Testing Routine

I read somewhere that best practice is to test something once, have a break and test again.
Today this saying occured as truth.
Yesterday I have tested a functionality of an app, and haven't spotted few bugs wchich I found today.
My grandpa was right, when he said: Tomorrow will bring new opportunities.

Hoax Email

From my own life there is an example:
My wife recently received a message which described situation of a very ill child, and at the end:
"(..)If you post this message to at least 20 friends, that child will receive 1 zł (polish currency) for each send one. and You will receive newest ringtone(..)"
Then my wife asked me how to add those 20 adresses to forward this message.(she is new at internet, so dont laugh)
I asked her only three things about that message before telling her how to do that:
- Is there any adress, phone number, just anything to verify the authenticity of message?
- Is there a link to some real site providing ringtones which could prove that You will receive one?
- Ask a person which sended this message if he/she received something in reward.

And she deleted it after a while...

Yeah. Testing IS Life :)

Bug Diary

Hello Again
It is quite a time from my begining as a tester.
I've become a tester by accident, but it was the best acident in my whole life.
I've tested some apps, developed by my company and in the meantime read and learn alot.
The most valuable blogs, that I came across, I have listed here. To find them myself faster and for You to find them too.
I found those people have Huge knowledge about testing.

I also learn lot from my more experienced friends, at work.

When i was reading blog by Mr
Pradeep Soundararajan i came across his xls file called "Personal Bug Diary". I admire that idea, and I think it would be useful for me too, in the future.
