BUGman!
An insider's view of Testers' lives and how they manage everything in corporate world.
Working in the same company for the same people, but they have their differences.
Yet you can't ignore both of these view points.
The authors have penned down their experiences in mere 76 pages with accuracy and clarity.
THIS very thing is wonderfully impressive.
This is not the book that teaches you how to find bugs but it does teach you how to keep your cool.
By showing examples of different mindset's people, it provides you ideas for deciding what to become and what not to become.
In the era of Technology and Development, if one fails to learn about new applications, he beckons the troubles for himself.
Authors urge the readers and beginners to learn, learn and learn as lot as they can.
Be Merciless when it comes to you, is what this book has conveyed!
And conveyed SUCCESSFULLY!
BUGman speaks volumes about the authors' expertise in IT industry and testing.
Being a part of corporate industry, I could myself relate to this book quite easily.
What impressed me most was even non-IT people can also appreciate this work.
Cover says a lot about what to expect from BUGman!
The importance of education and their applications' necessity is demonstrated in humorous, sarcastic and quite pedagogic way.
Dialogues are witty and enjoyable specially inside the interview room.
What happens behind the screens was informative to watch. I congratulate the authors on that.
Verdict: A book that will be beneficial for the newbies in IT field.

With a quirky title and an edgy cover, this book snagged my eye. I would not normally read a book about "bugs" ... but being familiar with Tim Down's communication gifts, I just had to read it. I picked it up to read ,once I began, I couldn't put it down ... I even stood at the kitchen counter and read while I was waiting for my bread to toast at breakfast ... lunch ... and dinner. It had that kind of "holding power."
The writing is clever, intelligent, humorous, and suspenseful and the words are so visual that the whole time I was reading I was picturing the book as I would a movie. This would be a great novel to adapt for the Silver Screen.

No, this BUGman book is not the series by Tim Downs, but about a more sophisticated community of people we call software engineers. In this age of IT, perhaps, we all know what a ‘bug’ means when the word is used as a technical jargon. A software bug is a flaw, mistake, or error which may cause unwanted results or deviate the program from producing expected efficiency. In the book “BUGman”, the author-duo Sachin Kodagali and Santosh Avvannavar has tried to portray the life of a software engineer as a tester; the problems a fresher may face, the process of interview, the right approach to the job and so on.
Though the topic appears to be a technical and monotonous one, the authors have skillfully presented it mostly through the personal experiences of two pivotal characters, Sa (Sachin) & Sa (Santosh). The two characters are in perfect contrast with each other. While Sachin is a diligent, hard-working, serious guy, Santosh’s motto is not to “work hard, but work hardly!” But both of them are well aware of their responsibilities and execute them properly showing the readers the way to survive and succeed in the IT industry.
Sachin conforms with the norms that a software professional should not only learn the existing technologies but also be future ready. It’s also an important part of the job to co-ordinate with the team as and when required. Practical knowledge is of utmost importance for theoretical concepts don’t always help to trap a bug.
The book shows how one should step into IT industry without stumbling and, what are the different aspects that can transform a run-of-the-mill engineer to a proficient one. The book rightly says, that, there are copious engineers in the country these days; to succeed, one needs to follow the rules and understand the way industry works.
Let me cite a few quotes from “BUGman”
"In IT, there is nothing like ‘all of a sudden’.
Candidates should know about the Company, its work, domain and what will one gain if given an opportunity to work there.
Education is meant to increase the confidence of a person to face the world.
Tuition is to studies and training is to job, but the gradation never stops (on Appraisal)."
The authors have succeeded in keeping the narrative tone light throughout the book using simple, lucid language. The occasional gleams of humour even make you smile amidst the technical jargons used.
I highly recommended the book to the freshers who are about to start their professional life, to all the students and even to seasoned ‘bugmen’. Because, as it has been said, in IT, you learn something new each day.

Book is simple and yet explains real cubicle world in IT
It has all the lifelines a student (who aspires to be a Engineer) needs, filled with recipes of real time work scenarios.
Winner though is the Interview process and how things happen on the ground (inside the meeting rooms) and how a student can prepare himself to succeed, yet if he fails he knows what is the next step towards success.

The book presents technical aspects in its simplest possible way, even a layman could understand it. This makes the book stand out. A good work by the authors
February 6, 2017
A Very Concise Manual for every student, who wants to build his career in IT , especially a Testing Engineer.
Very well narrated with a pinch of humor by Sachin and Santosh, The Book is a no-nonsense guide to face an interview for an IT company.
Would recommend this one to all the last year students , pursuing a course in Information Technology.
PS: I think the author needs to start working on quality of pages and cover designs to make his book appealing to larger audiences, after all, like it or not, Book is definitely bought by it's cover.

he recent book I want to review is BUGMan (Goodreads), written by Sachin Kodigali and Santosh Avvanavvar. I finished this book a while ago. As I sat through my break in the office and read through this, it reminded me of the chapter Pantry talkies. The story of the book is as follows.
“Knowing the unknown is better than not knowing at all.” Sa & Sa journey of ‘Testers’ & challenges. Sa and Sa unveils the journey of software professionals. Sa and Sa Unveil this journey, they show how the software industry works, people, organization, expectations, behaviours etc. Key thing we are trying to convey is to learn everyday, develop your skills and help share the knowledge
It talks about System Testers, who test systems in IT industry. They form a key role, as testing is as important a part in SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle) as any other part, if not more. It talks about two people in a firm, Sachin and Santosh who are testers. Sachin is a high performer, who focuses on the high achieving and how to get the work done. While Santosh, on the other hand, is an average performer and is the characteristic of the average Joe in an IT industry.
The way the differences between the two of them is clearly portrayed and that forms an opinion in the beginning of the story. Sachin focuses on completing his task, not involving gossip, coming early to work, working as much as he can get done through the day. On the other hand, Santosh, is exactly opposite to him. He whiles away his time in doing things that are not related to the project that he’s working on. He blames his boss for many things that he feels unfair. He wants to leave early on a Friday, no matter what the work load is present. He curses his boss under his breath, but takes the job that is given to him as he has no other choice. He has Monday blues, which form a part of Monday’s routine in every IT office. And the team heads, who end up asking the sub ordinates to suggest a decision, but end up taking up a decision that the sub ordinates have rejected. It shows in a wonderful way, in a brief manner, how the life of an IT system tester would look like.
Santosh’s (the author) experience with interviews has given him an edge over how an interview would go. And the suggestions he gives regarding that, although they might be technical jargon for people who work in a different field, it quite sums up the usual jargon in the specific field. After reading the way the views are mentioned, it would seem more like a manual for interviews (a basic one) rather than a description of the way of life of the System testers. A suggestion that I would give here would be put it somewhere at the end of the book in the manner that has been presented (bullet points), so that it would be of more use. Or at the end of the chapter. It was put right after the interview, which made the chapter itself feel like a manual.
The way the book is divided is commendable. Perfect organizing. Each of the weeks portrays a different aspect of the IT system tester and the way it has been shown is really great. Testing the system, working on deciding about the hires after work hours, doing the interviews on a weekend, returning back to their lives and continuing to give the time that they have to clock in. All these aspects are mentioned in a superb manner. The book is a small one and as it is a bird’s eye view, an elaborate explanation cannot be expected from it.
In the interview chapter, there was a little bit difficulty in understanding what was going on. The dialogues were not written in a way that we usually see, but it has been written as a conversation. Those dialogues involve thinking of various things, which when read quickly might seem like they are part of a conversation and feels a little odd. An improvement at that area is suggested.
Simplicity is a real win for this book. Dialogue writing needs to be improved.
Overall, I would give the book a rating of 3/5.

BUGman cubicle life and beyond its an interesting book about the work of software engineers. Its about technical subject how IT members are, How is the management of the companies.
All these things we can learn through this book. Authors are my mama Sachin Kodagali and his friend Santhosh Avannavar, book editor Rajashree Ghosh & proof readers Prasanna Desai, Shilpa Patil, Bharath Kumar and Jeevan.
Because of all these members now this book has achieved a great success now these books are available in Flipkart, Amazon, Paytm and many more.
In this book the chapters are classified as weeks (week 0 to week 6).
This is a very interesting and amazing book that has both jokes and seriousness. This book tells a lot about the IT companies their people management. I have read this twice but still its interesting to know about technical subjects.

The book actually makes you understand what the life is about an IT professional. I would not be surprised if people do find themselves as a part of it. It is normal in any IT professional's life to talk about manager in the tea break to vent their frustration and its presented here in a hilarious way using two People Sa & Sa. The person who is in IT field will not stop it because he will feel as if he is reading about himself, the long waits for weekend, the clever ways the manager gets the work done in his way and what exactly an Industry expects of any freshman or a Senior engineer or an architect in IT life in particular Testing profile. People who will be joining the Industry can get a fair idea about their life in IT field. I absolutely loved and finished in two hours. I recommend all the IT professionals to buy it and experience a walk down the memory lane and for the people who are yet to join this is a first hand experience . So do buy and read it.

A simple story that brings out the reality of so-called highly paid Software Engineers - to be more precise Tester Life. How the ideas are conceived and how they were being treated and what kind of sacrifice do they need to make were very well captured in this book.
The book is not to create a fear on the job or profile but a general awareness because not all who score well in academics can do well when it comes to practical work.
What makes this book an awesome one is the segregation of topics which were divided into weeks i.e from Week 0 to 6 which clearly portrays the life of a Software Professional in minute detail. A worthy attempt, is all I can say for sure :-)
Santosh and Sachin were the two main roles ably assisted by their manager Murthy. A short book but is surely worth the read.

Review initially posted on: https://dreambookreviews.wordpress.co...
Since the book was a small read, I decided to read on the bus, the lady next to me gave me a weird look and asked why I was reading children’s book?
I then started explaining it to her about the book and after 10 mins she was like “Oh you engineers have to read so much!”
I did not want to explain it further to her that it is not necessary to read every book that says “for engineers”. It is necessary to read the books that matter.
For me this book was something like a ‘manual for being a good employee’. Also a simple guide to understand how to crack an interview. My opinion is that the story could have been narrated well and there could be more to it.

BUGman...!
Thanks for the authors for giving the scenario that happens inside the IT industry. Freshers will be benefited by this man (BUGman book). I'm sure that all the bugs which are in the minds of software aspirants will be corrected after meeting this man (reading this book). It also very interesting to read that's because of the authors Sa&Sa for giving this in a funny way...
All students interested in software must have to read to give up their fears during their interview time.
Thank you...!
