From Marijana’s diary: Spring Exchange Program in Bulgaria

Hello! 🙂 My name is Marijana Ševo, I am a scholar of BH Futures Foundation since last year. From 8th to 17th March I participated in Spring Exchange Program in Bulgaria as a part of a project founded by Erasmus+ named: “Supporting Female Youth from BiH and Montenegro in entrepreneurship, employment and leadership in ICT”. I spent 10 days in Bulgaria together with 40 girls and it was a pleasure meeting all those brilliant, empowering and curious human beings with refreshing energy. It's the kind of mindset you want to be around all the time because it insensibly pulls out a better version of yourself. All the people who were part of this event deserve a big thank you for contributing and creating this opportunity.

Momcilo Amovic je proveo 3 mjeseca na profesionalnom usavrsavanju u Australiji. “Zaista mislim da od svih zemalja u kojima sam bio, Australija je ostavila najjači utisak i mislim da možemo da učimo svaki dan od njih kako implementirati demokratiju na pravi način, kako uživati u različitostima i poštovati iste. Potrudiću se da prenesem sva svoja znanja i zapažanja na mlade ljude u Bosni i Hercegovini jer vjerujem kako i mi možemo krenuti tim putem ”

Stojanka Danilović: QA inžinjeri čuvaju obraz firme! / Stojanka Danilovic: QA engineers protect company's reputation!

U toku procesa razvoja softvera posebna pažnja se posvećuje njegovom kvalitetu. Kvalitet je jedan od ključnih faktora, jer je direktno povezan sa svim oblastima razvoja, a on definiše i kako je softver dizajniran i razvijen. O kvalitetu softvera, načinima testiranja, kao i situaciji u BiH po pitanju QA razgovarali smo sa našom stipendisticom i budućom QA inženjerkom Stojankom Danilović, koja zajedno sa nekoliko prijatelja organizuje meetupe softver testera iz BiH.

During the software development process, special attention is paid to its quality. Quality is one of the key factors, because it is directly related to all areas of development, and it directly defines how the software is designed and developed. About the quality of the software, testing methods, as well as the situation in BiH regarding QA, we talked with our scholar and future QA engineer Stojanka Danilović, who, together with several friends, organizes meetups for software testers from BiH.

Kompanije koje smo posjetili u Mostaru / The companies we visited in Mostar

Mi prošli vikend u Mostaru nećemo najviše pamtiti po nezapamćenoj buri u posljednjih nekoliko godina, nego po tome što je protekao u duhu nauke, inovacija, radionica i razmjene iskustava i ideja.

We will not remember last weekend for the biggest wind storm in Mostar in the past couple of years, but for the spirit of science, innovation, workshops, and exchange of experiences and ideas.
