1887 |
| -<a href="https://pionir.org/">Pionir</a> on the development of open source hardware |
1888 |
| -for testers! |
1889 |
| -Pionir is a free school focused on creating a new generation of digital leaders, |
1890 |
| -an exponential culture and solving challenges using technology. They are located |
1891 |
| -in Kikinda, Serbia.</p> |

1895 |
| -<p>This is not our first collaboration - the students are already |
1896 |
| -aware of the Kiwi TCMS project and last year they participated in |
1897 |
| -<a href="/blog/kiwi-tcms-team/2019/08/09/kiwi-tcms-conference-presence-aw2019/">presentation & workshop hosted by Alex</a>. |

| -Zamphyr, the organization behind Pionir, is also one of the first open source projects |
1899 |
| -on our OSS program!</p> |

| -<h2>Black boxes for black-box testing</h2> |
1901 |
| -<p>Black-box testing is a method of software testing that examines the functionality |
1902 |
| -of the subject under test without peering into its internal structures or workings. |
1903 |
| -It is often performed by manipulating the possible inputs and examining the resulting |
1904 |
| -output. Experienced black-box testers often develop a hunch for where bugs my be |
1905 |
| -and it is not uncommon for them to discover some obscure problems nobody else thought |
1906 |
| -about. More often than not the basis for this is developing an understanding/expectation |
1907 |
| -how the SUT works by careful exploration during many iterations. Thus being able to |
1908 |
| -explore a SUT, observe its behavior, keep mental notes about possible relations |
1909 |
| -between input-behavior-output and analyzing what is happening under the hood becomes |
1910 |
| -an important skill for testers.</p> |
1911 |
| -<p>The idea for having something unknown to explore & train your skills first comes |
1912 |
| -from <a href="http://blackboxpuzzles.workroomprds.com/">James Lyndsay’s Black Box Puzzles</a> and |
1913 |
| -was more recently implemented by |
1914 |
| -<a href="http://blog.brainforit.com/2017/02/06/black-boxes-for-black-box-testing/">Claudiu Draghia</a>. |
1915 |
| -Now it's our turn!</p> |
1916 |
| -<h2>Project description</h2> |
1917 |
| -<p>Pionir will be developing hardware black boxes for teaching exploratory testing in |
1918 |
| -cooperation with Kiwi TCMS. We have dedicated |
1919 |
| -<a href="https://opencollective.com/kiwitcms/expenses/18960">€2000 from our bounty program</a> |
1920 |
| -for students of the free school towards completing this project.</p> |
1921 |
| -<blockquote> |
1922 |
| -<p>The goal of the project is to produce at least 3 boxes and reference designs that will |
1923 |
| -serve as a didactic tool for teaching, but also be free and open hardware, and as such, |
1924 |
| -available to everyone to build from source.</p> |
1925 |
| -<p>This project will be trusted to the students of the free school who will get opportunity |
1926 |
| -to take part in the challenging process of building a digital appliance, |
1927 |
| -from designing the machine logic, to develop and prototype hardware.</p> |
1928 |
| -</blockquote> |
1929 |
| -<p>The project includes designing, assembling, programming, documenting and delivering this |
1930 |
| -hardware to us! Everything is expected to be open source: list of components, |
1931 |
| -assembly instructions, 3D design files, source code, documentation and instructions! |
1932 |
| -Our goal is that this will be relatively cheap and easy to build so everyone else |
1933 |
| -can build their own boxes. |
1934 |
| -During the next several months there will be new repositories created under |
1935 |
| -<a href="https://github.com/kiwitcms">https://github.com/kiwitcms</a> to host the various boxes.</p> |
1936 |
| -<p>The black boxes are expected to be available in October 2020 - just in time for the |
1937 |
| -upcoming conference season where members of the larger testing and open source |
1938 |
| -communities will be able to practice with them!</p> |
1939 |
| -<h2>Call for sponsors</h2> |
1940 |
| -<p>We are also calling upon teams and organizations who use Kiwi TCMS in their |
1941 |
| -testing workflows. Please consider making a one-time donation or |
1942 |
| -becoming a regular sponsor via our |

| -<a href="https://opencollective.com/kiwitcms#section-contribute">Collective</a>. |
1944 |
| -You can contribute as low as € 1! The entire budget will be distributed to the community!</p> |
