Hi,
Zeljko, Thank you for approving my email.
Chris, Quilm Thank you for sending me other helpful links. I read about
manual features testing, browser testing using cucumber, and about saw the
video about the new tool article-feedback. I find both browser testing and
article feedback interesting. Well, I do not have any experience with
cucumber, but I would love to learn it through browser testing on
wikimedia. At the same time, I would like to test the article feedback tool
too.
I do not exactly remember how I came to know about how one could contribute
as a tester to wikipedia, but there is a possibility that I read about it
at http://thesocialtester.co.uk/volunteering-a-good-way-to-learn-testing/ !!
Well, let me know how and when I can start!!!!!
Thanks,
Renuka
