QA Hates You

I wish someone would ask me that question in an interview just so I could say, “A squirrel.”

A half-crazed Mississippi squirrel.

Not me, and not really the magazine. It’s only the Web site, but it is Ben Simo:

Nearly 20 million Americans have now experienced the broken Obamacare website first hand. But Ben Simo, a past president of the Association for Software Testing, found something more than a cumbersome login or a blank screen—clear evidence of subpar coding on the site.

Congrats, Ben!

Cracked (I put the name in italics because it was a magazine in my day, sonny, and I fancy myself the IT world’s Sylvester P. Smythe) has a piece entitled 5 Reasons Tech Companies Make Bad Gadgets (An Inside Look) that you might want to read.

It’s not about software per se, but it looks awfully familiar.

A quote commonly attributed to Napoleon says:

Rascality has limits; stupidity has not.

I’m testing this application as rascally as I can, but I am only one member of the team, and the users are infinite monkeys with infinite typewriters and hammers and stone tablets.

Am I being stupid enough? How can I be more stupid?
