test methodologies Questions

Am using selenium Web Driver for switching between the windows.

using java script for opening the new window

((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("window.open("http://www.gmail.com");");

After opening the new window i need to perform some actions on the newly opened window and then close it and switch back to the old window.

mentioned above works fine in Windows and Linux with all the browser combinations ,but fails in I Phone and Andriod.

Please provide what cause for this ,why this opening a new window does not work in I Phone or Android.

There are very few resources regarding this issue even they are very uncertain,please kindly provide the information regarding this issue.

Thanks in advance.

My collegue has suggested we start using TTM or test traceability matrix for our testing.  I've heard of RTM, requirements traceability matrix, but not TTM.  How are they different and how would I go about implementing them?

I really wonder what's in store for functional QA. Normally engineers who don't have much interest in coding get into  QA as a functional tester. But down the line is this enough? Can they grow in their career with this expertise?

Hii I wanted to learn the software testing tools??which tools r best in growth with good pacages??

Provide the updates related to the latest Test Automation trends, which is to be followed for better and efiicient testing.

Suggest the list of widely used Automated Testing tools.

What daily tasks do you perform as a software tester? Does your work include writing test plans, bug reports and automated scripts, communicating with developers, manual testing and analyzing automated tool results? 

I've done a little research and came up with two links that offer some insight in this $34B industry! 

http://www.thinksys.com/blog/software-testing-trends-that-will-rock-2016/, which says that "the role of Automation is to support the testers and not to replace them. " That article also states that "Nelson Hall predicts that by 2017, the software testing market size will be $34 Billion." And https://www.quora.com/What-is-latest-technology-trends-in-Software-testing, which mentions: "Independent Software testing (trending): With increased focus on QA, many businesses are relying on specialist QA organizations to provide testing services. This is largely due to the expertise that specialist QA organizations bring to the table, including TCoE capability. Hence partnering with them helps the business to circumvent the pain of finding skilled QA resources and setting up a mature QA, both in terms of process and technology."

What information needs to be included in a viable test plan? 

More and more companies are adding automated tools to their tool set for testing software products on web and mobile platforms, to speed up the testing process. 

What automation tools does your company use to automate testing procedures?
