Part 1 of my quest - Jira bug tracking tool


Hi there! As I promised yesterday, we'll continue our steps into world of software testing world with some taste of automation. In my yesterdays plan I said that first thing which we'll learn will be bug trucking tool - Jira.
Jira is not a small tool which you can learn by one day, it's quite big thing. So, we'll use next sources - Agile Jira tutorial is not bad one but if we want to learn all Jira that blog would be not enough, we'll need book, I choose this - Jira 4 Essentials. As you see here a little info about Jira, it's be cause all these links are enough for me, and if you'll want more information - just google it.
And now let's go to school :) I meant, let's learn new about Jira from our or other sources. After a few days I hope I'll finish learning of Jira, will write some kind of report about it and we'll move to test automation tool.

Way to become a software automation tester

Some time have passed since my previous posts about testing, now I already finished my studies at University and have some extra time for learning new things, things about software testing, of course.
I will not write a lot of texts about manual testing, but we mast keep in mind that this big part of testing is also very important, especially for beginners. You can find all needed info in Cem Kaner's books, especially in this one, so now I can move on with more advanced things - automated testing.
But first I need to tell you that this is not a typical tutorial for all, for most this is tutorial for me, for my steps and sources of some knowledge, which you can also use in your own way.
So, automated testing is cool, but we also need to know some basic thing and tools. Which are they?
I could be wrong, but I thing that this is a bug trucking software, frameworks for test automation, some scripting language and basic knowledge of protocols and OS's.
My choice was putted on Jira bug tracking tool, Test Complete for automated testing and Jscript for scripting language for Test Complete, as OS of course will be Windows, be cause Test Complete works only in Win based operation systems. All other stuff will be included on the way and for now that's all.
So, this is my basic set of tools maybe they are now good for me in my current status, I don't know it, but I'll try them and than will give you some feedback about each tool and you could choose what you like and want. And in few days I'll post some tutorials for each tool.

Oracle vs all programmers world!

Hi there! Didn't write nothing here for a long time, and this could continue if I wouldn't read this article today.
To be honest I don't want to write my opinion here about this issue, because I'm not sure in my English skills for this, in many cases important issue, so I just put a link and you can read it and decide for yourself things about Oracle's strategy and plans for java's future.
