Bugs in the Wild – BrainMine

Wednesday, June 17th, 2009

I was using a mind mapping tool called BrainMine. I found a bug that exhibited itself if you printed the mind map and then edited and/or moved a node afterwards. What do you think is going on underneath the covers here?  Would your automation have caught this? How would you automate this test?

The video is here

I wasn’t up on my BB Test assitant skills when this video was taken so you’ll have to infer my troubleshooting process from what you see in the video.

Bugs in the wild – Outlook – Useless Error message

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

What do I do with this information as a user? I don’t know how to troubleshoot this – nor do I have time to. Why can’t it tell me what RSS feeds it’s having a problem with.Useless Outlook Error Message.JPGOf course I searched for the error message using google. :) I searched for “outlook RSS feeds error” and “RSS feeds error 8004010F” neither of which yeilded a link to a solution.
