Use your mastery of the mouse by clickety-clicking on the thumbnail to the left to view full-sized image! You might just have a career in software testing! Well, the joke seemed funny at the time. At least it got a few laughs. Hey, I’d certainly buy a copy if the book has a chapter on “How To Convince Management That Testing Is NOT Just Clicking and Hoping That Stuff Breaks”.
I’m referring to those occasions in every software tester’s career when he or she must deal with management and developers who assume that testing does not require a great deal of skill, thinking, planning AND creativity. Those crazy times when the powers-that-be throw in all sorts of people { customers, secretaries, managers, staff pulled from other projects, etc. } at the last hour to start clicking on shit. Often, mostly cosmetic GUI issues are found in these sessions. There is great value in this, but I have a beef with the mentality behind the practice. 
Testing is not easy. You cannot just throw numbers of people in a project so late in the game and hope that within budget, timely and high-quality software will be the end result. While I’m griping, let me just add that people do not “break” software unless they’re smashing computers and CDs around. The software came broken already. Crafty, skilled testers expose those broken bits. Monkeys sometimes find bananas randomly but the smarter, skilled, and more experienced monkeys are better equipped to know where and how to look for tastier, bigger and more plantains. Forgive me for borrowing the overused monkey metaphor…
What, were you expecting a tutorial how-to or great, original QA insight? I have none, just scars. Just a little lame QA humour for now, but maybe I will write something useful for someone, one day, hehe. That day is not today.
Adieu,
