I was one of the uTest (Bug Battle) "Honorable Mention"

Bug Battle Product: E-Tailers (Amazon, Target & Walmart)

Most of them must be knowing about uTest. If you do not know the I think you must check it out. Because there is something to see that cannot be conveyed through words. I joined uTest before a half year referred by my mentor Pradeep Soundararajan. Let me not bore you with the history. Let me talk about uTest Bug Battle. I was not able to participate in Q3 Bug battle for some reasons. But this time in Q4 Bug Battle which was my first participation and I was very much confident about winning some prize. And I got it. I was "Honorable Mention" for uTest Q4 Bug Battle. As this was my first uTest Bug Battle I am a bit convinced with the prize I won however I would aim for something more better in the next uTest Bug Battle. You also want to participate? Then I think you must register at uTest as well as uTest Forums.

Weekend Testing – Test, Learn & Contribute

Before several months when I heard about Weekend Testing I thought what an amazing initiation took by Ajay Balamurgadas, Manoj M V, Parimala Shankariaha, Sharath Byregowda with a great inspiration from Pradeep Soundararajan. My apologies that it has been late for me to write a blog post about WT (From now on, I will refer Weekend Testing as WT in my upcoming posts about WT).


What hit my mind when I heard about this idea?

I thought how could no one think about this before? Because, they were not bothered about bringing a change in the community or May be there are numerous reasons. But what matters is that finally it was initiated by passionate testers from Bangalore.


What do they do in WT?

You might be having this question in your mind. Instead of me elaborating on the answer to this question I would like you to visit http://www.weekendtesting.com/ to find out much more.


Recently, Ajay Balamurugadas gave an paper presentation in STC 2009 & there were amazing comments given by Michael Bolton. Also, James Bach blogged about WT in his blog. I heard from Pradeep Soundararajan that Ajay gave a awesome presentation. I was happy to see some kind of cool initiation that would account for bringing the change in the community.



WT is growing each and every second. Every weekend there are new testers coming in and testing various products depending on the mission given to them. If you are not still participating in WT then I think you are missing a great opportunity.


Registration and other details you can find it out at WT official website http://www.weekendtesting.com/ or you can contact the founders of WT.


Thanks for reading this post & have a nice time.
