Wings of Wisdom (WoW)


Article written by Sreenivas Mothukuru

Any company is a combination of people with various skill sets and different work experiences. However, it doesn't matter how many competent employees a company have unless they come out and share their wisdom with others. 

It is not about sharing knowledge about Java or SQL or Selenium ... It's all about learning from others experiences (i.e. what worked well and what didn't). 

The purpose of "WoW" is to push Senior staff to share their rich worth sharing experiences within specified time (15 minutes) with others. At the max. four members can share their experiences in an hour. This way people who attend the talk will know new concepts / ideas / solutions within an hour. If any  listener is interested to know further they can meet the presenter offline. This event can happen once every month / quarter / once or twice a year. Frequency of the event will largely depends on team member's learning curve at office and "willing to share" attitude. The more team members learn (year after year) the more will be frequency of such events.

If nobody comes forward then management can safely assume that either team members are not learning much or not willing to share knowledge with others (which is a serious problem).

This way employees working in a company can learn more, choose better options, avoid a few pitfalls, change for betterment, etc. from others experiences so as to become good employees.

Good employees make better companies, better companies make best nations!

How QA Matrix Meet Dev Metric?

Article written by   Sreenivas Mothukuru Most recently our team has received a user story from Product Owner (PO) where in we are asked to compare the records in excel sheet with the data in MySQL database to look for the matching records. At first glance the requirement sounds pretty simple and for a few minutes I was in an impression that the task can be done quickly. Now the million dollar question is "When the requirement is so simple ... what made PO delegate the task to our team?" This question encouraged me to revisit and review the user story requirements in detail. Then I understood that we need to compare each record from Excel sheet (i.e., ~1200 records) with the data in MySQL table (i.e., ~ 190,00,000 records ) to look for the matching records. In brief, this task demands enormous comparisons to get desired result. One of the solutions is to pick each record one by one from Excel sheet and query MySQL database. This way most of the comparison wil

Is it an ATTITUDE or qualification that matters?

Article written by   Sreenivas Mothukuru A few days back I went to a roadside stall with my friends. We all had Pani Puri  and  Mirchi Bajji . Stuff was very delicious; we all appreciated the stall owner for maintaining good quality. During the conversation with the shop owner, I was surprised to know that the person who is preparing/serving Pani Puri and Mirchi Bajji is an Engineering graduate! In another incident, while I was on my way to airport (Dubai trip) my cab driver was curious about my company and my work. When I asked the reason for his curiousness he slowly said that he is an engineering graduate, working part time as a cab driver and searching for jobs. These incidents made me think about the education system, any value added by bachelor/master degrees, opportunities within corporate offices, competency level with the so called degrees at workplace, etc. Does a mere bachelor or masters degree add value to a person’s profile? Do the emerging Graduates really have the p
