Introduction:

Roshan D’Mello (QA Tester)

Mukesh Thakur (Developer)  

————————-

Roshan D’Mello: Hey Mukesh, there is a bug in your code. Type a text in username 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-opening 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

noise or something. Now I need to waste time to prove that it is because of background noise.

Roshan D’Mello:   No need for that. We will put the machines and run them in vacuum and see.

Mukesh Thakur:  ??

Result:

Mukesh Thakur is now in mental asylum while Roshan D’Mello has become a Manager.

Jim and Edna were both patients in a mental hospital. One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool, Jim suddenly jumped into the deep end. He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there.Edna promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and pulled Jim out. When the Head Nurse Director became aware of Edna’s heroic act, she immediately ordered her to be discharged from the hospital, as she now considered her to be mentally stable. When she went to tell Edna the news she said, "Edna, I have good news and bad news.

The good news is you’re being discharged; since you were able to rationally respond to a crisis by jumping in and saving the life of another patient, I have concluded that your act displays that you have a sound mind. The bad news is, Jim, the patient you saved, hung himself in the bathroom with his bathrobe belt right after you saved him.  I am so sorry, but he’s dead.

Edna replied, "He didn’t hang himself, I put him there to dry”.
