How Roshan D'Mello (QA Tester) frustrates developer (Mukesh Thakur)Roshan D'Mello: Hey Mukesh, there is a bug in your code. Type a text inuser name text box and press enter. Beep sound doesn't appear.Mukesh Thakur: How can that be a bug? There is no requirement that beepsound 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 insome PCs. Sound is coming in my machine, but my colleague Rajat Choudhry isnot getting the sound.After another 2 days,Mukesh Thakur: Not a bug. I observed that your friend Rajat Choudhry hasold IBM machine. Unlike your DELL machine, IBM machines do not have inbuiltspeakers. So, to hear the sound in Rajat Choudhry's machine, please usehead phones and then get the bug closed soon.Another 2 days,Roshan D'Mello: I have re-opened the bug because sound tone is differentacross different machines. Sound is coming as 'BEEP' in my machine, but mycolleague 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 twomachines are built in such a way that they produce different sounds. Do youexpect 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 soundproduced on 2 different DELL machines is different. My machine producesbeep sound of intensity 10 decibels whereas my friend's machine producessound worth 20 decibels. Fix your code to make the sound uniform across allmachines.Another 2 days later,Mukesh Thakur: Once again it is not a bug. I have noticed that the volumeset is different on the two machines. Ensure that volume is same in boththe 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 forre-opening?Roshan D'Mello: Sound intensity is different for machines placed atdifferent locations (different buildings). So, I have re-opened it.After 2 days,Mukesh Thakur: I have made some scientists do an acoustical analysis of thetwo buildings you used for testing. They have observed that the acousticsin the two buildings varies to a large extent. That is why sound intensityis different across the 2 buildings. So, I beg you to please close thebugs.After 1 yearRoshan D'Mello: I am re-opeing the bug. During the year, I requested theclients to arrange architects to build two buildings with same acousticalfeatures, so that I can test it again. Now, when I tested, I found thatintensity of sound still varying. So, I am re-opening the defect.Mukesh Thakur: GROWLLLL.....I am really mad now. I am sure that the soundwaves of the two buildings are getting distorted due to some backgroundnoice or something. Now I need to waste time to prove that it is because ofbackground noice.Roshan D'Mello: No need for that. We will put the machines and run themin vacuum and see.Mukesh Thakur: (not alive)
