Tester versus developer

How Roshan D'Mello (QA Tester) frustrates developer (Mukesh Thakur)


Roshan D'Mello:

Hey Mukesh, there is a bug in your code. Type a text in user name text
box and press enter. Beep sound doesn't appear.

Mukesh Thakur:

How can that be a bug? There is no requirement that beep sound should
come. Anyway, I will assign it to offshore and get it fixed.

After 2 days,

Mukesh Thakur:

Roshan, bug is fixed. Please verify.

After another 2 days,

Roshan D'Mello:

I have re-opened the bug because sound is not coming in some PCs. Sound
is coming in my machine, but my colleague Rajat Choudhry is not getting
the sound.

After another 2 days,

Mukesh Thakur:

Not a bug. I observed that your friend Rajat Choudhry has old IBM
machine. Unlike your DELL machine, IBM machines do not have inbuilt
speakers. So, to hear the sound in Rajat Choudhry's machine, please use
head phones and then get the bug closed soon.

Another 2 days,

Roshan D'Mello:

I have re-opened the bug because sound tone is different across
different machines. Sound is coming as 'BEEP' in my machine, but my
colleague Rajat Choudhry who is having IBM machine is getting the sound
as 'TONG'.

Mukesh Thakur:

Not a bug. Get lost man. What can we do for the bug? The two machines
are built in such a way that they produce different sounds. Do you
expect the developers to rebuild the IBM processors to make them
uniform? Please close it.

Another 2 days,

Roshan D'Mello:

I have re-opened the bug because intensity of beep sound produced on 2
different DELL machines is different. My machine produces beep sound of
intensity 10 decibels whereas my friend's machine produces sound worth
20 decibels. Fix your code to make the sound uniform across all
machines.

Another 2 days later,

Mukesh Thakur:

Once again it is not a bug. I have noticed that the volume set is
different on the two machines. Ensure that volume is same in both the
machines before I get mad and then close the bug.

Another 2 days,

Roshan D'Mello:

I have re-opened the bug.

Mukesh Thakur:

What ?? Why? What more stupid reasons can be there for re-opening?

Roshan D'Mello:

Sound intensity is different for machines placed at different locations
(different buildings). So, I have re-opened it.

After 2 days,

Mukesh Thakur:

I have made some scientists do an acoustical analysis of the two
buildings you used for testing. They have observed that the acoustics in
the two buildings varies to a large extent. That is why sound intensity
is different across the 2 buildings. So, I beg you to please close the
bugs.

After 1 year

Roshan D'Mello:

I am re-opeing the bug. During the year, I requested the clients to
arrange architects to build two buildings with same acoustical features,
so that I can test it again. Now, when I tested, I found that intensity
of sound still varying. So, I am re-opening the defect.

Mukesh Thakur: GROWLLLL.....I am really mad now. I am sure that the
sound waves of the two buildings are getting distorted due to some
background noice or something. Now I need to waste time to prove that it
is because of background noice.

Roshan D'Mello:

No need for that. We will put the machines and run them in vacuum and
see.

Mukesh Thakur: (not alive)
