    Hi, I am ok doing stuff but will not be able to give a dedicated time. Like i can give 1 hr a day positively and more hours on other days. I am from telecomm backgroung in QA. I will be mostly interested in Automation stuff.

      (Assuming QA = quality assurance)

      If you are working on QA, part of your job is probably to analyze some logfiles and/or (test-)reports. If so, here are some ideas for you:

      • check available reports for some abnormal data and list those reports for deeper investigation
      • create some statistics, e.g. on errors
      • create some summary reports
      • add variety to your test-messages by dynamically exchanging some parameters prior to testing
      Of course all depends on your working environment, but probably knowledge on File::find (for traversing through many files) and regular expressions (for evaluating their content) will be handy

      HTH, Rata
