A Programming Joke
(Okay, you have to be in computer development to really get
this one. But it's good. - Vikar)
A developer/tester convention was being held.
On the train to the convention, there were a bunch of developer
majors and a bunch of tester majors. Each of the developer majors
had his/her train ticket.
The group of testers had only ONE ticket for all of them. The
developer majors started laughing and snickering.
Then, one of the testers said, "Here comes the conductor"
and then all of the testers went into the bathroom.
The developer majors were puzzled.
The conductor came aboard and said "tickets please"
and got tickets from all the developer majors. He then went
to the bathroom and knocked on the door and said "ticket
please" and the testers stuck the ticket under the door.
The conductor took it and then the testers came out of the
bathroom a few minutes later.
The developer majors felt really stupid. So, on the way back
from the convention, the group of developer majors had one ticket
for the group.
They started snickering at the testers, for the whole group
had no tickets amongst them.
Then, the tester lookout said "Conductor coming!"
All the testers went to one bathroom. All the developer majors
went to another bathroom.
Then, before the conductor came on board, one of the testers
left the bathroom, knocked on the other bathroom, and said "ticket
please."
Lesson learned: Any test that passed in unit testing can fail
in system testing.
