10 Reasons to stop testing

testing stop QA
I created this cartoon many months ago but I’ve been saving for now… If I remember correctly, I drew a draft of the cartoon and then read a post from Michael Bolton which helped me finish it off.

The reason I’m posting it today is because I’m going to take a short break from the cartoon blog… not just because the World cup is in full flow and the Tour de France is just round the corner, but also (drum roll) I am a now a proud father to a wonderful daughter, born on the 23rd June!! Mother and the two older brothers are doing well :o)

I will stay in contact (email/twitter) so feel free to drop me a line. I will continue to post cartoons over the next month, but not as many as usual… Now lets all hope Spain win at the world cup. Venga España!

    Hi Andy,

    Congrats for you family enlargement!
    Also great post!
    I wanted to ask for your permission if possible to use (with note to the author of course) some of your cartoons in my blog.

    Thanks,

    Thanks Eusebiu,

    Yes, as long as there's a reference on the author you can post a few of the cartoons (not too many though! ;o) )

    Cheers, Andy.

    Thanks a lot.
    Well I did this post
    http://www.testalways.com/2010/06/24/between-over-planning-and-not-caring-at-all/
    and I will try to avoid in future using your cartoons. But the idea is great with illustrations.

    Sebi

    Andy,

    "When we need to stop testing" is a very usual testing interview question in Indian context.Hope this cartoon will help testing job seekers to answer this question and of course stopping the interviewer asking some non sense questions.

    Thanks
    Ram
