DDP & STC... IMHO TBTSSB

The latest issue of the Testing Plannet is available now, it includes a centre spread (which looks just great!):  "Ten reasons why you fix bugs as soon as you find them" by Matt Archer & me. The issue also includes a couple of my cartoons.

Here's a cartoon from the previous issue about DDP:

the caption winner is... [and a cartoon about freedom!]



Thank you all for your suggestions. I found it really hard to decide which one was my faviourite as there were so many great captions! I ended up asking a fellow tester (Adam Brown) to help out with the judging. I then narrowed it down to Christian's caption. It's not only funny but a reminder that bug graphs/metrics don't tell the full Quality picture. Thanks Christian! And thank you all who took part. I may do a similar exercise again in the future...


Slightly random, but I came up with the following cartoon from the above cartoon and a discussion on STC about movie quotes relating to testing.

Guess the caption

In a recent post I asked if you could guess what my original idea for the cartoon was. I received loads of feedback about the cartoon which made me think I should do more posts like it.
Today's cartoon is missing the caption/s. Can you suggest any ideas? You could come up with a the title, a subtitle or a (or a couple) of speech bubbles from the bugs. Give it a go and leave a comment. I'll update the cartoon in a few days with my favourite response.

The art of bug reporting

This cartoon was first printed in the STC's The Testing Planet.


... Like a good artist, you'll know when to follow the rules (of thumb) and when not to.
