My Breakfast Serial
My name is Carl. I'm a software evaluator. I spend six months working
on schedules and tests that are rendered invalid by schedule slips and
changes to specifications two weeks before the product is due to ship
to customers. So I end up doing the same thing on every project that I
work on: I poke at the program with a stick. No plan, no finesse, no
careful selection of poignant test cases. It invariably breaks anyway.
I am required to certify in two weeks that a complicated system made up
of hundreds of lines of code in tens of modules, all written by
different engineers with different revisions of specifications, not
only will work, but also will not have any bugs in it.
