Rambling

Hello folks. Today I would like to talk to you about something interesting I was talking about with a developer friend. We talked about the quality of test code. He said. And I will quote this.“Why should we care? It’s not production code. We aren’t giving it to the customer.” There are a few reasons why you are going to get a slap in the face for a sentence like this. And let’s clarify here that we are talking about unit and functional tests as well. It shouldn’t matter what tests you are thinking about. ...

Dear everbody. I’d like to present you a small idea I was working on recently. The reminiscence of an old program. From the view point of the program. I’m planning to put these out in few days successions. I hope you enjoy it. Cheers, Gergely. If I remember correctly it was the year 2012 when I was born. I’m unsure of this date as my subroutines and algorithms have been re-written so many times that if it weren’t for my backups I wouldn’t remember a thing. I was a bold adventure of some young minds who thought that with me they will change the face of the world. ...

Hello everybody. Today I would like to write about something I experienced over the years of being in the software industry. Some History I’ve been a tester for a long time now. I’ve been up and down and down and up. I struggled for a very long time until I became somebody who I am today. And I still have many things to learn ahead of me. I learned from many people. I personally thing my greatest influence on testing was James Marcus Bach and his Brother Jon Bach you should definitely check out these guys. It took me a long time to get to where I am today. And after ~10 years now I can state with a reasonable confidence that this industry is no longer about technology or solutions to technological problems. ...

Dear Readers. Today I want to talk to you about something I discovered over years of working and experience. Also something that I can see in the world repeating over and over again. Not just in Software business but also in History in Human nature in Physics and Systems. So let’s see what I’m talking about. What is Chaos? Chaos is a state of utter confusion. Chaos is the opposite of order. Chaos is when everybody does what they want without thinking about the consequences. ...

Hi folks. I want to write a little bit about writing a professional blog. Early steps Let’s first talk about what you understand about professional blog. It’s either a semi professional one, that mixes life with professionalism, like chess, programming, testing, painting, drawing, engineering whatever your profession is. Or it can be a purely professional one without your life getting involved in it. Either way you have to decide at the beginning. Why? Because that’s the kind of people you will attract. If you want to attract people from your profession then you have to decide that you will write plenty of your profession into your blog. If you want to attract hobbists more then you write about your profession AND daily life or other situations that are essentially irrelevant. Of course you can get both in both versions but the numbers will be different. ...

Hello Dear Visitor. Welcome to the ramblings of a software test engineer who thinks that he is a tester but feels like a developer but works as a tester but wants to learn programming like a developer. And so on and so fort. I will make a journey that has been done by many automation testers. The journey when you decide to step one forward. A friend of mine told me that it is good that a tester learns proper programming and that more should do so. She is right. And I will try to document this journey as best as possible. I will try to write down my experiences with java, android, automation, swing, maven, hudson, selenium, cucumber, TDD, BDD, Agile environment and whatever tool I meet. ...
