Headed to my office on the day of winter,
I dressed up the way, which best suits my gender…
Went to the project team, who refer me as QA and not tester
before I could question, they started giving order…
As I glanced at my screen, they handed me a paper,
Write your steps, and execute them faster…
They wanted everything noted on the recorder,
just in case if I get fever…
I kick started testing as if I was a hunter,
in the search of bugs I was feeding my hunger…
I found a bug, and quickly called the developer,
looking at my screen he didn’t care to ponder…
Asking me to chill, he introduced a new feature,
when I argued, he said, he know a bit better…
We not gonna resolve everything you discover,
you know, we all get paid per hour…
After a while, came the test manager,
asking if I have updated test cases to the server…
Let me stop the testing, and it won’t take longer,
anyways I was not gonna test forever…
We want a status, said the project manager,
don’t be the hurdle, we have to ship, please remember…
Let’s focus on the customer and not the user,
everybody felt happy, seeing their baby delivered…
I found bugs, said our customer,
all shouted aloud what tester didn’t discover…
Went home silently thinking how to get better,
once upon a time there was a tester…
