I like yo...Sir I am a regular reader of your blog.. I like your way of describing the things...I am in the testing field for 5 years... And what i believe, to be a successful tester one need to have a right approach.. <br />What my approach of testing is "When i go to by tomato, i just spent 5 rs.. but still i check <br />1) if the tomato is good looking or not: i mean in a good shape without any spot...<br />2) I check the color : it should not look yellow or white or green for one end or other, 3) I check if its not rotten <br />4) I check by pressing it, to see it doesn't get pressed completely<br />So every time i buy vegetable, I always make certain checks (Just like check list), whereas i am only spending certain amount 5rs,10rs, 50 rs etc.<br />So when i sit for testing, i always keep this in mind, As a user just for this small amount if i look for defect free, if i want perfection why the end user who is spending huge amounts in software will not expect defect free and perfect software. This is the feeling which keeps me motivated and inspires me to find more and more defects.<br /><br />Thanks & regards <br />Lalit Mohan Pandey<br />pandey.lm@gmail.com<br />DelhiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1695460650467928609.post-59863897085509214572009-04-27T22:19:00.000-07:002009-04-27T22:19:00.000-07:00U can identify that this msg is not correct, becau...U can identify that this msg is not correct, because it says u enter ur pin number in reverse order still u will be able to withdraw money..whereas password validation fails in this step. <br /><br />But I always believe there should be a mechanism in the ATM machine to dial a 100 number in emergency situation, Just the way one sets is password, in the same method he should be allowed to set a code of his choice to dial the 100 number. so that robber doesn't notice or doesn't know if you are dialing police or entering ur password. <br /><br />Lalit mohan pandey (pandey.lm@gmail.com)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1695460650467928609.post-88664437745563465232008-04-15T06:19:00.000-07:002008-04-15T06:19:00.000-07:00@ MrFreb (Chris),I love your above example. And I ...@ MrFreb (Chris),<BR/><BR/>I love your above example. And I am quite impressed with the way you handled it! Here in India also we keep getting such emails (with minor tweaks here and there). <BR/><BR/>a) When I have time, I reply back (trying my best to remain politically correct) the sender (in most cases, who is a friend in my contact list), trying to prove why this email can be a hoax and why (s)he should stop spreading hoax emails and stop cluttering other's in-boxes with garbages. The worst part is, while spreading these hoax emails, they hardly realize that they are spreading hoax in a viral way!<BR/><BR/>b) When I don't have time (and patience), I simply forward the email to where it belongs! Yes, you guessed it right. I DELETE them and send them to the trash!<BR/><BR/>What makes me feel sorry is how easily people tend to get into such traps! Sometimes it is sympathy (to help someone in need and distress) and sometimes it is greed (to receive some free ring tones, as in your case above). I understand that greed and sympathy are human nature but we can avoid such hoax (traps) if we can take a moment to think and start asking questions (like you did above). Chris, you are absolutely right. <B> Testing IS Life...</B><BR/><BR/>Happy Testing...<BR/>-DebasisDebasis Pradhanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15059356907987625705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1695460650467928609.post-47667604174661040932008-04-15T04:56:00.000-07:002008-04-15T04:56:00.000-07:00Hi Debasis.

It's excellent point of view, and described for later use (like Javed Nehal did) :) <BR/>From my own life there is an example: <BR/>My wife recently received a message which described situation of a very ill child, and at the end: <BR/>"(..)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(..)"<BR/>Then my wife asked me how to add those 20 adresses to forward this message.(she is new at internet, so dont laugh)<BR/>I asked her only three things about that message before telling her how to do that:<BR/>- Is there any adress, phone number, just anything to verify the authenticity of message?<BR/>- Is there a link to some real site providing ringtones which could prove that You will receive one?<BR/>- Ask a person wchich sended this message if he/she received something in reward.<BR/><BR/>And she deleted it after a while...<BR/><BR/>Yeah.

As far...@ amudu,<BR/><BR/>Thanks amudu for your appreciation. As far as learning testing is concerned, I strongly believe that there is no "Magic Bullet" for that. It depends on the person trying to learn testing. The ways that work for me may or may not work for you. Simply because our contexts of learning may be different. Personally, I try to learn testing skills from a variety of sources like - a lot of reading, observing the things happening around me in my day to day life, interacting with testers, doing some real testing, and more importantly thinking about a testing subject from different possible dimensions. See if any of these methods make sense to you. If you know some more effective methods to learn testing better, please do share with me here.<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/>-Debasis.Debasis Pradhanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15059356907987625705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1695460650467928609.post-91171593505288182292007-05-03T02:18:00.000-07:002007-05-03T02:18:00.000-07:00i loved the way u have done excellenthey can u tel...i loved the way u have done excellent<BR/>hey can u tell me the way to learn testingUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04242163382071874960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1695460650467928609.post-10358557507100631152007-02-27T01:19:00.000-08:002007-02-27T01:19:00.000-08:00Hi Debasis,You have a very cool blog here…loved th...Hi Debasis,<BR/><BR/>You have a very cool blog here…loved the content.

I understand that...Nice to see your comment Mallik. I understand that a 4 digit PIN number itself can never be unique. But a 4 digit PIN number combined with your Bank a/c number stored in your ATM card is definitely unique (simply because your Bank a/c number itself is unique for a particular bank). When you are entering your PIN, the PIN number is validated with your Bank a/c number and other details stored in your ATM card. So finally the combination becomes unique. Otherwise, how more than 1 user could use same PIN number (as you said "The PIN number 1234 will be shared by thousands of Bank customers") ?Debasis Pradhanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15059356907987625705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1695460650467928609.post-62567105558660244202007-02-26T01:20:00.000-08:002007-02-26T01:20:00.000-08:00I can immediately claim this SMS as false since no...I can immediately claim this SMS as false since nothing can be done on basis of 4 digit PIN number which can never be unique.
