Some famous quotes about Software Testing

"The last project generated a ton of paper and it was still a disaster, so this project will have to generate two tons." (Lister, DeMarco: "Peopleware")

"Testing is a skill. While this may come as a surprise to some people it is a simple fact." (Fewster, Graham: "Software Test Automation")


"To find the bugs that customers see - that are important to customers - you need to write tests that cross functional areas by mimicking typical user tasks. This type of testing is called scenario testing, task-based testing, or use-case testing." (Brian Marick)

"The more you improve the way you go about your work, the harder the work will be." (Lister, DeMarco: "Peopleware")

"Testing a product is a learning process." (Brian Marick)

"Most of us are pretty comfortable with the way we are, what we're doing and how we operate. But today the typical organization is telling the middle manager that he has to be a different kind of manager. These middle managers have been promoted throughout their careers and gotten bonuses based on their performance, but that's now history. ..." (Carr, Hard, Trahant: "Change Process")

"The projects most worth doing are the ones that will move you down one full level on your process scale." (Lister, DeMarco: "Peopleware")


"First law of Bad Management: If something isn't working, do more of it." (DeMarco: "Slack")

"The real reason for the use of pressure and overtime may be to make everyone look better when the project fails." (DeMarco, "The Deadline")

"Projects that set out to achieve 'aggressive' schedules probably take longer to complete than they would have if they have started with more reasonable schedules." (DeMarco, "The Deadline")


"The real complexity in our jobs is that all planning is done under conditions of uncertainty and ignorance. The code isn't the only think that changes. Schedules slip. New milestones are added for new features. Features are cut from the release. During development, everyone - marketers, developers and testers - comes to understand better what the product is really for." (Brian Marick)

"Companies that downsize are frankly admitting that their upper management has blown it." (Lister, DeMarco: "Peopleware")

"Everything really interesting that happens in software projects eventually comes down to people." (James Bach)

"We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it. Through this work we have come to value: Individuals and interactions over processes and tools, working software over comprehensive documentation, customer collaboration over contract negotiation, responding to change over following a plan." (Agile Software Development Manifesto)


"But there's more to defining processes and coordinating people than assigning someone to dream up a checklist and get it blessed in a staff meeting." (James Bach)

"If the date is missed, the schedule was wrong. It doesn't matter why the date was missed. The purpose of the schedule was planning, not goal-setting." (DeMarco: "Slack")

"Exploratory testing can be described as a martial art of the mind. It's how you deal with a product that jumps out from the bushes and challenges you to a duel of testing. Well, you don't become a black belt by reading books. You have to work on it. Happy practising." (James Bach)

"Management involves heart, gut, soul and nose. So ... lead with the heart, trust your gut ..., build soul into the organisation, develop a nose for bullshit." (DeMarco, "Deadline")


"Process obsession is the problem. Process obsession is not just an anomaly that occurs now and again. It is an epidemic." (DeMarco: "Slack")


"... our basic ideas about what are better or worse practices are strongly influenced by people we perceive as knowing how to make software." (James Bach)


"The danger of standard process is that people will miss chances to take important shortcuts." (DeMarco, "Deadline")


"I see design standards that don't tell you how to come up with a good design (only how to write it down), employee evaluation standards that don't help you build meaningful long-term relationships with staff, testing standards that don't tell you how to invent a test that is worth running." (DeMarco: "Slack")

"It's more about good enough than it is about right or wrong." (James Bach)


"The ultimate management sin is wasting people's time." (Lister, DeMarco: "Peopleware")


"The major problems of our work are not so much technological as sociological in nature." (Lister, DeMarco: "Peopleware")

"We all tend to tie our self-esteem strongly to the quality of the product we produce - not the quantity of the product, but the quality." (Lister, DeMarco: "Peopleware")


"The only person who likes change is a wet baby." (Carr, Hard, Trahant: "Change Process")

"Documentation is not understanding, process is not discipline, formality is not skill." (Jim Highsmith)

"A fool with a tool is still a fool." (Grady Booch)


"We are still in the infancy of naming what is really happening on software development projects." (Alistair Cockburn, "Agile Software Development")


"Quality is free, but only to those who are willing to pay heavily for it." (Lister, DeMarco: "Peopleware")

"A good model guides your thinking, a bad one warps it." (Brian Marick)


“There is probably no job on earth for which an ability to believe six impossible things before breakfast is more of a requirement than software project management. .... The business of believing only what you have a right to believe is called risk management." (DeMarco, Lister: "Waltzing with Bears")

"Ever Tried. Ever failed. No matter.
Try again. Fail again. Fail better."
(Samuel Beckett, "Worstward Ho")

"People can't embrace change unless they feel safe. ... A lack of safety makes people risk-averse." (DeMarco, "The Deadline")

"A day lost at the beginning of a project hurts just as much as a day lost at the end. ... There are infinitely many ways to loose a day ..but not even one way to get one back." (DeMarco, "The Deadline")


"This is not the end of the world, although you sure can see it from here." (The Tangent, "The music that died alone")


"You can't get people to do anythink different without caring for them and about them. To get them to change, you have to understand (appreciate) where they're coming from and why. (DeMarco, "The Deadline")


"If we fail, we fall. If we succeed - then we will face the next task." (Tolkien, "Lord of the Rings", Gandalf's comment on IT projects).

"It is ever so with the things that men begin: there is a frost in Spring, or a blight in Summer. and they fail of their promise." (Tolkien, "Lord of the Rings", Gimli's comment on IT projects).


"Any process that tries to reduce software development to a "no brainer" will eventually produce just that: a product developed by people without brains." (Any Hunt, Dave Thomas, "Cook until done")

"Winners never talk about glorious victories. That's because they are the ones who see what the battlefield looks like afterwards. It's only the losers who have glorious victories." (Terry Pratchett, "Small Gods")


"No counsel have I to give to those that despair. Yet counsel I could give, and words I could speak to you. Will you here them? They are not for all ears. ... Too long have you sat in shadows and trusted to twisted tales and crooked promptings." (Tolkien, "Lord of the Rings", the IT-Consultant Gandalf persuades a new customer)

If I understand aright all that I have heard, I think that this task is appointed for you, ... and that if you don't find a way, no one will. This is the hour of the QA, when they arise from their quiet cubicles to shake the towers and counsels of the Great. Who of the Wise could have foreseen it? Or, if they are wise, why should they expect to know it, until the hour has struck?" (Tolkien, "Lord of the Rings", a motivational speech of CTO Elrond).

You can pass some time, relieve some stress, and spend time with family and friends playing video games. Today's versatile online games can help achieve everything from fitness to improved intellect. Figure out how you can have the best time gaming by using the article that follows.

If you are thinking about buying some new games, join a discussion forum where gamers share reviews of their favorite games. Such forums can provide great information. You will find straight forward reviews that can help you determine whether or not to purchase a product. They write reviews that are honest and can be trusted.

IF you want to find discount games for kids, look at sales in your area. Some video rental businesses are hurting now. Keep your eyes open, and you may see stores that are going out of business and offering merchandise at steep discounts. Usually the discs are still good but may need a cleaning.

You are able to get your rest when you die! If you have used this statement before to justify your game playing, you are not alone as many believe it to be true. However, this is false! Make sure you get a good eight hours snooze time in each night, to be ready and able to strategize yourself to the next level!

If you have children, be sure to limit the time that your child spends on video gaming. More than two hours a day can strain their eyes and interfere with other activities.

Check out ratings when buying games for children. There is a big reason why computer games have these ratings. If the game has a rating of M or A, you should not buy it for your kids. The ESRB website will provide more information about the video rating system.

Nowadays, many popular online games come with options to add downloadable content, or DLC. These are extras that you must pay for in order to expand the game. While it is nice to treat yourself to a great game, always be mindful of pricing. Add on DLC can add a staggering cost to the game.

If you are buying a new gaming xbox, make sure that everything works after you purchase it. Even if you're not going to use every accessory for it, check the various ports to see if they're in working condition. If you discover a problem months after your purchase, such as a broken headphone jack, you won't be able to exchange the xbox for a new one.

Always familiarize yourself on the novice levels before going on to the more demanding levels. These games are pretty difficult, and trying on rookie can help you build skills. After you have mastered the control, buttons and functions of the game, then move on and challenge yourself.

Check the Internet for recommendations and tricks for you favorite games. When you get stuck somewhere in a game, it can frustrate you and maybe even make you give up. Consulting a walkthrough or asking other gamers on a message board is the surest way to conquer that tough level and start enjoying the game again.

Figure out how to operate the safety and parental controls of any gaming system that comes into your home. You can likely make adjustments that keep kids from viewing mature content. Some allow each gaming profile to be customized separately, allowing adults to enjoy games not meant for younger audiences.

You can enjoy online games just for fun, or you can get a world of education and enrichment from them. Hopefully you have learned all you need to know about online gaming from this article.

Online Games are enjoyed by a variety of people. People enjoy online gaming for a variety of purposes including losing weight and relaxation. Figure out how you can have the best time gaming by using the article that follows.

Don't abuse your game playstation and its accessories. Doing so could shorten their lifespans. Gaming devices are extremely fragile. Before you know it, you could destroy your xbox or one of the controllers. In addition, you should never throw down your controller whenever you're angry because you could destroy your controller, which will end up costing you lots of money.

When possible, download and try demos of games to determine if you actually like it. You can find out if you will even like the game play. Although, it is good to exercise caution when downloading demos. Be sure you only download from well-known websites to avoid computer issues.

Make sure that you stay hydrated when playing video games for long periods of time. It's okay to escape for a while with a game--that's what their main purpose is--but some people take it too far and get so involved in gaming that they don't drink water or other drinks regularly. Becoming dehydrated is dangerous, which is why you need to remember to drink plenty of water when playing.

Be cautious of online gaming. Sometimes you must pay a monthly fee for access. If your kids want to join a site that many of their friends are using, make sure that you take a look at it first. Evaluate the advantages of the games you find against the monthly fees that are charged.

Check out ratings when buying games for children. There is a big reason why online games have these ratings. If the game has a rating of M or A, you should not buy it for your kids. The ESRB website will provide more information about the video rating system.

Nintendo's Wii online game system is good for people who want to get in shape and increase physical activity levels. The Wii works with your own body movements and has an array of games that incorporate fitness.

If you only play one or two genres of games, think about branching out. Most people tend to play just one kind of game. Trying out all sorts of online games makes it a lot of fun and a very rewarding experience.

Use the subtitle feature. Is it the cast that the dialogue of the game is hard to understand because of all the gunfire and music? Check in the menu for a subtitles option. This can usually be found in the audio section of the game. You can generally find a setting here to toggle subtitles on and off.

Buying a new game is tougher than you may think. You might waste a lot of money on a game you end up hating. Read game reviews before making a purchase.

Figure out how to operate the safety and parental controls of any gaming system that comes into your home. You can likely make adjustments that keep kids from viewing mature content. Some allow each gaming profile to be customized separately, allowing adults to enjoy games not meant for younger audiences.

There, you should now be able to start getting more out of your gaming experience since you've read this article. You will be able to make your competition quake with fear since you now quite a bit more about gaming. Just knowing a little bit can get you far in the world of gaming, even if it's just a hobby.

First off I would like to say wonderful blog! I had a quick question which I'd like to ask if you do not mind. I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your mind before writing. I have had trouble clearing my mind in getting my ideas out. I truly do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be wasted simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or hints? Thanks!
