Testing Times

Permalink 09:05:57 am, Categories: Day To Day

So, I was testing some software yesterday, in my professional capacity as a software tester. It was going pretty well, I managed to find some impressive bugs. And I was just getting ready to send an awesome report to the relevant programmer.

Something along the lines of "DUDE, IT's, LIKE, COMPLETELY BROKEN!" Only with longer words and, if possible, an even greater sense of evil glee.

But then the chap in question sent me a message saying "Nick, I've just noticed it's completely broken, hold off testing for now".

I was pretty upset, I'll be honest. And then, when I was told to resume testing, the problems had more or less been fixed. Oh, the inhumanity.

Well this was as interesting as usual. Good work.

Compared to the normal events of our office, that was like a party. Or a dragon flying overhead, towing a zeppelin.

For some reason, that little anecdote does not make me at all nostalgic for the office. It's nice having a job where I get to make things, not break things...
