Test Technique report – BB Test Assistant

Here is a tool that no tester should be without – BBTest Assistant made by blueberry software. I love this piece of software. It helps you show bugs that aren’t “reproducible”.

One time we logged a bug about performance of a certain part of our app. We were dismissed and told we were being impatient and too picky. We created a BBtest assistant movie of the perfomance showing the delay the user would go through. Guess what happened after that? Yup – the bug got fixed. The proof is in the video…. :)

Here is my bb test assistant video from CAST

    Thanks for suggesting bug repro videos. My company does not have BBTest Assistant but I found a decent free alternative (see my blog post).
