Optimistic Developer VS Pessimistic Tester

Developer and tester dilemma is well known and faced by everyone involved in software development cycle. Certainly, this comes to lots of in-house jokes. Below is a funny reminder on the difference between tester's and developer's point of view!

Optimistic Developer: The glass is half full.

Pessimistic Tester: The glass is twice as big as required.

Optimistic Developer: This code hasn't yet been tested. It's not known if it has any bugs.

Pessimistic Tester: This code hasn't yet been tested. It's not known if it works.

Optimistic Developer: We are 90% done.

Pessimistic Tester: We don't know when we'll be done, if ever.

Optimistic Developer: We will refactor the code to make it better.

Pessimistic Tester: They are throwing out the working code and replacing it with an unknown quantity.

Optimistic Developer: I only changed one line of code.

Pessimistic Tester: The entire system must be retested.

Optimistic Developer: The code is the design.

Pessimistic Tester: There is no design.

Optimistic Developer: We'll fix those bugs later, when we have time.

Pessimistic Tester: We never have enough time to fix the bugs.

Optimistic Developer: This build is feature complete.

Pessimistic Tester: The features exist; some are completely broken.

Optimistic Developer: Anything is possible, given enough time.

Pessimistic Tester: Everything has flaws, and given enough time I can prove it.

Optimistic Developer: Of course it will work.

Pessimistic Tester: It might work, but probably won't.

Optimistic Developer: One last bug fix, and we can ship tomorrow.

Pessimistic Tester: Fixing this one bug will likely lead to two more.

Optimistic Developer: Stop finding bugs, or we'll never be done.

Pessimistic Tester: Stop creating bugs, so I can find them all.

Optimistic Developer: There's no need for more tests.

Pessimistic Tester: Let's just run a few more tests to be sure.

Optimistic Developer: There is no I in TEAM.

Pessimistic Tester: We can't spell BUGS without U.

Optimistic Developer: That's an "undocumented feature".

Pessimistic Tester: That's a bug.

Optimistic Developer: I like to build things.

Pessimistic Tester: I like to break things.

Optimistic Developer: Sure, we can use the Beta version of this component in Production.

Pessimistic Tester: We should wait until version 2.1.
