Testers Lviv Ua

 Recently I've found new youtube's channel about software testing - Testers Lviv Ua. Main language is Russian, so some of you, who don't know Russian this lectures will be useless, but if you know Russian you will find a lot of useful information!
This is a good beginning from our top companies, because many of lectures are working on that companies, for example two nice girls are working on Epam. Anyway, I thing that we must support this start, at least by posting theirs videos in our twitters or blogs, it will be sad if they will close this channel and will stop making such a great videos.

Move to practice...continue

Ok, I've spent some time with CodePlex but actually I didn't get what I was need. Anyway, I made some localization for one project, will give a link when localized version will be released. Also I have, and I guess that not only I, problems with joining to new projects as almost no one needs a tester in a team, some times even automated testers can't find a projects for themselves.
Still nothing on Github, but I must say that I didn't look closer for them.
Now, I want tell to some of you important thing:

1. If you want to find a project for testing, you must search for it, don't wait that some developers will ask you for a favor to test their apps, it's you you must ask them for that kind of favor also you must interested them in something, coz why they must "hire" you if you just like others 100 "green" testers?
2. Probably you could start some simple project and begin to test it be yourself and invite some beginner tester, like you are.
3. Not bad idea to find some "dead" of frozen project and test it
4. But in most of cases you should go to some testers courses and gain additional or general knowledge about testing, but this's not our way, because we want to made all of it be ourselves.

And continue to read books and sites about testing, this is a good idea to keep you in shape!

Move to practice!

Ok, for now I read a lot about software testing and I feel that I need to move on, so I decided to take a part at testing some software. I created account at Microsoft's CodePlex and already send a request for some projects. For now I'll not say much about them, because one of them is a half dead, I guess and another one is live but I didn't get an invitation, so I'll wait a while and, maybe, look for other projects. Also I've account at Github but I didn't look there. So, maybe someone of you knows some live projects, which needs a tester or, maybe a translator (Ukrainian/Russian - fluent) I'd like to take a part in their development! So, that's all for now. Good luck! P.S. From this time I'll write only in English! I know, my English is not perfect but how can I improve it if I'll not write on it? Hope it's not so bad :)
