Life Automated!!

As my day today work currently involves running test scripts, analysing NOK test cases, providing feedback reports to correct it,

I can observe the change in status on the testing productivity. Earlier if it was 50 - 60 test cases on an average, it now is 200 - 300 test cases. 

Coming from model based test development background, i could very well appreciate the difference between executable specifications and hand written code. The main intention behind all these developments of technology is making life simpler. In other words, providing intelligence to machines to help it do things for you.

I have become so technologically dependent, that i need a Google search to search something missing at home, need remote to control even switches, Automatize the cutting vegetables and missing spices also.. Although I am very sure it is not very far from such a scenario becoming real, such turn of events do indicate something.

We expect a similar approach when handling our fellow people.

We expect others to understand what we go through rather than we taking a step to understand others starting from home, in a professional setup, in a social gathering everywhere.

Expect parents to automatically understand our job pressures, peer pressures, financial situations rather than we also trying to understand them and fail to take lessons learnt from them.

Expect boss to automatically give us great work and substantial hikes rather than improving our caliber at work.

Expect our subordinates to automatically understand the big picture and work towards it.

In short, expect things in one's favor everywhere.

Are our brains so tuned to machine way of thing that it has forgotten empathy and expect inputs from external environment?

Something to Search Internally....

2013 The Year That Was:

I became a year older at Volvo with the passing of 2013, I would like to look back before curtaining the year that was.

With many colleagues joining InV and bringing their perspectives to the board it was a sign of expanding. But many friends also walked out as their thoughts went out of sync with that of here.

Started off with many onsite plans, project meetings, ideations, strategy goals, SOPs, Advanced engineering discussions; it was a very good learning experience. Although personally I was on parental leave for a couple of months, my friends here didn’t make me realize I was out of this place and coming back was so easy. With constrained budget targets, low on cost requirements, 2014 promises more challenges to look ahead. 

With Automation gearing up speed, I can imagine a scenario controlling all the rigs in lab simultaneously running scripts and doubling the productivity. HaHa  

 

Going forward , Can focus as a new team(Functional Verification) and increase the complexity of work as small teams are more efficient.

2014!!!!!- Unwinding
