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
Looking to hire some pessimistic testers to test you app thoroughly before it goes to market?
Pay only for the time spent on testing.
