FIRST DAY AT WORK
1. UI Testing of the TAULIA page - http://taulia.portnov.com/

- UI rules list
	* Labels have a colon character (:) at the end
	* are default values offered (if reasonable)
	* disable controls if user cannot use them
	* TAB order should be left-toright/top-to-bottom OR logical

- Writing bug reports on Taulia
   #1. Search results are given in 11 rows instead of 10 as per "Results per page" listbox
   #2. First row of "Status" column: replace "Rejcted" with "Rejected"
   #3. The word "Invoce #" is misspelled in the header of the first column
   #4. Link to the page "5" of search results is missing 
   #5. "Search my invoices" section: 8 out of 9 labels are missing their colon character at the end
   #6. Inconsistency in date formats: "Invoice date" text fields (6/5/2011) and the search results table (5-June-2011)
   #7. Remove column "Type" since it is redundant. It repeats what user already knows about the "Invoices" folder 
   #8. "1-Oct-2011" invoice should not get into search results for "6/5/2011" to "9/30/2011" range
   #9. Replace "Showing 422 invoices" with "Showing 1-10 of 422 invoices"
   #10. Data in the "Due Date" column is not provided in a common date format
   #11. Data in "PO #" column is provided in a common date format. Please make sure it is the way it should be.
   #12. Mismatch between "422" invoices found and 32 pages not being enough to accomodate that many invoices

- Rules of bug reporting

	* Solution vs Problem bug reports
    	* Rule of WWW: bug report is good enough if it provides 3 things
		- Where the problem happend
		- What happend
		- under Which circumstances
	* Inconsistency is a very solid reason for a bug report
	* One bug report for one problem to be verified fixed (exception are possible)

What is a software bug?
	- MISMATCH between expected and actual behaviour (look) of the application
