Hmmm,
The project I am on at the moment has decided to write tests one way, the standard way is different.
This led to P.M. taking on my Boss for what appears to be a battle of wills...
Have other people experienced this, what is the correct office behaviour, despite my desire to get some pop corn and sit back and watch the fire works, I feel the desire to no longer be around I am looking for a test that requires some kit in another building...

If there is an accepted practice for testing your product, you should IMO follow the accepted practice. If this is merely a difference in preferences between the PM and your boss - let the popcorn flow!
In neither case should you get involved; there is a lot to lose, and very little to gain.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Daniel is right: if you get involved, you will lose whichever way it ends up.
Go find another job to do - a useful one is good - until the dust settles!

Ah, this is excellent. A true classic maneuver. First you kick off the avalanche and then you step aside to let those two have all the fun. It also puts you in a position where you can plausibly deny any accusations which might be raised to pull you into this thing. So, which cair are you after? PM or boss?

Procedures are in place for a reason, but there should be flexibility if it can be justified. For example, perhaps this particular project has an element not consider when the original procedure was implemented?
If the PM can justify the action then the boss should be willing to compromise. However, a smart PM would just say "Ok, it's YOUR call boss" and scab a free pass if it all goes wrong.

Well, I found I needed to check a soak test in another building, a soak I did not start...
It is still on going Jira & Zephyr advocate vs paper... the body count is rising...

I figured that would either last forever, or be solved immediately - so ... I was wrong!

I am probably missing something obvious, but I don't get it?

I don't either!

Confetti is small bits of paper thrown over the happy couple at a wedding.
Hence "Matching paper?" - paper which is used at a "matching up"ceremony.

Ok, I get you. I am impressed it was solved, it's very non-obvious, but good nonetheless.

...and arguably you still did, just not the first to do so.

I think you did - you posted a link to it IIRC

I think it was on the link you published recently ( favourite clue site )

Yep, I think you're right. Bugger - I thought I'd come up with something clever.

Well assuming it's in a church, you might be able to squeeze in your confession between the ceremony and the reception.
