I thought it might be a bit fun to do a series of blog posts where we take a famous movie quote, and apply it somehow to QA/Testing or even the software engineering life-cycle.
This is one famous movie quote, and I think it applies greatly to Engineering in general (or anywhere in fact)! I don't think a week has gone by in my career where I couldn't have uttered the following:
I saw this quote (although I haven't seen the film), and I don't even think it needs any explanation....
But I'll explain anyways! I would say that 80% of problems that are in a workplace are down to a failure in communication, if a bug is found, a failure to communicate the effects of the bug properly can lead to a false severity, or a false priority. That's not the only time when a failure to communicate can be damaging, especially for QA, but a failure to communicate when understanding requirements or when explaining what you are testing can lead to a misunderstanding and unnecessary confusion.
Stay tuned for more quotes from top films such as Top Gun, Casablanca, Forrest Gump and more!

"I'll be back".
ReplyDeleteThat infamous bug that keeps on returning because the regressions tests don't cover it.
Ha, that's a good one! I hadn't thought of that one... I had thought of one from the same film though, but I'll share that at a later date!
DeleteWhat would you link to 'I think we're going to need a bigger boat'?

DeleteYou read my mind!
That quote is wrong. What he said was "what we have here is 'failure to communicate' "
ReplyDeletePleasantly surprised to see this meshwork of amazing words.
