I believe anyone can build Electronics Circuits. And I have written a series of tutorials to test my belief. Yes, it is true. Anyone can learn and build electronics circuits. It doesn’t matter if you are an engineer or not. Learning electronics is easy if you ignore your self-doubt and move ahead to build the circuit. Plenty of people with […]
Arduino Tutorial Series for Testers
Arduino Tutorials for Testers: Ultrasonic Sensor
In this tutorial, you will learn about how to interface ultrasonic sensor with Arduino and how to measure the distance of an object using ultrasonic sensor. This is the sixth tutorial of our ‘Arduino tutorials for testers’ series. We are presenting some of the most commonly used hardware components along with some basics of electronics theory. So, if you are […]
Arduino Tutorials for Testers: LCD Display
In this tutorial, you will learn about how to interface LCD Display with Arduino and display a message on LCD Display. This is the fourth post of our hands-on, Arduino tutorial series. Follow along and you will produce something useful at the end of each tutorial. We also cover just enough electronics theory for you to be able to understand […]
Arduino Tutorials for Testers: Servo Motors
This is the third tutorial of Arduino tutorial series. In this tutorial, you are going to learn about how to interface Servo Motor with Arduino and how to control the movement of Servo Motor from the Serial Monitor. Background about this tutorial series We think that testers who get comfortable with hardware are going to have many more testing opportunities […]
Arduino Tutorials for Testers: build a Light Dimmer
In this tutorial, you will learn about Ohm’s Law, how to build a Light Dimmer and two important basic modules/commands of Arduino i.e. Analog Read and Analog Write. This is the second installment in Arduino tutorial series. We have designed the series to be hands-on. You will produce something useful at the end of each tutorial. You will also learn […]
Arduino Tutorials for Testers: build a door bell
This is the first installment of our tutorial series on Arduino. In this tutorial, you will learn about how to build a DC Door Bell and two basic but important modules/functions/commands: Digital Read and Digital Write. Why this post? Arduino on a software QA site? Huh? Well, we think the tech world is changing enough that testing will have to […]
SSH using Python Paramiko
Recently, as part of an automated test, we needed to SSH into a server, toggle a service and then check the response on a web application. We used the Python module Paramiko. We ended up writing simple wrappers around the most common actions test automation may need to perform over SSH. In this post, we will share the same. We […]

Bitbucket integration with Jenkins
In this post, we will learn to setup Continuous Integration using Jenkins and Bitbucket. As soon as a commit happens on Bitbucket, it should trigger a Jenkins Job. To do this, we are going to create webhook on Bitbucket and supply it to a Jenkins job. This webhook will notify Jenkins about all new commits, information about the branch, commits […]
Testing an NLG application
We recently discovered the concept of Natural Language Generation. It felt like a nice challenge for testing. We researched around and found that there were not many guides on how to test software used for Natural Language Generation. We decided to take advantage of Cunningham’s Law and post our thoughts on how to test natural language generators. NOTE: To make […]
