Not sure how many of you noticed the blog's sidebar, if at all, but there is a bunch of cool stuff there! Seriously! The king of cool is a rather useful link called Dev & QA Tools. It contains a nice list of the wonderful tools we use in Testuff for RnD and testing. I'm [...]
Sending out the word of mouth about Testuff to the further reaches of cyberspace has yielded some stimulating feedback. Out of all things that are Testuff though, what seems to really get people are the smallest things of all - the Testuff icons. Selected testimonials below: The GUI is a bit colorful and kitschy - [...]
I've got some hot material to blog about, and I will do so, soon :) In the meanwhile why not enjoy a real world testing scenario of a buggy water bed:
Just watched James Bach's lecture on Becoming a Software Testing Expert and had a major blast. I love this guy's ruthless honesty, geeky sense of humor, and the references he drops all over the place from philosophy, sci-fi, films, and whatnot. Hell, even if you don't care about becoming a software testing expert, watch his [...]
I f*#$ed up. I wrote a simple script to send post sale emails to our customers, letting them know we are here to help in case they have any questions or suggestions. The script was supposed to pull out registrants who registered over 2 weeks ago and to whom we have not sent such an [...]
Ran across this funny piece entitled The Top 20 replies by programmers when their programs don't work. Sad but true: 20. "That's weird..." 19. "It's never done that before." 18. "It worked yesterday." 17. "How is that possible?" 16. "It must be a hardware problem." 15. "What did you type in wrong to get it [...]
As I was testing away our brand new shiny Testuff 0.9, I was wondering about the everlasting question in our profession, what makes a good tester? What qualities are needed for the acest QA of them all? Maybe arrogantly, what is it that makes me a good tester? I don't think this answer can be [...]
Having seen the celebrity look alike webapp, I had some funny inspiration for testing. Let's see how well it works and see if the celebrities look like themselves! My Hollywood Twin, Johnny Depp, only looks like himself by 76%. That sucks for the algorithm developers. On the other hand, this guy has a hundred [...]
About two weeks ago me and Arik went to the QA2008 conference in Ramat Gan here in Israel. It was a nice chance to step out of our office and go out there to meet people from the QA community, plus have some free conference food and cheap orange juice. Unfortunately most lectures were boring. [...]
Hello testing world! My name is Ido and I would like to invite all you QA people out there to tune in, those testing rigorously, relentlessly, and ruthlessly. I used to work in QA myself, and I know what it's like. The high steam pressure before releases to test the hell out of the product, [...]
