It’s very simple to start testing, You don’t need any special experience in testing area.To start testing in Open Event project you need to open our web application http://open-event.herokuapp.com/ and you can start.Isn’t it easy? So You should focus on finding as many bugs as possible to provide your users with perfectly working software. If you find a bug you need to describe many details

How can you report a bug to Open Event?

Our Requirements:

Good description – If you found a bug you have to reproduce it, so you have nice background to describe it very well. It’s important because, good issue’s description saves developers time. They don’t need to ask announcer about details of bug. The best description which tester can add is how developer can simply achieve a bug step by step.

Logs – description is sometimes not enough so you need to attach logs which are generated from our server(It’s nice if you have access, if you don’t have ask me)

Pictures – it’s helpful, because we can quickly find where bug is located

Labels – You need to assign label to issue

That’s all!

Have you ever wondered how to achieve such a result?

Screen Shot 2016-05-31 at 12.09.51 I couldn’t believe that we’ve solved such many issues in Milestone 2. The 79 is 34% of all issues, isn’t it amazing? I think that defining what kind of project do we want to develop and what features should it have allows us to move quickly and cooperate with the whole team very effectively.

What you need to achieve similar score?

First of all, you need to prepare good document which help a whole team to get familiar with the project and its features. The most important part is to describe very precisely step by step a project flow, and features required to implement. It can help us to avoid obstacles, tie-ups and questions related to flow, because every developer is able to go through the document and find a desired answer.

Secondly, you need to define a target what are we going to achieve and when. Based on this info developers can define plan of work easily. We have divided 3 month period into 15 milestones. In each end of milestone we talk what we have achieved, what has been done, what hasn’t been done and what are we going to do in next week.

Daily, also works well in our team, because we are able to monitor what is currently happening in project. And you can quickly help if someone has a problem.

Flow of solving issues is very simple(Justin configured a CI). We have two branches – master and testing. Writing tests is essential to do before writing code. If tests are ready and passed successfully we can create a pull request. Then other developers review our code and finally if everything is ok we can merge changes with testing branch.
