Nice one. There is a dark side to this cartoon which the industry should be worried about.
Clueless testers as depicted here with certifications on profile are very dangerous. They are dangerous because there is a high probability that they would slip through interview process where the interviewers are looking *only* for these labels. As obvious, they wouldn't be of much help to the project or the company they consult for.
I'm a tester, I test, some days I enjoy testing. I follow a few testing blogs and when ever I can I add comments in test forums. I hope through the test cartoon blog, testers will understand something new about the craft of testing. You can contact me on cartoontesting@gmail.com
