Why not spam? Did you not spot the link on the words "software testing"?

Well, there is "Formal Testing", where you always don a DJ and Black Tie before you run your code, "Informal Testing" which is very similar, but with jeans and a T shirt.
There is "Alpha Testing", where only the most manly are allowed to run your code, and "Beta Testing" where code is run while driving an old Lancia.
There is "Unit Testing" where you get the computer to do it and accept it's word that all is fine.
There is "Student Testing" where you finally get it to compile and hand it in immediately before that changes.
And there is "Homework Testing" where you try to get others to write your answers for you ...

this is sooo true and about 90% of what is wrong with our code. I love it and groan at the same time. If only we would open the application and try what we jsut did. <grin> Cause we never make mistakes right? Especially in typing on a keyboard. (jsut left that way on purpose)
To err is human to really mess up you need a computer

Sometimes you test the software, other times the software tests you.

It's more a test of my patience sometimes.

His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

I'm a developer, I don't know. Go ask a QA analyst, that's their job.

Huh? ...is that just a posh way of saying end-user?

Isn't the end user the guy who last saw your poor program alive?

The surest way to find what is wrong with your software is to put it into production and let the users test it for you. There are usually so many of them they're sure to find every problem.
Simultaneously, this takes care of the all-important "J. Kass Factor", which is where users do things that no rational and sentient being would ever do - and cause problems no one could anticipate.

The trick is to convince your end users to pay you to test your products.
The other trick is to have the developers who work on a product provide frontline support for it.

I don't always test my code, but when I do, I do it in Production.

Are you sure it's (7, 8)?
Because ANCIENT HISTORY seems to fit pretty well ...
