A Different Ceiling
I have just returned (last Saturday) from a very nice vacation and will be talking about it on upcoming blogs (still uploading the pictures).
Anyway I am back to work. I am currently a replacement for a colleague that also went on a vacation and it has been like this since a couple of weeks ago. She will be back by the end of the week. There is nothing bad about it but I just don’t like the idea of me testing (yes I am a tester there) an application I barely know and doing nothing else but is supposed to report something back — accomplished!
On another note, I am currently thinking of some ways to improve the process within the development group on our consultancy business (my company) deployed on one of our clients. I was consulted by the Program Manager for this since I am currently a consultant also, deployed in the same client. I’m still trying to figure things out but I might end up suggesting to let them use a tool for tracking everything. I am currently looking at Bugzilla and JIRA since both are very popular and can be extended far beyond being just an issue tracker. More on these tools, maybe on another blog entry.
That’s it. Just a small update, nothing fancy ^^.

Mantis is actually very similar to Bugzilla. I haven’t tried it yet but visiting forums would give you an idea that it is indeed very similar to bugzilla. I am actually lobbying for our company to use JIRA. Bugzilla is good and has superb capability in terms of searching and it is a proven fact that it can handle very very large data. But what I like about JIRA is its presentation and flexibility in terms of defining your own workflow for different projects and “issue” type (in Enterprise License). Not to mention the support and good documentation since it is a commercial software. Leveraging these capabilities, we can extend its use to facilitate waiver approvals, leave application, proposal tracking, etc. and still have our own process and policies intact ^^.
