[QA] Introduction and Pair programming Friday for fun and profit

[Vikas Yaligar]

Hello ,

  Sorry for late reply. I had my first pair programming this Tuesday and it
was fun. We started with reviewing my patch[1] to Bug 58900[2]. Some of the
things I will follow next time would be:

 * check for all white spaces in file and maintaining same structure in
file.

 * check and confirm all tags you could add for the test.

After it was reviewed, Željko showed me how to use jenkins and jenkins job
buiilder. He made a simple job and deployed it to cloudbees using jjb.

I tried doing the same thing, but I got stuck at error:

raise JenkinsException('create[%s] failed' % (name))
jenkins.JenkinsException: create[TestApp] failed

after I execute:

jenkins-jobs --conf config/vikassy_job.ini update example-config/job.yaml

But generation of XML is working correctly.

Also I was going through jobs.yaml[3] files for browser tests, and found
that some jobs name does not match with browser(I don't know whether it was
supposed to be like that or not). I have reported a issue[4] about it.

Overall it was fun and great leaning experience. Thank you Željko to teach
me about jenkins. Hope to have more pair programming.

Thank you
