YouTube
Studio – Sorting
Recently; I was using a YouTube Studio app on my Android based
smart phone. In YouTube Studio; I
was accessing various modules (not in any specific order) such as Dashboard,
Videos, Playlists, Comments, and Analytics, etc. While accessing the Videos section, I did use available
sorting options such as Most recent,
Most viewed. With Most viewed sorting options, I observed
something strange. All Videos – Most viewed sorting wasn’t working
appropriately.
I did try multiple things (clearing cache, clearing data, re-login) and was able to reproduce the Bug. Then I reported this Bug on YouTube Studio’s Twitter handle and Facebook.
Even after
reinstalling the app I was able to reproduce the Bug. Believe me; I was not
testing this app, I was just using it.
Below are a few more experiences from the Past.
Facebook
App – Synchronization
Facebook Mobile
App (Android version – 137.0.0.24.91) and Web were not in sync.
Facebook
App – Facebook
Memories
After sharing the
memory, No. of Years Ago value &
original Album Date & Time were getting displayed
incorrectly.
Facebook
App – Post
reaction count
Post reaction (Likes, emoticons such as "Haha") count was getting displayed incorrectly.
There are more such examples with the applications I use daily; but I will conclude the list here.
Conclusion –
As a Software Tester;
finding and reporting Bugs is one of the
crucial tasks; however, it makes more sense if a Tester can find and report the
Bugs which an end user don’t wish to see.
I agree; none of
the above Bugs were Critical or High in nature (for me as a User). But; as a
User I don’t wish to see it. :)
In all above
cases, I was using (not testing) the respective apps. That’s why… Be a User first; then a Tester
(As a Software
Tester) think of using the Software (of course; in addition to Testing the
Software).
Now a days industry forgot the intent of testing. QA is the first official user of the application.
ReplyDeleteNow a days automation is so overhyped that intent of testing or using is lost completely
If the development process is a good BDD flow then you will think as a user when creating test scenarios and analysing use cases.
ReplyDeleteAutomation requirements should factor in functional importance, likelihood to successfully automate and the maintainability of the automation. My humble opinion.
