Field of Dreams rip off

... In case anyone thought they could build perfect software... please don't get me started with defect prevention :)

NEWS:
I'm off to EuroSTAR next week. The conference has become a highlight for me in the testing calendar, it will be my fourth year attending. I'm looking forward to catching up with friends and meeting new ones. I'll be running a workshop on Visual Testing, here are the details: http://www.eurostarconferences.com/conferences/session/464/visual-testing

Software Eggs and other graphs

I really like the thisisindexed.com site which makes fun of some things and tries to make sense of others using simple graphs and illustrations.

Recently I was reminded of the site by reading 'Explore It' by Elisabeth Hendrickson as she used one of the graphs to help describe exploratory testing. This triggered me to create some simple and slightly quirky testing graphs of my own. See below, what do you think?

As a testing exercise, it would be great if you could draw one or two graphs or illustrations, take a photo of it and either uploaded to twitter with hash tag #testindex or uploaded it to the cartoon tester Facebook page.

Go on, it would make you think about testing which is never a bad thing (especially if you’re a tester!).

Do check it out and leave some comments! The first post is titled 'The diary of a troubled software tester: Day 1 - You cannot serve two masters', you can find it here:
