotten to his top top Cubs prospects by now . Alex does do a great job of mixing minor league statistical analysis with good old-fashioned scouting, plus the frame-by-frame animations are fantastic. Check out how Jay Jackson's arm slot makes it tough to pick up his slider versus his fastball.
- An old Marquette classmate of mine has some ideas about the lot adjacent to Wrigley. Beats the Mrs. Field's Cookies and Victoria's Secret that will probably go into the mall they're going to end up building.
- Looks like some of the readers are starting up a keeper fantasy league and I think they could use a few more warm bodies.

If Kosuke rights himself, my dream lineup is
I accept that Alf=leadoff though so given that, I'd like
I think Lou will do this
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Re: TCR Friday Notes
I accept that Alf will be leadoff so my lineup looks like this:
Emanuel Lewis (he's scrappy)
Wesley from Mr. Belvedere (also scrappy)
Tina Yothers (she's really bulked up)
Kim Fields (with Yothers, one of the most powerful 4-5s in baseball history)
Richard "Boner" Stabone (decent bat but dumb as a shovel)
Rerun (plus: arm as catcher and dancing skills. minus: speed on basepath)
Todd bridges (attitude problems: think Darryl Strawberry meets Milton Bradley)
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Re: TCR Friday Notes
I refuse to accept your comment unless you propose an alternative.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Replace Emmanuel Lewis with Gary Coleman. Improve team chemistry with Todd Bridges.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Todd Bridges is our RF. Gary Coleman is too Dusty-era.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Are you kidding? Coleman is emotional person-with-the-doesn't-grow-up-disease equivalent of Milton Bradley. He's got the fiery temperament that Lou likes. Didn't he choke one of his fans? Or just punch?
Bridges is Darryl Strawberry.

Unless, of course, that's a shot at Pie..
Re: TCR Friday Notes

Please google the expression "shit happens"
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Did you forget to pack? Did you drive to the wrong airport because you forgot to print directions? Did you show up on the wrong day? Did you plan a trip to New York but then get to the airport and realize you forgot to buy a plane ticket?
I think you need to google the expression yourself.
If there was a fire in the US Embassy in Santo Domingo that destroyed the paperwork that needed to be filed, or something was lost in the mail, then I apologize, you are right, shit happens. But by far the most likely scenario is that Pie put this shit off until a week ago when he knows the process takes a while, and that he hasn't complied with all of the necessary requirements, see: http://santodomingo.usembassy.gov/atc-080324.html
Also are you Pie's dad or something? Relax man. I was only making a point that it always seemed like there was some drama with Pie and I am glad that it's now the Orioles' problem. That's all.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Or perhaps he had taken care of it...thought everything was correct, and it turns out something is different this year..lol...he is 23 yeah?
I hope Pie goes out and hits .280/.350/.440,...and just sticks it up the Cubs ass for the next 10 seasons
Re: TCR Friday Notes
If we're calling 280/350/440 sticking it in somebody's ass, then Todd Walker was one badass motherfucker.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
When Todd Walker starts playing gold glove defense and is a threat to steal 20+ bases a year, let me know.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
You let me know before you decide to randomly add parameters to the discussion at your own leisure.
Also, it was, you know, a joke. Heaven forbid I try to get one of those by you.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Not adding parameters at all... it is assumed that Pie will play great defense and steal some bases, right?
So if he hits the numbers mentioned, combined with great defense and plus base running, that will be pretty damn good.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
I don't think Wes was focused as much on equating Pie to Todd Walker as he was pointing out, in a humorous fashion, the hyperbole in calling that line "sticking it up the Cubs asses".
I think sticking it up the Cubs asses would have to involve turning in a great OBP, slugging, or stealing a bunch of bases.
But I for one would definitely regret the Pie trade if he manages that .350 OBP and a .400+ slugging percentage. I'd be furious over the trade if he managed a .500-ish slugging percentage and a .370+ OBP, though. Hence the difference between sticking it up the Cubs asses and not doing so.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Felix Pie won't be half the player Todd Walker was.
He better try and be as good as Oddibe McDowell or Corey Patterson first.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Considering that the Cubs gave their "#1 prospect" 260 at bats over 2 seasons to prove himself, and that they are perenially looking for a CF, and are trotting out Reed Johnson, who I like, but is not a long term answere in CF..along with Kosuke Fukudome, and I believe that is Japanese for Might Have been Great in Japan..
Then yes, that would be sticking it up the Cubs asses...
Re: TCR Friday Notes
As awesome as it would be to have Soto and Theriot batting 7-8, I think it's a big waste of Soto's run producing abilities to bat Fukudome in front of him. If he hits anywhere near what he did the last half of the season, Soto is going to have to work super hard to drive anybody in.
And I like the theory of limiting consecutive right handers in the order. I just hope it doesn't get to the poitn where we are playing an unproductive order simply to force managers to go to the pen more often late in the game.
is what I would prefer. Theriot fits well in the 8 spot I think because of the high OBP. Assuming our pitchers can execute their bunts, it provides a lot of oppurtunity to roll to the top with a runner in scoring position.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
I like your lineup.
IMO... With Theriot's amazing ability to dump base hits in front of the right fielder, or shoot them between the first & second baseman, I always thought he'd be perfect as a #2 hitter. I imagine a patient leadoff hitter who gets on first base often and is moved over to third by Theriot.
Of course, we have Soriano leading off... *sigh*
While I understand mixing up the lefties and righties, any of you that objects to this configuration should check out Theriot's lefty-righty splits. He's good against both, he's patient and consistent.
And fwiw, this would be my lineup:
Soriano *sigh*
I know batting Lee 5th would probably be wildly unpopular, but the thing is we're still all pretending like '05 Derrek Lee is Derrek Lee every year... and that is not the case. He's a real good hitter, don't get me wrong, but '05 was a career year and I'm willing to admit that now.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
The notion of hitting Lee 5th is certainly not unpopular with me. I have been squawking about the need to move his DP-hitting ass out of the 3-slot for almost a year now. I do think, though, that you have Soto too far down in the lineup. He should be 6th, with the Fuku/Johnson platoon 7th...
Re: TCR Friday Notes
But then you stack lefties.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
If Fukudome hits like he did in the second half of 2008, he's not going to be in the lineup, so your point is moot. If he gets himself straightened out, he's probably the best OBP guy on the team.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
I love line-ups where your 4th best hitter bats 7th.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Freaking Aaron Miles.
I submitted a request to Muskat's "Inbox" last week asking her to please stop indicating that Miles might get more playing time than Fontenot, because it was causing me mental distress.
She has not responded. =(
Re: TCR Friday Notes
I'm still in denial about Miles and Bako.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
I'm fine with Miles as a utility player, but not with the prospect of him getting 400 ABs. It also upsets me that if Fontenot, Theriot, or Aramis goes down with a serious injury, we don't have anyone to step in front of Miles and take the starting job for a while. Miles is definitely an off the bench guy, not an in the starting lineup guy.
Bako on the other hand, I just don't understand. Poor Koyie.

Re: That's a right-switch-right-switch-right-left-right-right al
If any of these three (Soriano, Bradley, Ramirez) wind up on the DL we are looking at de ja vu: The 2006 Cubs. Now THERE was a nicely balanced LRLRLR team.
How'd that work out for us?*
* Even though our third baseman drove in 119 runs, hit 38 HRs and posted a .913 OPS and we had a whole crew of scrappy L-R balanced guys at second and short and our starting catcher batted .307 .885 with 16 HR, our CF racked up 204 hits, our left fielder put up an .809 OPS and our right fielder hit 27 HRs with an OPS of .833, the 2006 Cubs managed to rank 28th out of 30 MLB teams in runs scored.
Re: That's a right-switch-right-switch-right-left-right-right al
I'm gonna have to disagree. It would take injuries to some primary position players, probably one or two of the three you noted, as well as a series of injuries to starting pitchers. I think that Harden, and one or two of Big Z, Lilly, and Dempster would have to be serious hurt. For example, let's take Soriano, Harden and Dempster out of the picture for the whole season. You'd still be able to do this:
SS Theriot
2B Fontenot
1B Lee
RF Bradley
3B Ramirez
LF Hoffpauir
C Soto
CF Fukudome/Johnson
with a rotation of
And a slightly weakened bullpen, possibly with guys like Ascanio and Hart stepping into the spots vacated by Heilman and possibly Samardzija.
That's not a 90 win team, but it could contend with the NL Central, depending on how guys like Samardzija and Heilman perform. More question marks, sure. Complete loss of the season? Not necessarily.
I think injuries Aramis, Soto, and Zambrano would be the toughest to withstand--they might necessitate trades for full-time players.
Re: That's a right-switch-right-switch-right-left-right-right al
A couple things I don't agree with. 2006 was a perfect injury storm. How many pitchers went down? Other than Maddux for half a season, the tea
had a bunch of rag arms and rooks. This was also the last year of mc fail and Hendry had a team with Nomar, Neifi, Holly, Walker, ben grieve, enrique Wilson, Cedeno, yadda yadda. And Dusty. Hendry admitedly fucked up, but mc fail put the engine in the car. Iirc, the Cards won the WS after losing a pitcher to a heart attack and Jeff Fucking Weaver. Plus La Russa and Pujols. I would not expect Hendry to get caught with his pants down like 2006 again, Navie.

Bleh... first year I haven't bought tix on ticket day. For one thing it really pisses me off how it takes hours to get in and by the time I do, the good games are gone. Yet, if I wanted, I could pay double (sometimes more) at premium tickets.com and go to any game I want. It's absurd. I'll watch the Cubs at Cincy or maybe I'll make the trip to Detroit in June. The city is shit, but Comerica is a real nice ball park.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Ryno, I as well am making 09 the first year in a long time that I'm not buying tickets. I'll see the team in Milwaukee, and a couple of the guys for the ASG, but that's it. Prices are far too high...and then there is the whole waiting room crap.
*For anyone who is a tech guru, couldn't cubs.com have a multitude of waiting rooms for each game to better streamline the process? Doesn't make much sense in waiting for a late April game behind 20,000 people that want Cubs/Sox tickets.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
My beef with the system is doesnt really let you shop for games as I dont want a seat in the upper deck or bleachers (I can get a better view on my HDTV than w/ those seats). I got in at about 10:30 and saw their was tickets for the Sox game avalable in the Outfield box seats. After putting in my ticket request I get there is only 1 ticket in row avalible, so I try to go back to another game and it wont let me. 3.5 hours and 2 other waiting room windows opened half-way throught the wait and I still have not gotten back in. You think they would give you the option of putting in a preferred game or section once you get out of the waiting room then picking games at random and then get kicked out if you cant get the seats you want.

Re: TCR Friday Notes

Throwbacks with fashionable cutouts would be a nice touch.
The next 2 games are nationally televised. I think we dominate tonight, hitting 3 HRs off Shields. Great night for KB to end HR drought facing HR prone pitcher in one of the most hitter friendly parks in the league.
If the ball didn't deflect off the pitcher's mound, the game wouldn't have ended. Montgomery did miss his location though, but if that same contact was made and went in any of direction, good chance of ground out if it doesn't get through.
If it was 1 night later, Chapman would be out there and we probably would be going to extras.
Also, If KB wasn't robbed of a HR, perhaps we would have won. We will never know. Nice play by Melky though.
The comparison isn't Chapman replacing Rondon. It's Chapman replacing Richard (hopefully) in the pen. Chapman's better.
I'm with you, Rob. You pretty much summed up how I feel about it.
Been quite the roller-coaster the past two days -- both games, plus the Chapman kerfuffel. How about a couple of nice, comfortable wins before facing Sale? Cubs should definitely wear throwbacks for that game.
The Cubs are stronger defensively than most of the teams they play. In order to capitalize on that, they have to a) put the ball in play and b) run the bases aggressively.
That said, Cabrera has a strong, accurate arm, as witnessed by his 97 outfield assists over 12 seasons--mostly left field but also a lot of center. Bryant is rarely thrown out, but I guess you have to know who's throwing the ball.
On the other hand, Pries won his first start for Iowa, only giving up two HRs in the process. This trade has got some legs yet!
KB now with 0 RBI in his last 10 games and 1 in his last 15, despite having 19 hits in his last 15 games and raising his batting average from .278 to .286 over that span.
Maybe have Zobrist hit 2 and KB hit 4?
Also -- no HR in the last 15 games -- time for a bunch. Starting tomorrow.
Down a run. Fowler on first. Nobody out. KB singles to left, Fowler makes it to third, perfect throw from Cabrera nails KB trying to stretch for 2nd.
So, instead of 1st & 3rd and no out, you have 3rd with one out. It was a perfect throw, but why take the chance with 3-4-5 hitters coming up?
Must be a Cub thing - our lefties can;t get lefties out.
Splitting hairs, but Jake's pitch was poor execution, while KB's play was a poor decision (and the 2nd time he got thrown out trying to stretch in the game). Poor execution happens. Poor decisions are preventable. Speaking of poor decisions -- Baez's steal of 3rd made absolutely no sense.
Didn't Jake cost them the game with a pitch to Frazier?
Missed the play w/Bryant. What happened?
Not a good decision by Bryant in the 9th. That may have cost them the game.
Can we un-do the Montgomery deal? Please?

[Watch] Here's What Happens When Your Side Chick Crashes Your Wedding
It's a scene out of a Tyler Perry movie.
Ladies, pour yourself a cup of tea and send your man out for a walk. Britain's sexiest export Idris Elba will be back for a third season of the Dexter-like television police procedural drama Luther. And the show is set in London, so Idris ditches the Baltimore accent he adopted for The Wire for his native English one. If that doesn't get your knickers in a twist, you should check your pulse.
The first season of Luther is available on Netflix, and season two starts airing on BBC America on September 28.

[Watch] Here's What Happens When Your Side Chick Crashes Your Wedding
It's a scene out of a Tyler Perry movie.
In a new turn of events, Lindsay Lohan is reportedly planning to plead no contest to a misdemeanor theft charge to which she originally pleaded not guilty. The charge stems from an alleged jewelry theft on January 22.
Lohan and her lawyer Shawn Holley are reportedly planning to reappear before Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Stephanie Sautner soon to enter the new plea, according to TMZ.
Recently, the troubled actress was sentenced to 120 days behind bars by Judge Sautner for violating her probation by allegedly stealing a piece of designer jewelry. Lohan was also ordered to serve over 400 hours of community service, according to ABC News, 300 of which must be fulfilled at a women's center.
The young actress hopes that with the new plea, Judge Sautner will not add any more time to her current sentence.

Page 3 of 4
A MIGHTY HEART 3 stars (R) Based on Mariane Pearl's memoir, this restrained and intelligent film feels too careful and moored to the technicalities of the situation to really deliver the emotional or insightful goods. Director Michael Winterbottom focuses on Mariane's (Angelina Jolie) determined search for her husband Daniel Pearl. The kidnapped Wall Street Journal reporter was eventually brutally murdered in Pakistan in 2002. -- Feaster
OCEAN'S THIRTEEN 4 stars (PG-13) In Steven Soderbergh's latest fizzy, flashy caper film, unflappable Danny Ocean (George Clooney) enlists his band of hipster heisters to sting scuzzy casino magnate Willie Bank (Al Pacino with a mesmerizing fake tan). Despite few emotional stakes and plot complexity that crosses the line into incoherence, Soderbergh and company's cool cleverness hits the jackpot anyway. -- Holman
PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: AT WORLD'S END 3 stars (PG-13) Jettisoning clarity of plot and character like so much ballast, the overstuffed final film in Gore Verbinski's swashbuckling trilogy lives up to its origins as a diverting theme-park ride, particularly in a pitched battle between two ships in a whirlpool and the surreal sequence of Capt. Jack Sparrow's (Johnny Depp) rescue from Davy Jones' Locker. -- Holman
RATATOUILLE 5 stars (G) Despite having a cast that's nearly half rodent, Ratatouille breaks from the Pixar formula of cute, funny action comedies about talking toys/bugs/cars/etc. for an ingenious, bittersweet culinary farce. The brilliant gags might tickle your sweet tooth, but the film also serves rich, hearty subtext about life's sensual pleasures and the necessity of personal evolution. And it looks good enough to eat. -- Holman
RESCUE DAWN 5 stars (PG-13) Werner Herzog's POW escape film feels more like his own classics of human confrontation with nature such as Aguirre, The Wrath of God and Fitzcarraldo than the usual action-movie, foreign-prison-break film. A captivating Christian Bale plays real-life German-American pilot Dieter Dengler, who was shot down over Laos and managed to make his way to freedom from a jungle POW camp. Utterly restrained and meditative, the film brings the nimble, metaphysical touch of an art-house master to an often gung-ho genre. -- Feaster
SHREK THE THIRD 2 stars Slovenly ogre Shrek (voiced by Mike Myers) shirks his royal duties by trying to enlist the only other heir, meek teen Arthur (de facto king of pop Justin Timberlake). Smug and self-congratulatory, Shrek the Third lacks the freshness and energy of its predecessors and takes perfunctory potshots at such cutting-edge topics as high school, dinner theater, hippies and vain, snobby princesses (although such voice actresses as Amy Sedaris offer amusingly ditzy turns). -- Holman
SICKO 5 stars (PG-13) Propumentarian Michael Moore thankfully tends to fade into the background in this impassioned film about America's health-care crisis. Apart from the occasional stunt, such as a trip to Cuba to highlight the advantages of nationalized health care, Moore instead lets the victims of America's bureaucracy-choked and bottom-line-minded health-care business show how adequate medical treatment has become a luxury item in this country. -- Feaster
SPIDER-MAN 3 4 stars (PG-13) In the third and most entertaining of director Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy, the darker impulses of normally sunny superhero Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) take over thanks in part to an alien parasite. Spider-Man 3 keeps the conflicts rooted in character while improving on the spectacular special effects of the earlier films. The creativity and excitement of freaky, poignant villains help take up the slack in Raimi's web. -- Holman
SURF'S UP (PG) Another CGI film about adorable penguins, except this time a "documentary" crew takes audiences behind the scenes at the Penguin Surfing World Championship, following the world's greatest penguin surfers. The tuxedoed surfer dudes are voiced by Shia LeBeouf, Jeff Bridges, Zooey Deschanel, Jon Heder, Mario Cantone and more.
TALK TO ME 4 stars (R) Kasi Lemmons' (Eve's Bayou) by-turns thoughtful and highly amusing biopicture looks at the astounding career trajectory, in both its quick rise and idiosyncratic fall, of the outspoken, charismatic 1960s ex-con turned DJ Petey Greene (Don Cheadle) -- and radio exec Dewey Hughes (Chiewetel Ejiofor) -- who gave a voice to black Americans from his Washington, D.C., radio pulpit. Cheadle is mesmerizing and Lemmons' film is a needed reminder of both the smaller voices lost in the bluster of history, and a politically resonant expression of the need to speak out, now more than ever. -- Feaster
TRANSFORMERS 3 stars (PG-13) Armageddon and Pearl Harbor director Michael Bay plays with the most expensive toys in the planet in this loud, destructive live-action version of the Hasbro properties. The plot, themes and characterization are laughable at best (except for Shia LaBeouf's ingratiating, steadying work in the leading "human" role), but the special effects extravaganza of giant robots whaling on each other is really kind of awesome. -- Holman

Long gone is the time of waterfall's strictly separated development & testing phases. Today, it's all about fast feedback, quick iterations and frequent releases at a previously unseen velocity. It requires an agile methodology to keep up with the high demands. Your team's success depends on a supporting infrastructure with the right tooling. Without any doubt, automation plays an essential role here. Our tip: Integrate test automation into your continuous integration (CI) process.
We wouldn't want you to waste precious time if you've your development environment already set up. That's why you can integrate Ranorex into any continuous integration process. Let's have a closer look at the benefits of integrating test automation into your CI system, and how you can do it:
Automated testing and continuous integration
The idea of continuous integration is to frequently promote code changes and rapidly get feedback about the impact these changes have on the application or system. Including test automation in the development cycle enables you to automatically test each incremental code change.
So basically every time a developer commits code changes to the version control system (VCS) such as Git or TFVC, a build of the application under test as well as the Ranorex test automation project is triggered in the CI system. The resulting test automation executable then runs against the application under test.
To evaluate the outcome of the automated test, the continuous integration tool examines the return value of the executable or its output text (e.g. "TEST FAILED" for failure). With Ranorex, the return value ŌĆś0′ signals the successful execution of the test script, while the return value ŌĆś-1′ signals a failure. Each team member automatically receives a notification about a finished build. This notification includes build logs as well as a test execution report.Advantages of integrating Ranorex into your CI system:
Note: You have to install Ranorex on each machine you'd like to execute Ranorex tests on. You'll need a valid license to do so. Please find more information about Ranorex licenses on our dedicated Pricing page.
Each committed change in the application under test and the test automation project should be automatically tested. In other words, every change should trigger these 3 steps:
First, you need to manually set up these steps in your CI system.1. Build the application under test
The first build step should generate an executable of your application under test. This executable should later be triggered from the Ranorex test suite project.
Thus, add a build step which will build your application under test (e.g. MSBuild build step, Ant build step, ŌĆ").
In this second step, you'll need to generate an executable to automate your application under test. To do so, add a build step (MSBuild or Visual Studio) and choose the project file (*.csproj) of your Ranorex project which should be built.3. Execute the Ranorex test suite
The third step should execute the previously created executables. Simply add an execution step triggering the *.exe file of the test automation project and define the command line arguments if needed.
The test execution should now be triggered on the same system the projects were built on. If you want to trigger the execution on another system, you need to deploy the built executables and all connected files to that system. Please make sure to execute the application under test and the Ranorex test suite in a desktop and not in a console session.Automated testing of frequent code changes
If the code of your application under test or your test automation project changes frequently, it doesn't make sense to run the entire test suite including all test cases with every build. Instead, you should run only those test cases that are affected by the changes. How? Run configurations!
You can add and edit run configurations directly in the test suite (see user guide section ŌĆśRunning a Test Suite').
You can trigger a run configuration using a command line argument. The following command line, for example, will run the test suite executable ŌĆśTestCIProject' with the run configuration (/rc) ŌĆśSmokeTest' and generate a zipped report file (/zr /zrf) ŌĆśReport.rxzlog' in the folder ŌĆś/Reports/'.
TestCIProject.exe /rc:SmokeTest /zr /zrf:Reports/Report.rxzlog
Interested in more command line arguments? You find more in the user guide section ŌĆśRunning Tests without Ranorex Studio'.Test automation report ŌĆō the importance of feedback
"No news is good news" is definitely not true for agile teams. It's important that everyone in a team ŌĆō whether it is a developer or tester ŌĆō knows about the state of the code and, thus, the outcome of the automated test run. It really couldn't be any easier: Simply add a post build action which sends a mail to your team members with the build log and the generated zipped report attached.Integrate Ranorex into a specific CI system:
You're using a specific CI tool? Whether it's Bamboo, Jenkins, HP Quality Center, TeamCity or Microsoft Test Manager ŌĆō check out the section below to find a detailed instruction on how to integrate Ranorex into your CI tool!
As you can see, it's easy to integrate Ranorex test automation in your continuous integration system. Each code change in your application under test and your test automation project will be automatically tested, which enhances transparency and enables you to find bugs faster.

The post Integrate Automated Testing into Any Continuous Integration Process appeared first on Ranorex Blog.
Multiple releases, limited resources, time pressure and a team with mixed skillsets. And itŌĆÖs your task to create flexible, maintainable automated tests, which every team member can understand and work with. The solution: get a test automation tool that supports keyword-driven testing.What is keyword-driven testing?
The keyword-driven testing approach separates the test automation implementation from the test case design. A keyword is defined for each action in the test case. Once the keyword is set, you donŌĆÖt need any programming knowledge to easily design and maintain the automated tests.What are the benefits of keyword-driven testing?
There are two ways of creating keyword-driven tests with Ranorex:
You can use both your recording and code modules in Ranorex Studio as a basis for keyword-driven testing. Simply split your automation modules and give them each a clearly understandable name. For example, you can define a set of actions, which start the system under test, as a module with the name ŌĆ£StartSUTŌĆØ. You can find detailed information on how to do so in this user guide section.
These modules now function as keywords. Once the keywords are defined, you can drag and drop the keywords needed for your test directly from the module browser into your test suite.Reuse keywords in multiple projects
Start by creating your keywords directly in a Ranorex test suite module library. You then use these keywords in multiple Ranorex projects by referencing back to this library. You can do so in two different ways:
This approach completely separates the keyword implementation from the test case design and the keyword usage.
If you want to learn more about organizing test automation projects, please read this blog post: ŌĆ£Organize a Test Automation Project with RanorexŌĆ£.Use external data in keyword-driven tests
You can make your tests even more flexible by using variables. Variables enable you to automatically retrieve external data, which youŌĆÖve saved in an Excel or CVS sheet, in your tests ŌĆō such as passwords for login actions. You can find detailed information on how to implement this type of testing in our user guide section "Data-Driven Testing".
We bet youŌĆÖre familiar with the good old Excel-spreadsheet. So why not use something you already know well in your automated tests? When using the action table in the Ranorex Recorder, you can create keyword-driven tests in a table-like workspace. It just takes a little trick to access your predefined keywords within this view: Inheritance.
Technically experienced team members can provide code-based keywords in a code module. You find detailed information on how to do so in this user guide section┬Āor this blog post.
A recording module, which is inherited from a code module, automatically derives all functionalities from its parent module. This is also true for parameters ŌĆō you can read more about this topic in the user guide section ŌĆ£User Code Actions and ParametersŌĆØ.
This can be achieved with inheritance in the recording modules ŌĆ£UserCode.csŌĆØ file:
Now, you can simply add a user code action in the action table (Add New Action -> User Code) and choose a predefined keyword. Once youŌĆÖve defined it, you can set the argument.
You can also use data-driven testing within the recording module by simply making the keyword parameters variable as explained in the user guide section "Data-Driven Testing".Conclusion
Keyword-driven test automation is a fantastic way to create flexible test cases. It enables teams┬Āwith different technical background to work on test automation projects together, while keeping test clearly structured and easily maintainable.

Conferences are always a fantastic way to meet people and exchange ideas with other test automation experts. The Test Automation Day is a major software testing conferences┬Āthat┬Āis dedicated to test automation. This year, it took place in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, on June 23rd. This inspiring conference was packed with test automation experts, software testing professionals and leading IT organizations. Not only did we get to listen to thought-provoking keynotes, but also had interesting talks at our Ranorex booth. Here are some of the most frequently asked questions at our booth:Is Ranorex just a Capture & Replay tool?
Ranorex is more than a just simple Capture & Replay tool. It┬Āis a versatile test automation software that offers a range of tools suitable for every skill level. While you donŌĆÖt need any programming skills to create and maintain your tests with the Ranorex Recorder, you can also create you automated tests manually.How can I create my automated tests without using the Ranorex Recorder?
Test automation engineers will especially love the Ranorex Spy. It is a powerful tool that enables you to obtain UI elements from your application under test. Simply open the Ranorex Spy in Ranorex Studio and track the UI elements you want to automate. You can drag these elements directly from the Ranorex Spy into the central Ranorex Object Repository. From there, you can then further drag them either into the action table, or the code editor. HereŌĆÖs where it gets interesting: usually, UI elements are used more than once in each test case. When adapting an element in the central repository, this change will be true for all occurrences of this element ŌĆō both in code and in the action table. The benefit? You donŌĆÖt have to adapt each element manually, which will save you a lot of time.http://www.ranorex.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/AutomateWithoutRecording.mp4 How does Ranorex support the collaboration between developers and domain testers?
The Ranorex Object Repository is the central point of collaboration between developers and domain testers. This central repository is used to manage UI elements. When you record a UI element with the Ranorex Recorder, or track an element with the Ranorex Spy, Ranorex will automatically create a repository element in this central repository. Thus, when changing┬Āa repository element in the Ranorex Object Repository, the changes are automatically applied both in the code and the recording module. This does not only ease team collaboration, but also test maintenance.How does Ranorex support creating and editing test automation projects in code?
If youŌĆÖre into coding, youŌĆÖll benefit from the Microsoft .NET┬Āframework and can write code in C# and VB.Net. YouŌĆÖll also love the new code editor enhancements, which have just been┬Āreleased with our┬Ālatest major software release: Ranorex 6.0. You can find further information on the new code editor features in this blog post.Does Ranorex support automated testing of mobile applications?
Ranorex enables automated testing of mobile Android and┬ĀiOS applications. You can test hybrid, native and mobile web applications. The┬Ābenefit? You can connect your mobile device to Ranorex Studio using either a USB or Wi-Fi connection. For more information on mobile test automation with Ranorex, please visit our dedicated Ranorex User Guide section.
At the end of this blog post, we just couldn't┬Āresist letting you in on this hilarious incident that occurred at the Test Automation Day this year. Unaware of what was about to happen, weŌĆÖre busy talking to prospective clients at our Ranorex booth, when a woman came up to us and asked: ŌĆ£May I touch your balls?ŌĆØ. We'll leave it up to you to imagine the look on our faces!

Writing code is tricky enough. You shouldnŌĆÖt have to spend hours improving its┬Āreadability or worry about unnecessary typos causing build errors. Ranorex 6.0 now makes a ton new code editor enhancements available, which will help you quickly┬Āwrite clean and easily maintainable test scripts. Here're 7 of the most fantastic time-saving features:1. Code templates
We all love the custom code templates in Ranorex Studio. Using the tab key, you can now access multiple predefined templates, such as the for/for each loop. Icing on the cake for all us┬Ācoders!http://www.ranorex.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Code-Templates.mp4 2. Context specific actions
Improve your code structure with these amazing new context specific actions. Simply move┬Ānewly created classes into specific files, or right click on the edit pencil to check for null or undefined variables. These are just a few examples – give it a try!http://www.ranorex.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Available-Actions.mp4 3. Refactoring
Wouldn't it be great if you could┬Āreplace┬Ācomplex code fragments with small, easily readable methods? The extract method enables you to┬Āgroup your fragments to methods. You can further give them a clear name that explains their purpose.http://www.ranorex.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Refactor.mp4 4. CamelCase search functionality
Find what you're looking for faster with the CamelCase search functionality!┬ĀCamelCase┬Āidentifies the segments of compound words and uses the capital letters to list potential search results.5. Auto insertion of using
Start saving time when using namespaces! Type┬Āin a class using the auto-complete functionality. Ranorex will then automatically add the specific using directive of the needed namespace.6. Introduction of new methods
And yet another feature that will save you time: When calling an unknown method in code, you can now easily implement it with the context specific action ŌĆśintroduce methodŌĆ"ŌĆÖ.7. Switch on enum
This little feature comes in quite handy and enables you to write code faster. When typing a "switch" statement where the condition is an enum the cases are automatically prefilled.http://www.ranorex.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Further-Small-Enhancements2.mp4
These and many more fantastic features┬Āare available with Ranorex 6.0. Update your Ranorex Studio now (yes, itŌĆÖs free!) and start coding!

You donŌĆÖt want your automated test to take longer than it has to. Fact is, the debugger directly affects the test execution time. ThatŌĆÖs why in Ranorex 6.0 tests run without debugger by default in Ranorex Studio. Simply press the ŌĆśRunŌĆÖ button ŌĆō no administrator privileges are required ŌĆō and start saving time.
We know, only hard facts count. ThatŌĆÖs why weŌĆÖve conducted a comparison, running a test with and without debugger, so you can see the benefits of the new default setting for yourself.Up to twice as fast test run in Ranorex 6.0
Test environment and data
WeŌĆÖve used the Ranorex KeePass sample, one of our sample test solutions delivered with Ranorex Studio, so you can easily reproduce these tests. All test cases were enabled. To omit static delays which could influence the test results, we further activated the Turbo Mode for all recording modules. We ran the tests in two setups. In the first, the computer was in an idle state. As in everyday work life, however, a machine usually has to juggle multiple processes, we simulated a 100% CPU load with a CPU Burn-in in the second setup.
The results clearly show that when your computer is in an idle state, the new default settings merely reduce the test execution time by 5%. However, when youŌĆÖre using your computer to the full capacity, your test will be twice as fast now. These two scenarios represent two extremes, with a realistic CPU usage being somewhere in the middle. One way or another, one thing is clear: this new default setting will definitely save you time. Especially if youŌĆÖre using an older system, youŌĆÖll see significant improvements in execution time.When to use the debugger
Debugging is important. You just donŌĆÖt want the debugger to be part of your test execution by default, but use it legitimately, and only when it really does make sense. So when you do need it, you now simply have to press one button to enable the debug mode. Using the debugger, you can set breakpoints directly in the Ranorex code editor to intercept the test run at predefined positions. This allows you to look at specific steps more closely and perform manual interactions. An important note on the side: Please donŌĆÖt forget that previously set breakpoints will be ignored in the new default run mode.
System specifications
WeŌĆÖve conducted our tests using a virtual machine setup on a host machine with the following specifications:
Host Machine
Win7 64 Bit
Intel i5-3570 CPU @3.4 GHz (4 Cores)
Samsung EVO 840 SSD

The post Speed up Your Test Run by 200% with Ranorex 6.0 appeared first on Ranorex Blog.
The idea of automating tests is that you can optimize quality, speed and efficiency in testing. But what goodŌĆÖs that, if you canŌĆÖt do any work during test execution instead, have to run one test after the other, and there is no fluid workflow when working in teams? WeŌĆÖve taken test automation to the next level and offer a sublime feature that will save you time and supports a team approach: Ranorex Remote.How does Ranorex Remote┬Āwork?
Directly out of Ranorex Studio, you can deploy your tests to Ranorex Agents to execute them remotely. Using a Ranorex Runtime Floating License, you can install a Ranorex Agent on a physical or virtual machine. You can set up multiple agents within a network and configure the test environment according to your needs. This enables you to simultaneously execute multiple tests in various different test environments, in the same time it took to execute a single test before. Your application has to work no matter which technology or operating system your customers┬Āare using! Now you can test desktop, web or mobile applications using different operating systems, system configurations, browsers, etc. at the same time ŌĆō there are no limitations. You can continue using your local machine during remote test execution. Once the test has been executed remotely, youŌĆÖll get immediate feedback on the test performance. The report itself is stored on the Ranorex Agent the test has been executed on.
Just take agile testing, where immediate feedback and team collaboration are key success factors. Ranorex Remote now supports just that with a sublimely fluid workflow. Each team member can send tests to the same Ranorex Agents in a network and has full access to all information on these agents. As an agent can only execute one test at a time, the agent will queue the tests and execute them in order of arrival. Each team member can view the number of tests in the job queue of a specific agent, filter test reports according to test execution time and status, as well as delete or download reports directly from an agent. Thus, everyone in a team is equally informed about remote test execution. Just imagine a test run has failed, and you need immediate help or feedback from one of your colleagues: Simply pass on the information which agent the test has been executed on and when. Directly from the Remote Pad within Ranorex Studio, your colleague can now easily access the Run History of the Ranorex Agent, filter the report, download it locally and continue working with it. As each team member has full access to all remotely executed tests and their reports, it is easy to keep track of the testing progress.Limited offer!

Many have requested it, itŌĆÖs been truly long awaited and finally itŌĆÖs here: the Ranorex Studio Git integration. Ranorex 6.0 gives you full access to all Git functionalities within Ranorex Studio. Git is the most commonly used open source version control system and plays a major role in many development environments. So far, Ranorex has only supported the centralized version control systems SVN and TFS. Ranorex now responds to the ever increasing demand for a distributed version control system.Benefits of the Ranorex Git integration
With the release date looming around the corner, itŌĆÖs always a race of developing and testing new features. If youŌĆÖre already using Git, you shouldnŌĆÖt have to invest much needed time and resources to set up an additional version control system. You can now version control your Ranorex projects with Git. Directly from Ranorex Studio, you can commit and push changes to the repository as well as pull them from there. For those of you using Git in the development environment, this update thus not only save you time, but also enhances collaboration between development and testing teams.
This update gives you full access to all Git functionalities within Ranorex Studio, including:
This and more features are available with Ranorex 6.0. And in case you forgot: This major software update is already included in Ranorex software maintenance at no additional costs or hidden fees.┬ĀUpdate to Ranorex 6.0 now, check out our Git User Guide section and get started!

A major software update with a ton new features led to a great Q&A session in our Ranorex 6.0 Webinar! It was a pleasure presenting the new Ranorex 6.0┬Āfeatures┬Āto all of you, and I've received some excellent questions. As I didn't get to all of them in the webinar, I'll cover the most popular questions here.┬ĀBut before I continue, IŌĆÖd like to take this opportunity to thank all 640 attendees for their valuable input ŌĆō you truly made this webinar a success!Updating to Ranorex 6.0
How much does it cost to update to Ranorex 6.0?
All major software updates, and thus also Ranorex 6.0, are included in our maintenance services at no additional costs. If your maintenance services have expired (have to be renewed annually), please visit our Renewal page or contact us for further information.
Can I install and use both Ranorex 5.4 and Ranorex 6.0?
You can only install and use one Ranorex version at a time. As Ranorex will create an automatic backup of your entire solution when updating to Ranorex 6.0, you donŌĆÖt have to worry about the possibility of your projects being corrupted.
What license do I need to set up a Ranorex Agent and use a Ranorex Remote?
You need a Ranorex Runtime Floating License to set up a Ranorex Agent and use Ranorex Remote. Remember that only until June 30, 2016 you can save 30% on Ranorex Runtime Floating Licenses, so be quick! The agent takes the license at startup and keeps it until the agent is shut down. Thus, a Runtime License is blocked as long as the Ranorex Agent is active.
How do I deploy settings to a Ranorex Agent?
Settings from your local machine can easily be deployed to a Ranorex Agent. Please consult our dedicated User Guide section for detailed information on how to do so.
Do I need an active user session to run a remote test?
Yes, you need to make sure the Ranorex Agent is running in an active user session. Find out┬Āhow to keep your remote machine unlocked even if you close the RDP session┬Āin our dedicated User Guide section.
How can I start a remote test?
You can start a remote test directly out of Ranorex Studio using the Remote Pad. By pressing the ŌĆśRunŌĆÖ button next to an agentŌĆÖs name, the currently selected Run Configuration will be executed on this agent. Please find further information in our User Guide.
Can I send tests to an "Agent Pool"?
You have to specifically select┬Āthe┬ĀRanorex Agent you want to execute your test on.
Which tests can I run on Ranorex Agents?
You can only run test suites on Ranorex Agents. If you want to find out more about how to execute remote tests with Ranorex Remote, you can find detailed instructions┬Āhere.
Can I debug remote tests?
Debugging is only possible for locally executed tests. As Ranorex Remote only enables remote test execution, debugging is not possible at the moment.
Can I continue working on my local machine during remote test execution?
Yes, this is a main purpose of Ranorex Remote. Your local machine is not blocked during remote test execution.
Are remote tests executed sequentially or in parallel?
A Ranorex Agent can only execute one test at a time. If multiple tests are sent to one Ranorex Agent for remote test execution, these tests will be queued at the agent and executed in order of arrival. If you want to execute multiple tests in parallel to each other, you need to send each test to a different Ranorex Agent. As an example: If you want to execute three tests at the same time, you have to send these tests to three different Ranorex Agents, which require a total of three Ranorex Runtime Floating Licenses. You can find further information on remote test execution in our dedicated User Guide section.
Can I integrate Ranorex Agents into a CI system? Can I schedule tests with Ranorex Remote?
At the moment, you can only start remote tests┬Āfrom Ranorex Studio and scheduling is not possible. Please check out our Product Roadmap to find whatŌĆÖs planned for Ranorex in the near future.

Why is Ranorex the ideal tool for testers and developers? What is the Ranorex API? How can agile teams benefit from Ranorex? Questions you may have already asked yourself and the renowned test automation architect, avid blogger and podcaster, Joe Colantonio has now discussed with our Ranorex Head of Sales, Christoph Preschern, and Product Manager, Roland Enzinger.
In Joe's podcast, they talk about topics such as:
We didn't want to give it all away, so here are just a few questions Joe has asked our test automation experts:
Do you have any examples of where your customers are currently using Ranorex?
Many of our customers are using different types of technologies. One of our key USPs is the broad support of different technologies. Think about .NET based applications, Java based applications, ERP Systems like SAP, Oracle Forms, or mobile applications. On mobile devices you might have hybrid, native and mobile web applications. Ranorex allows you to combine all technologies within one test. Many of our customers are doing end-to-end test automation. Just take an online bookstore as an example. Using Ranorex, you can simulate adding a book to an ERP system, then simulate a user looking for a book on a mobile device, adding it to the wish list and, in the next step, accessing the wish list as well as purchasing the book from the webpage using a computer. Finally, at the end of the loop, you can verify whether the book has been correctly removed from the ERP system. Scenarios like these can easily be created in one test case with Ranorex.
Does Ranorex integrate with any version control system?
Ranorex Studio directly integrates with Git, Subversion and Team Foundation Server. You can easily use any other file based version control system outside of Ranorex Studio, as the entire Ranorex project structure is file based.
Do you only support UI based technologies or also any type of API REST testing?
Besides the UI, thereŌĆÖs an increasing demand for web service test automation, and itŌĆÖs always worth to combine UI tests with API tests. This is possible within Ranorex Studio, as you can create your web service tests based on existing libraries from the .NET framework.
How should a team get started with test automation?
ItŌĆÖs important to know which test cases should be automated first. ThatŌĆÖs why itŌĆÖs essential to have an understanding of testing in general. You shouldnŌĆÖt just automate any test case. You need to consider which test cases are executed the most, as the return on investment is linked to the number of times a test is executed. When introducing a team to test automation, you need to think about who is doing the automation and which test cases to automate. At Ranorex we offer free online webinars, videos and written instructions to inform people on how to get started with test automation, provide useful tips and best practices. For those who have mastered the test automation basics and want to proof their knowledge, we also offer a Ranorex Certificate.

The post Have You Heard the Fantastic News? appeared first on Ranorex Blog.
If youŌĆÖre testing a web application, it would naturally be best to test it with not only one but with all of the most popular browsers (cross-browser testing).
This blog post will show you how to record your automated website browser tests and then automatically execute the recorded tests on different browser for browser compatibility testing. Ranorex is a cross browser testing tool which can run tests in Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Chromium and Microsoft Edge.
To demonstrate how to perform a multiple browser test, we will generate a small sample which enters data in our VIP Database Test Web Application
First of all weŌĆÖll create a Test Case holding two Recordings, one for opening and one for closing the browser as setup and teardown modules.
Now we add a ŌĆ£OpenBrowserŌĆØ action to the OpenBrowser Module with ŌĆ£http://www.ranorex.com/web-testing-examples/vip/ŌĆØ as Url and e.g. ŌĆ£IEŌĆØ as browser.
As next step we add a recording module validating the status String on connecting and disconnecting.
The recording module simply
Make sure to have two repository items representing the connection status text, one for ŌĆ£OnlineŌĆØ and one for ŌĆ£OfflineŌĆØ. This allows you to overcome issues with delaying validation steps. In our application it takes some time that the status text changes from ŌĆ£connectingŌĆ"ŌĆØ to ŌĆ£OnlineŌĆØ. To make the Validation work, we can simply add the actual validation into the RanoreXPath and only validate the existence of the status text in our web page. By doing so, we are using the search timeout of the repository item to wait for the status text to change.
Additionally to the TestConnection recording, we will generate a recording for adding VIPŌĆÖs to the database. This recording will be added to a new Test Case as we want to data driven add VIPŌĆÖs and do not want to open and close the browser and testing the connection with each iteration of adding a new VIP.
The recording might look something like this:
As we want to make our test data driven, we have to add variables which can be bound with the data from our data source.
The key sequences for first and last name contain the variables $FirstName and $LastName.┬ĀTo select the category, we have to add a SetValue action and set the TagValue to the variable $Category.┬ĀThe gender can be set by adding a variable to the RanoreXPath of the corresponding repository item.┬ĀAdditionally, we validate the VIP count against a variable $VIP_Count.
After generating the recording, we create a data source for the Test Case Add_VIPŌĆÖs and bind the data tables to the variables of the recording AddVIP.
As last step we add a Close Application action to the CloseBrowser Module with the application folder of the web application as repository item.
Now we can execute our Test Suite Project, which:
To perform these steps not only for IE but also for the other browser which are supported, we first make the browser which will be started in the Recording ŌĆ£OpenBrowserŌĆØ variable.
Therefore open the recording ŌĆ£OpenBrowserŌĆØ and edit the browser which should be started. Now choose ŌĆ£As new VariableŌĆ"ŌĆØ instead of ŌĆ£IEŌĆØ and add a new Variable called BrowserName.
After that, add a new simple data table to the Test Case ŌĆ£Add_VIP_and_ValidateŌĆØ, holding the names of the different browsers and bind the data connector to the variable ŌĆ£BrowserNameŌĆØ.
After making the browser variable that way and binding this variable to a table holding all supported browser names, you can execute your test script for all supported browser.

These aren't bad, but I don't know if I'd call them "muffins." They don't rise at all, so they're shaped more like hockey pucks. The flavor vaguely reminds me a little of sausage. I'll probably make these again for sheer convenience. Easy protein on the go. About 20 minutes in the oven is what I needed to bake these.
I am training for a triathlon and eating a lot of high protein. These are great. Easy to make, wasn't sure how long to bake??? I went with 16 minutes and made 6 medium size muffins with this recipe. Good taste and I used pecans. Thanks!
