Discovering a New Alley
Firstly, I am very glad to contribute to the #MozillaFirefox
through my contributions on the Beta Testday.
To be very true, this was the first time where I was
indulged into a pure technical lush of testing and debugging the errors. It was
very exciting! Since I am just in the apprentice level of learning I am not
much exposed to these kinds of stuffs but when I started to test the cases my
interest towards dealing with bugs rocketed.
The best part of the day was obtaining the expected “output”.
I was enthralled to learn a lot many things on the go. I wasn’t much dejected when I encountered with an error because I knew the way to tackle it too, using
the help of #Bugzilla bugs were well managed.
Exploring the undiscovered path is always fantastic! Likewise,
I realized that there are many opportunities in testing and debugging field
viz., the IV & V (Independent Verification and Validation) units. The IV
& V sector plays a major role in ‘Software Cycle’ before the deployment of
the product. Therefore getting prior skills and pioneer in the field is
essential for a Software Developer which I was able to witness through this
program.
To sum up, the Beta Test Day gave me a good exposure to
technical stuffs and it was a great way of learning through a practical manner.
I thank Mr. Prasanth and #mozillatn for having faith on me that I would be able
to support the mission and also for guiding me very accurately to explore this
undiscovered path.
