Hey testers,
Welcome to my first Monthly Software Testing Report – July 2015.
The idea behind this report is to provide a second chance for testers to review some highlights in software testing in the last month. The report also helps busy testers be up-to-date and synchronized with the software testing community without having to follow up daily.
Alright, here we go…

Last July, there are several amazing magazines published for software testing community. Let’s check out some of them

LogiGear Magazine:
LogiGear Magazine in June 2015 is all about API testing. Below is what Michael Hackett said in Letter From Editor:
“Now APIs are a key part of product development, from enterprise to mobile to wearable Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Many new applications are just a combination of APIs, whether you call them “traditional” APIs, web APIs, web services or even Social APIs.”

Hot topics and discussions:
Let’s go one round of forum or online discussion to see what hot topics were being discussed.
On LinkedIn, there were two interesting discussions which were received good traction.
You might be a little bit late for “the party” there but going through comments is also worth your effort
Around the blogs:
- United Airlines awards hackers millions of miles for revealing risks
- Top 10 skills for testers
- Darkside of Cognitive Friction
AskTester Update:
Of course, AskTester was also providing some good stuff for testers (ahem :D)
New blog post: New Testers: Stop worrying these things and you’ll be fine
Some interesting questions raised:
- Do you often provide solution to fix the problem when you report a bug? Why or Why not?
- What’s difference between defect severity and priority
- Can we have a bug free or zero defect application?
- Things to consider before starting an automation project?
AND. . .
That’s all for Software Testing Report for July 2015. Let’s look forward to next Software Testing Report for August 2015.
Oh, by the way, if you don’t see your posts here, it probably means I have missed your good stuff. Feel free to comment right below to tell me what I missed.
Also, if you are doing really hard to create something cool for testers to read, give me a heads-up at thanh[at]asktester.com, I’ll consider to add it into next month report.
