< and > Marks in blogspot.

In my previous post i had to display an xml tags. As usual i wrote the blog and do publish.. :( Ooops.. nothing can see except the first line. The reason was those tags are identified as markup language. Hmm... So the solution should be simple. Use the HTML character entries for < and > marks.

tomcat-users.xml sample.

The tomcat fresh copies doesn't has the admin and manager roles defined in the tomcat-users.xml file. So i put this sample xml for future use. ;)


<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> 
<tomcat-users>
<role rolename="admin"/>
<role rolename="manager"/>
<role rolename="tomcat"/>
<role rolename="role1"/>
<user username="admin" password="secret" roles="manager,admin"/>
<user username="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat"/>
<user username="role1" password="tomcat" roles="role1"/>
<user username="both" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat,role1"/>
</tomcat-users>

Gmail's email addresses has children.

There is a fantastic feature in gmail's email addresses. Let say if my email address is abc@gmail.com. If someone send a mail to abc+xyz@gmail.com it will received to me. [huhhh.... ;)]
The biggest advantage i saw is when we are giving our mail address for a group or something else we can join their name to our mail address and give it. After that we can create a filter for that mail address. So we don't need to think which subject they will use or which from address will they use.

Bugzilla dashboard.

For a QA person it is better to have a dashboard in the Bugzilla which shows the summary of bugs related to the quality checked projects. Because it is a common thing that the opened bugs will remains in the system as resolved. Sometimes as "New" too. Because of those reasons i thought to create an dashboard. [is that sound funny.... ;)] I found that bugzilla has a good API. So i just need to create an attractive interfaces (with color full charts and bla blaa.. ) and little more back end works.

However i got a new idea. It's more simpler than previous. Bugzilla has a feature called "Reports". You can find it at the top menu bar in a bugzilla page. You can generate reports in three dimensional (mm... means X axis Y axis and the type of the table). Just need to choose one or more fields as your axes, and then refine your set of bugs using the rest of the form. [little bit copy paste from report page.. ;)]. Ok... what you have to do is select "Status" for the Horizontal axis and "Products" for the vertical axis. Keep the multiple tables as "". Then select the "Products" that you have quality checked. Then put a tick for "the reporter" in "Email address and bug numbers" criteria and put your mail address in the relevant text box. (Remember to deselect all in "Status" list box.) Press search. 

Okay.. You will get the summary report. Now what you have to do is make it book marked. 

Your dashboard is successfully installed...!!!
