Zelger, Simply the Test Mon, 25 Jul 2011 11:15:00 -0600http://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5197/Eat-it/Cartoonhttp://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5197/Eat-it/Cartoontorsten.zelger@audatex.chCartoonEveryone expects testers to do a great testing job, regardless of whether you get the right information at the right time. There is not much you can do about it. I still remember Bart Simpson‘s phrase „You are damned if you do, and you are damned if you don‘t“. So, if you‘re a tester, you have to get familiar with the fact that you get the blame for defects that are left undetected, and developers get the glory if it works.Mon, 04 Jul 2011 00:00:00 -0600http://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5128/Declining-Confidence/Cartoonhttp://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5128/Declining-Confidence/Cartoontorsten.zelger@audatex.chCartoonWishful ThinkingTue, 17 May 2011 00:00:00 -0600http://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5052/Christmas-Dinner/Cartoonhttp://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5052/Christmas-Dinner/Cartoontorsten.zelger@audatex.chCartoonWith this cartoon I earned an incredible number of feedback through email and some even came by my desk personally to condolate. While thinking it over I could hit the nail on the head even better by adding a speech balloon on top of one of the figures saying "Not again..." as it wasn't the first business XMAS-Dinner like this. The last XMAS-Dinner or shall I say release plan was exactly of the same pattern.

As the number of features grew also did the number of test cases.

I was "CC"-ied an Email which the head developer at that time answered to Engineering team. He forced them to deploy a piece of code while bypassing all agreed software deployment processes. And it wasn't the only time we suffered such actions. The original version of the cartoon together with one of my first contributions as an author was published later by BZMedia, N.Y.Thu, 07 Oct 2010 14:05:00 -0600http://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/4925/I-Do-Automated-Testing-for-Oil/Cartoon-Testinghttp://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/4925/I-Do-Automated-Testing-for-Oil/Cartoon-Testingtorsten.zelger@audatex.chCartoonTestingIt is easy to build up a new test automation suite from scratch. It is a different story to keep it up running for a life-time. Changes in the software under test will be implemented. One day your scripts need to be adjusted to the new situation. Some scripts will become obsolete, some new scripts need to be added, some just don't work anymore.Fri, 17 Sep 2010 15:47:34 -0600http://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/4899/Told-Ya!/Cartoon-Automation-Softwarehttp://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/4899/Told-Ya!/Cartoon-Automation-Softwaretorsten.zelger@audatex.chCartoonAutomationSoftwareSoftware Test Professionals is proud to add another Test Cartoonist to the website and community, Torsten Zelger (T.J.).
