              When I worked at [now defunct futures and fx firm] I forwarded that image with the Dos Equis guy. My boss saw it, and got upset, enough to get me in a little trouble. It hit too close to home as there was no such thing as a dev environment there, so it was only truly tested in production.

                Of course. It's the most conclusive way to test. :cool:

                    Oh dear, not another bunch of stuffed seats that we have to ignore. It's getting so that we spend so much time ignoring these things that we don't get to do any actual work.

                      Testing code is a silly idea; it's costly, time-consuming and boring. Why would you do that when you can get users to test it and pay you for the privilege?

                          It's always important to determine, in advance, if your boss has a sense of humor.

                              I'm fortunate in that my boss does have a sense of humor. His boss, however, does not.

                                Ahhh, the Microsoft approach. Its a good method because then bugfixes become enhancements

                                  I've had the misfortune of having more than one job where that was the attitude, no make that policy, of the users.

                                      Test is unnecessary, unless your customers start crying al over the internet your product is shit. :laugh:
