DuckDuckGo offers an awesome service that lets you search for items in Wikias, newspapers or other web sites using a Bang. Basically, you enter ! followed by the bang name and your search query. For example: !answers when do the narwhals bacon?.

And then DuckDuckGo will redirect you to the results on the specific web site. And guess what? Now you can search Speak Like A Brazilian using the !slbr bang in DuckDuckGo. Wanna see how it works? Go to www.duckduckgo.com and search for !slbr cara

This is an interesting case that I received via e-mail from G. M. after he read the post . Basically, using an approach similar to the testlink-plugin for Jenkins, one could send the coverage results to TestLink.

TestLink has requirements x test case coverage information, and Sonar, Jenkins, Cobertura and other tools give you source code x test coverage. Crossing these information could be interesting.

Yesterday a new version of Jenkins Testopia Plug-in was released. This version includes code to avoid printing null when a value returned from Testopia is null. Instead, it now prints an empty String (i.e.: “”).

It has been included i18n support too, with English, Brazilian Portuguese and Dutch (thanks to Peter Florijn) languages. If you use Testopia Plug-in and would like to contribute translating the plug-in, send a pull request.

Check the latest changes and read more about the plug-in on its Wiki page.

We are preparing a new release of tap4j in the upcoming days. It’s been a while since last release, and it is one of our favorite Java projects. tap4j is a complete implementation of the Test Anything Protocol (TAP) for Java. This test protocol has been created with Perl 1, about 1988, and can be extended with YAML.

This release will include only code enhancements, like javadoc, TODO/TBD/FIXME tags and code styles improvements. The repository has been migrated from under kinow unto tupilabs at GitHub. The issue tracking from SourceForge.net has been replaced by GitHub, as it is easier to manage Pull Requests and issues at the same place. And we also replaced CloudBees Open Source tap4j project by CloudBees BuildHive, as it also has a nice integration with GitHub.

Stay tuned, a new release is coming :D
