Atlassian?s Bonfire Allows Developers To Quickly Test Applications For Bugs
Product development software company Atlassian is releasing a new offering today, called Bonfire, which allows developers to perform rapid-fire testing and reporting of web applications for bugs. Bonfire, a web plug-in, integrates with Atlassian's bug and issue tracker JIRA, and essentially allows developers to test web applications and report any bugs while on the same page as the application, without leaving the screen. With Bonfire, developers can submit bugs directly from the browser, add annotated screenshots with each bug, and setup test sessions to track activity against a requirement or user story.

Final space shuttle mission testing system to turn urine into a sports drink
Atlantis may have taken off on the last ever space shuttle mission last week but that doesn’t mean it has finished racking up firsts. Along with ferrying its last batch of supplies to the International Space Station (ISS), Atlantis is also carrying a urine recycling system that is designed to convert astronaut’s urine into a sports drink. The Forward Osmosis Bag (FOB) system will reportedly be tested by one of the four-man crew towards the end of the shuttle’s 12-day mission...
