I found my first bug!

[MuffD]

I started a new job with a new CDMA company as a SW Test Engineer and after 1 week here I finally found some bugs that have not been found already with the phones. I found like 10 last week but unfortunately they were stuff that had already been documented.
I was starting to feel kinda useless for a little bit till now

Congrats

heh...

Do they actually do something about the bugs tho?

 

[MuffD]

I just got done writing up the Error report so hopefully our SW Engineers will try to fix it. This makes the phone crash every single time you do it so they should fix it.

Verizon or Sprint PCS??

or Qualcomm?

is this CDMA or CDMA2000??

Damn, I thought this was gonna be one of those cool insect photo threads.

Cool! Testing is a Good Thing.

Planning to stick with testing or move into development? (It's even funner )

If it was, he'd have been remarkably sheltered.

Hmm, Samsung must be involved somewhere

I think it would be fun to write embedded software on phones.

Me too, especially as they move towards being phone + PDA + media player. And it's fun to work on something where size and runtime matter instead of just throwing more MB and MHz at the problem.

I even applied to BSquare (CE software co.) in '00 after my previous employer was sold to Thomson Learning, but I had a couple of other offers before I had a chance to interview. A good thing, since BSquare has had to downsize after MS stopped giving them much CE work.

payoff the programmers to create bugs for you. Job Security owns...

I don't want to say exactly where here (PM if you really want to know) but I will say this much, I used to work for Qualcomm, then Kyocera-Wireless. There is only two other places in San Diego that offer CDMA phones.

Good idea!

On second thought us testers don't have enough money to pay of any programmers..

Fellow QA person. So true, so true. Thank gawd most programmers aren't perfect.
