The day-2 started in the park where I was supposed to be reading Testing Computer Software book. While reading the book, I came across many new words. As I had mentioned in my last post about the word-web software to improve vocabulary and pronunciation, I found it useful while reading this book. Whenever I saw new words or I wanted to know the meaning, I used the word-web software. Also, I have installed the mobile app for word-web. I find the app more comfortable to me. Now I can manage both mobile and laptop together. I think, this is called multi-tasking (handling more than one task - Wikipedia Human Multitasking link) . I thought why shouldn't I take the notes of those words. Then I decided to open a new notepad file and saved the file with the title 'new words'. In that file, I put yesterday's date and noted the words and meaning for which I did not know the meaning.
That time I felt that I learnt something on my own. Then I got confident that I will improve myself if I keep learning like this.
After that, Santhosh Tuppad has mentioned me to read about Crash course on Reporting Bugs. Through this course, I have learnt how to report a bug, who is the audience of the bug report, what are the reporting elements, significance of a bug, how to draft the bug report, how to publish the bug report and what is the checklist to be followed. Still I find it a bit difficult to understand the technical words. I hope that with regular practice, I will get to understand these terms.
Later, I was supposed to convey what I read in Crash course on Reporting Bugs to my colleague. I am literally bad at communication and I know that I will improve soon. I tried to tell everything I read. I was not not sure if my colleague understood anything from me. Then, he taught me some keyboard short cuts.
Before end of the day, Santhosh asked us to present our shared learning. He asked me to summarize. My mind went blank. :|
Snippet from our conversation:
Abinaya Ajay (AA): We should take duplicate copy of bug report.
Santhosh Tuppad (ST): Why? What is the need of it?
AA: Anyone can misuse the bug report.
ST: Why should they misuse? It's a bug report. Your work is to report the bug. You have done. Then why?
AA: I was silent. I could not think of anything.
Then he asked about screen shot. I didn't know how to tell. I told we should take screen shot of every bug. He told that I may give wrong credentials it will not allow to the website. So that we cannot take screen shot. I got confused and asked how can we measure whether it is small bug or big bug. I told him, "If it is big, then we can take video". He replied that in bugs(insects) we can say mosquito is small bug and cockroach is big bug but in testing bug is a bug. I thought to say if it is long bug we cannot take in a single screen shot instead we can take video. He told that he asked me about screen shot and not video. I was blabbering. He taught that one should deliver what one read and not just tell whatever one knows. Then he asked about the image file format we use to save screen shots. I told .png.
We ended the day by getting homework:
- Test any application and find 10 bugs. We should report our bugs by screen shot only. We are not supposed to write anything about bug.
I am still hunting for bugs... See you in next blog post.
