have been compiled from forwarded emails and internet resources. Thanks to the
ones who thought of them first.
Testing Definition
To tell somebody that he is wrong is called criticism. To do so
officially is called testing.
Sign On Testers’ Doors
Do not disturb. Already disturbed!
Experience Counts
There
was a software tester who had an exceptional gift for finding bugs. After serving
his company for many years, he happily retired. Several years later, the
company contacted him regarding a bug in a multi-million-dollar application
which no one in the company was able to reproduce. They tried for many days to
replicate the bug but without success.
In
desperation, they called on the retired software tester and after much
persuasion he reluctantly took the challenge.
He
came to the company and started studying the application. Within an hour, he
provided the exact steps to reproduce the problem and left. The bug was then
fixed.
Later,
the company received a bill for $50,000 from the software tester for his
service. The company was stunned with the exorbitant bill for such a short
duration of service and demanded an itemized accounting of his charges.
The
software tester responded with the itemization:
- Bug Report: $1
- Knowing where to look: $49,999
Signs that you’re dating
A Tester
- Your love letters get returned to you marked up with red ink, highlighting your grammar and spelling mistakes.
- When you tell him that you won’t change something he has asked you to change, he’ll offer to allow you two other flaws in exchange for correcting this one.
- When you ask him how you look in a dress, he’ll actually tell you.
- When you give him the “It’s not you, it’s me” breakup line, he’ll agree with you and give the specifics.
- He won’t help you change a broken light bulb because his job is simply to report and not to fix.
- He’ll keep bringing up old problems that you’ve since resolved just to make sure that they’re truly gone.
- In the bedroom, he keeps “probing” the incorrect “inputs”.
