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....

Hi folks. I’d like to share today something with all of you. I’ve been thinking about how technology affected my life in the long run. And how I perceive the world today around me. So let’s go around this topic for a little bit shall we? The Past So as somebody who lived for a while without technology coming near family for a decade or so I have a little bit of past in me without smart phones, gadgets, tv or computers for that matter....

Hello. I created a tale of why not to automate everything. With legos. Enjoy. Gergely.

Hello everybody. I’ve been messing around with sublime for some time now. And been using it to write entires and stuff. So here I was thinking why the hell I should not us it as my main blog entry writer. And being the curious guy I was I thought that creating a plugin that let’s you submit your post from your favorite editor is just the thing I need. So without any further ado here it is....

Hey folks. I find out something new about cucumber-jvm every day. If you want something that is executed after all of the tests have finished you must use the Java shutdownHook. It’s simple really you add in a block of code that can run right before the JVM quits. I know I know. It sounds awful but I found out that this is the actual way of doing this with java / cucumber....

Hello everybody. I would like to show you a gem today that I found out. Apparently there is no easy way to get to the name of an executing cucumber scenario in cucumber-jvm You can try something like that: @After //this is cucumbers @Afters public static void afterExecution(Scenario scenario) { logger.log("The status of the test is: " + scenario.getStatus()); } But that isn’t giving you too much now is it? And the API of scenario is as small as it can get....

Hi folks. I attended a 4 day course of Groovy and Grails and this is my attempt at writing up a summary to see how much I retained. I’ll try to do this from the top of my head without peaking at my notes. So let’s begin. Introductions First of all, introductions. The course was held by Peter Ledbrook. He is the guy who wrote Grails in Action. He is awesome, go check him out....

Hello folks. Today I’d like to share with you some of the experiences I had as a beginner tester. I hope it sets you off on a path to enlightenment and leaves you off with a good appetite for testing. Shall we begin then? The early days It was 2004 when I finished school and started working at my first company. I finished as a software developer which is kind of an exaggeration since I only finished a 2 years course of it....

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....

Hello Everybody. Today I would like to show you what you need to become a Testing expert. If you had noticed I deliberately left out the word Software. Why? Because becoming and expert in Testing Anything has the same root as becoming an expert to test software. And for that let me take you back to a Galaxy Far Far Away in Time AND Space. The beginnings. I went to school in Oroszlany, my home town in Hungary....
