Can you caption this testing meme?

So @dkotschessa shared this image on Slack asking for help captioning it and the results were too good not to share!

On Slack, we got

“Scope creep”

“No one will notice.”

“ah I wouldn’t call them bugs, more annoyances”

“I don’t know, it was just fine on local. Must be a config issue.”

“What is accessibility?”

“testing tech debt”

“What do you think the size of this story should be?”

“Anyone have any blockers to report?”

We also had some great replies on Twitter!

How would you caption this?

Can’t think of something interesting testing related…

I could compare this to:

  • deploying an app. on amazon servers, they get hacked and your data is destroyed/stolen;
  • creating “temporary” workarounds for a big known bug;
  • building more features instead of fixing bugs;
  • automation checks framework/scripts flakiness;

Makes me wonder if there is a real possibility to create a completely meme-centric software testing twitter bot account.

oh yes, searching for software testing memes https://twitter.com/search?q=software%20testing%20memes&src=typed_query gives some results back…

But like other accounts or telegram group channels / instagram hashtags aka “Programmer Jokes” it is still missing. But have got no time to create one…

Let’s put a couple of orange flags on the top of the sign then the driver might see what’s ahead.

The app works but you got to follow the workaround instructions to the letter!
