Choipd's Software Testing

It was fantastic experience! Before one month ago, I was totally new to s/w testing. Now I have read a introductory book, Software Testing 2nd edition by Ron Patton. This book brings me a solid foundation on this field. After reading this book, I took a interview at NHN Serivce. At that time my knowledge had enhanced enough to pass that exam and the interviews. During this period, I met a good community for software testing, STEN. STEN stands for Software Testing Enignneer Network. This community let me know how to improve my knowledge on s/w testing. I heard from this community about a education based on the ISTQB foundation level. ISTQB is the International Software Testing Qualification Board, it is an aka standard for s/w testing qualification and education in over the 60 countries. ISTQB builds and develops the body of knowledge on s/w testing. I think it is quite acceptable for whole industry.

For last five days, 40 hours, I took the ISTQB Foundation course by STA consulting. KIPA, Korea SW Industry Promotion Agency gave me a spoonsership, 90% of education fee, so I just paid only 10%. How nice! The lecture is fantasitic for me. First of all, the structure of the lecture is very well organized. Here is the outline of this course;

1st day - Introduction to s/w testing, the definition of s/w testing and necessity, V-model, testing organization.
2nd day - Specification based testing design methods - equivalence partitioning, boundary value analysis, decision table testing, pairwise testing, state-transition testing, use-case testing.
3rd day - Structure based testing design methods - coverage, basis path testing, control-flow testing, elementary comparison testing,
4th day - Experience based testing method - classification tree method (CTE tool), Exploratory Testing, Case Maker
5th day - Risk based tesitng method - Risk analysis, review and testing automation

I am appriciate to the lecturer, Lee, Hyun-joo. She gave me a good foundation for this career. And I thank STA, KIPA, and STEN.

I encountered an error when i build the PythonMagick 0.7 in OpenSUSE 10.3.
The error message is like this;
it seems registered.hpp has problem. I update the boost to new. Then the error has disappeared.

Here is the diff;

It is too hard to understand this code, isn't it?

I have a chance to study popular script languages, python and ruby. I always want to study these since i had heard them before. Fortunately, my one client want to make a image management web service. So i choose python as backend and flash(actionscript) as a client. Now i am enjoying hacking python. It is really exciting experience.

And ThoughtWorks gave me a test as a procedure of interview. They gave me to choose a language to implement the test of Java, Ruby, and C#. I had a little experience on Java and C#, but i choose Ruby because i want to learn it and use it. So in three days, i learned by online documents and solved the problem. That is also great experience. How could programming is so fun? I am so proud of these two programming languages. I'll polish it  in a short period. It is a good challenge for me.
