Wow, this one i like. 2 for 1! You must be feeling inspired lately. I think the "works as designed", "configuration issue" are amongst your favourites. (ours too of course) As a developer, I see the world a little different I think. Our users/analysts cant be bothered to really specify what they want, so it is quite likely that I as the developer forget something they might consider trivial. I didn't know they were going to push the blue AND the red button together, did I? Nobody told me!
Hi Xina, fully agree. The problem is just that we should not enable new configs by default. I think, usually we stick to that unwritten law, but this time, there were quite a few exceptions which earn to be put on paper =;O)
It all started with a Commodore C128 with which I developed a simple ordering software that I used at my first company, a wholesaler of sports goods. It was no rocket science, but it was the trigger for me to slip into the IT Business right after I came back from Swiss Military. I never left IT business since. I scripted DCL (VAX/VMS), REXX (IBM) at a big pharmaceutical company, then studied Computer Science at ISBE (Bern, Switzerland), graduated with BSc and became a C++ software developer while working for a big and well known Swiss banking company. After a short sniff into the consulting world, I discovered the fascinating world of testing and test automation. It started with Rational Robot, then I switched to using InCisif (a Canadian solution), SOAPUI and Selenium/C#. Besides work, I am drawing cartoons about software testing. Some of the early cartoons had been published in US magazines but I never made a business of it. I am not spending too much time making a cartoon look perfect. I did not study arts or anything similar. I have a job as a quality manager and technical test analyst. This is where inspiration mainly comes from. Have fun!

Hahahahaha, the configuration issue problem :-) This is the problem if the system does everything

ReplyDeleteGreat drawings :-)! I really like your cartoons especially since I am working in the testing area as well... you hit the nail on the head!
ReplyDeleteThanX Dudo...yes, drawing the cartoons helps me direct some emotions into something funny that other people like you can share with me.
