Question: Do you think there's interest in software QA consulting on here? 🤔 Like, a testing bounty or something? #asknostr

I see these jobs and apply and they call me up and it's like... ugh. I'd rather be testing Nostr stuff.

Hmm... good question. 🤔 If I were paid in sats, I'd probably expect less than from a fiat company, for starters. I tend to be really fast, which is probably bad for any model that involves paying by hour. I guess, maybe, depends on the size and complexity of the project, with a lump sum per project, maybe 200k sats for a detailed manual test report with improvement suggestions, with 100k for a follow-up test. More for automation.

I'm just finding the other sw projects "out there" so soul-crushing. It's like, I'm trying to end your business model in my side-gig. This is gonna get complicated. 🙄

Testing has fixed costs, is the thing, as I have to "read" into their system and understand their application and business logic, in order to test. Which I'm really good at, but still. It's not much different from coding bounties, in that way, but each testing round would be more efficient, so I'd expect less pay for them.

Gherkin is always nice, and mockups, screen shots, etc. I'm sorta overqualified to test the current Nostr projects, but I figure that they might eventually get bigger, and then my market would expand and I'd already have customers.

It wouldn't even only be me. My husband is a software engineer specialized in QA and doing code reviews, and DevOps stuff, and I bet I could get the GitCitadel team to help me out, if the workload rose. We're also good at Project Management and etc.

Yeah, the prices I named were for something larger or more complicated, like Highlighter. For someone with a smaller project, I'd probably also do more design/workflow work and help them market. I have a powerful npub.

We both tend to work for lots of different projects, doing specialized tasks. There are a couple of people on here, like that. It doesn't really make sense for us to do it only for one project, as the quality of our work depends upon transfer of knowledge. Some of us are also developers, but our primary contribution isn't product coding. I will happily keep posting issues for clients I actively use or that our project has a stake in, but it's nothing as advanced or useful as what they'd get for paying me, and I only do it when I'm in the mood. And it would probably mostly stop, once I get a day job.

I actually quit my fiatjob, to get nostr:npub1s3ht77dq4zqnya8vjun5jp3p44pr794ru36d0ltxu65chljw8xjqd975wz off the ground, but it hums along nicely, now, and my household is starting to eat the seed corn, so I have to do something else for income. There are actually a lot of remote requirements management, support, testing, etc. fiat positions open, but they all sound sort of boring. 😂 Was thinking about going back to logistics, instead. But then I'm really gone because then I'd be spending all day inspecting dangerous goods tanks at the port, or something.

Oh, really? Who is doing this?

I was just thinking that having another Nostr dev testing your entire software in a reproducible and extendable way and giving you productive feedback is more valuable than just haphazardly receiving bug reports from end users. But I don't know if anyone would agree enough that they'd pay money for it, or if they just want to stick with user-submitted issues. We can see that there isn't actually any direct financial incentive for Nostr devs, to ensure that their software works reliably well. It's a cost that they can't easily pass on, and more something that they would have to desire for its own sake. For the record, I haven't yet formally tested any Nostr products. #Alexandria will be the first.

Ah, a parallel bounty.

Same, bro. 😂 We were trying to think through the nested index structure, yesterday, and it turned into a multi-hour debate in three channels, to straighten it out. https://gitworkshop.dev/r/naddr1qq9yzmr90pskuerjd9sszrthwden5te0dehhxtnvdakqygxufnggdntuukccx2klflw3yyfgnzqd93lzjk7tpe5ycqdvaemuqcpsgqqqw7vskyayug/proposals/note187a6pmzk8py7pyz095g6jz9w38axc68yusdq0mr4kejm2v5rrj8qcm4f82

And quality requirements are nonfunctional requirements, so that's a level of abstraction higher.

Yes, I like the idea, but we have no excess equity to share.

I did read it. I like the model. I was just agreeing with the point that good bounties are quite difficult to write. I bet clearly formulated ones would be very popular, tho. I have a lot of experience in requirements engineering for companies, so I trust myself to write good requirements. I mean, people could pay me to write up the bounty requirements with your parallel system. 😂
