• What I Learned When I Developed a Web App

  Last week, I released a web application for people to use to practice UI and API automation. It took me about four months to develop, working on weeknights and weekends, and it was quite an adventure! Here are five lessons I learned while developing the app. Lesson One: Software development is hard; really hardYou’ve probably heard this before, and probably from the developers you work with. But unless you’ve actually tried to develop an app yourself, you really don’t know how hard it is. I remember in my early days of software testing, when I would find bugs where field validations weren’t working correctly, and I would assume that the developer just didn’t care. But now that I know just how hard it is to get validations to even work at all, I am really sympathetic! Lesson Two: We have product owners for a reasonTake a moment to appreciate your product owner this week; the work they do is more important than you realize. When I started to work on the front end of my application I didn’t think it would be very complicated because it only has a few simple screens. But as I was coding the pages, I kept coming up with questions about how each page should be connected to the others. Finally I had to stop what I was doing and sketch out wireframes.

• From Member to Mentor and Volunteer to VP: My journey with AST

  Photo by Clemens van Lay on Unsplash ​I am often asked why do I do what I do beyond my full time job. I could simply say it's my passion for software testing but I personally don't find that answer satisfying enough. It's hard to explain what exactly we get by doing certain things when we do it out of pure joy and satisfaction of simply doing it. But if I am to closely look at my journey with Association for Software Testing, I believe I have some answers to that. Back in 2011, when we launched Tea-time with Testers, I started getting in touch with passionate testers and experts from across the globe mainly to collaborate with them for articles or work together with them to practice testing. Interesting enough, there was one thing common between most of these passionate testers (who have made significant contribution to the field of software testing) which was their association with AST. Knowing this was convincing enough for me to checkout what AST was all about and what it has been doing. The member:The fact that non-profit organisation for software testing like AST exists is itself a big relief. The purpose with which we started Tea-time with Testers and the mission and purpose of AST has some much in common. Knowing that back then was a great validation for me as a novice tester with passion for the craft of testing. The people connected with AST had already made big impression on me and there was no[…]
