This is from blogger app on android

Give "time", some time. When your teacher gave you time, you did not complain. Now that you have become the teacher, you forgot that the student needs time?

Apply this to any practice we start. Just because few teams got to a great start, it doesn't mean that other teams should match the standard. Not everything can be measured objectively. And if one tries to measure, I have enough examples where the behavior can be tuned to meet the metric.

If you feel that this post doesn't make any sense and is very disconnected as a whole, its ok. I wanted to test blogger app.

Maybe, I should google for "learning mechanisms" or read on wikipedia.

Mobile Blogger :)

My new mobile:

I like to use my mobile more as a computer than a mobile. I always wanted to buy a mobile which would help me check emails, browse sites, watch videos, tweet, skype, chat and be connected to the online world. Having an unlimited internet connection on my mobile definitely helps. So, after losing my last mobile, I bought myself a Nokia E63.

Everyday learning:

So, with a new tool and loads of excitement, I started learning about the various features. I made quite a few mistakes, few factory resets, lots of installations and configurations. I started with installing Skype, Snaptu, ebuddy, Screensnap (an application to capture screenshot on mobile),,, the list just goes on.

Surprise Application:



Today when I was accessing a website, I observed an ad which read: Download OperaMini 4.1 (Customized for Vodafone services). I downloaded and on installation, I observed an icon which looked familiar - 'Blogger'.

And this is the first blogpost from my mobile. I hope to blog more frequently from my mobile. Meet you soon with yet another blogpost describing my experience.

Bugs - Stop following me!!!

Some not so good news: My mobile phone was stolen!!!

Good news: Time to buy a new mobile phone.

I had postponed the task of getting myself a new mobile for over a week now. I have dedicated some time from testing an iPhone app to buy a phone.

As a loyal to Nokia brand and after my friend suggested the 'Nokia 5800 XpressMusic' I wanted to know how the phone looked like.

Well, at 12:14AM IST, it is stupid to expect mobile stores ready to display a phone to any customer. The next option: Nokia India website.

After going through the specifications listed on the website, I started thinking about the following two points:

* How many customers would read the entire list of specifications.

* How well the author has *literally* sold the product on the website.

Back to my mobile hunt: First question: What is the price?

I hit the next website: Sangeetha Mobiles

The 'Search' feature of the website caught my attention.

I wanted to browse through the phones from Nokia and which cost between 5K -10K.

*Sometimes bugs follow you*

On selecting Nokia and 5000 - 10000 in the respective dropdowns & clicking on Search button, I'm greeted with this greeting: 'StockAvailable is neither a DataColumn nor a DataRelation for table .'

At 12.20AM IST, I'm in no mood for bugs after a to-and-fro journey from Bangalore-Mysore during the weekend.

As a tester, sometimes we are so used to bugs (which I feel is a trap and risk) that we neglect it and move on.

After the ritual(read screenshots, emotional bursts, careful reading...) I pressed the backspace key. On selecting the Price range : 5000 - 10000, and clicking on Search button gave a new greeting: 'Invalid postback or callback argument.'

I end my mobile hunt with two thoughts:

* I will give my best shot as a tester to help the stakeholders understand the impact of bugs.

* I will personally visit the store to decide my next mobile.

Till that time, I can be contacted on twitter , Skype @ajay184f
