Testing is dead because

Testing is dead because:

• we know how the user thinks
• we know how the sales people think
• we know how the support people think
• functionality that is written down is perfect
• designs are fully understandable
• designs are not ambiguous
• a user will follow the manual strictly
• a user will do no strange things with the software
• a user will not make mistakes using the software
• interfaces to others systems are always the same and standardized
• there are no risks with introducing this product into the world
• the program will never crash because we made it crash proof
• the customer will believe us because we've got blue eyes
• calculations are never wrong in computers
• there is nothing that influences our software externally
• memory is cheap and we can use as much as we want
• storage is cheap and we can use as much as we want
• there is no limit to storage
• access rights for users don't change
• graphics are completely reliable because calculations made are reliable
• the user will understand our menu and will not be confused
• a hacker will not try to harm the software
• we will not be DOS attacked
• user will not give their password to strangers for a bar of chocolate
• up scaling the software after a period of use is just adding some resources
• big amounts of data in the database will not cause problems
• lots of users logging into the system will not cause problems
• lots of users working in our software at the same time will not cause performance loss
• everybody has a fiber connection to the internet
• adobe flash works on all machines
• the user will have plug-ins in their browsers for all kinds of stuff we put in our software
• the software will run on any platform
• changing the software is done in a jiffy
• changing the software will not change functionality
• adding functionality will not cause other functionality to fail
• our FAQ is more than enough to help users with their problems they created
• a developer is never tired and always on the edge of clear thinking
• developers are super-humans and make no mistakes
• embedded software will not react strange when hardware is dropped into water
• embedded software is easily updated without clearing the complete device
• planes can fly because the software is reliable
• because of the agile approach it is bug free software
• because we really thought a lot about it there is no way this will fail
• communication within the development team is perfect
• communication between development and the business is perfect
• nobody will complain on great software
• the business goals are perfectly implemented because we know those goals
• nothing strange happens when electricity will fail
• data imported in the software is always consistent and clear
• translations to other languages is perfect, we understand all languages
• ..... (I could continue, but this will make my point I guess)

Yeah, sure. Don't believe the rumours. Have fun testing!
I certainly will.
