The statement "I have a dream" is a very famous quote by American activist Martin Luther King Jr.
I resonate very closely with that. Here is why and how ...
Almost 2 years ago, I had a dream ... a vision about a product that can help those working in large organizations understand the health of their products / projects at a quick glance, instead of having a team of people manually scrambling frantically to collate and collect the information needed to get a sense of quality about the products they support. I chose to call this product Test Trend Analyzer - TTA
Given that Automation is a key factor in ensuring the success, quality and time-to-market for products, I took that as a baseline requirement and came up with a basic high-level diagram for TTA:

| TTA - first diagram |
Finally, a couple of months ago, I found a bunch of passionate people, who also had some time, to try and implement this tool.
We came up with this vision for TTA:

| TTA Vision |
Accordingly, we planned, prioritized, spiked, did some prototypes, did demos and showcases and got a base usable product completed.
This is a open-source project, available on github with more information about it on the github wiki.
The technology stack used is: RoR with mysql db.
TTA falls in the Big Data + Visualization space - specific to Testing.
Watch this space for more information about TTA and the currently supported features. Email out to me if you need more specific information, or have questions on how can you use TTA, etc.
How can you contribute?
Given that we have implemented only a few basic features right now, and there are many more in the backlog, here is how you can help:
- Suggest new ideas / features that will help make TTA better
- Use TTA on your project and provide feedback
- More importantly, help in implementing these features
As a follow-up to our vodQA Geek Night - Behavior Driven Testing (BDT) workshop last year, we are conducting another workshop in ThoughtWorks, Pune focused on building a Test Automation Framework - the "right-way".Here you will use your prior test automation experience to build a test automation framework from "scratch".This will be a 2.5 / 3 hour workshop - starting at 5.30pm. Please plan to come in by 5.15pm latest to complete the registration formalities.

Anyone heard or used the tool "thucydides"- for ATDD / BDD / BDT before?
Whats your review / thoughts on it? Any pros / cons?
http://www.thucydides.info/
https://github.com/thucydides-webtests/thucydides
From their website: "Thucydides is a tool that lets you use WebDriver-based unit or BDD tests to write more flexible and more reusable WebDriver-based tests, and also to generate documentation about your acceptance tests, including a narrative description of test, along with the corresponding screen shots, and also high-level summaries and aggregations of the test results."
Here is some information / links to potential tools / resources to use for security testing:
