Emma: La. la. la.
Emma is singing as she works.
Jan: You're in a good mood.
Emma: I'm in a great mood! Why wouldn't I be?
Jan: I could ruin your mood.
Emma: But why would you want to.
Jan: It's just a natural consequence of your job.
Emma: But I love my job.
New York Stevie: Hey Emma, I need some help.
Emma: Have some documentation and a ( Read more... )

QAGoddess: So what's up, New QA Goddess?
Emma: Oh, that's not me, that's Malimana!
QAGoddess: She's not a QA Goddess, she's a QA Powerhouse!
Emma: True dat. Nothing's going on. Jan is helping me debug the latest version.
Jan: You shouldn't tell her that, she'll get upset at not being here to join us.
Emma: Oh, I hadn't thought of that! Of course ( Read more... )

Emma: (Swear. Swear. Swear.)
Malimana: Aw. What's wrong Emma?
Emma: I can't "scorch earth" my database.
Emma: (Type. Type. Type)
Malimana: There's your problem. Jan is connected. He's inactive. Kill his session.
Emma: I'm not going to kill his session without speaking with him about it.
Malimana: But it's inactive.
Emma: But still rude.

Emma: So, Jan, look what happens when I do this. (Type. Type. Type.)
Jan: What's the problem.
Emma: There's an error. See. (points to error message.)
Jan: What does it mean?
Emma: I was hoping you could tell me that!
Jan: Well, I did get some errors when I was creating it, something about full duplex mode, but I'm sure you know all about that.

MacroMan: For instance, it would be nice if could have Steve working on the Widget 3 testing, but we can't. We don't have a way to test Widget 3.
Steve: It wouldn't be that nice.

MacroMan: So Malimana tells me you're really mimicking the user experience.
Emma: Yes. I'm doing a lot of swearing.

MacroMan: So here's our new bug list. I put the new stuff on the bottom.
Jan: Are you sure this is the new list?
MacroMan: Yes, I'm sure.
Jan: Well, it says the bugs are assigned to me when they're actually assigned to QAGoddess who is just sitting here smiling!
QAGoddess: GRIN!
MacroMan: The new information is at the bottom.
( Administrative note )

MacroMan: So else do we need to add to the test cases?
Jan: QAGoddess was sharpening her nails to do ad-hoc plans.
QAGoddess: mrrrrow.

QAGoddess: So, Developer Jan, these tables aren't being populated. That's why I logged it as a bug.
MacroMan: Well, maybe we're not supposed to populate these tables. Jan, are we supposed to populate these tables?
Jan: Well, why not?

Jan: I don't know why you people are yelling at me. It was QAGoddess's request. I was just doing what she said.
QAGoddess: I said you should support Widget1, not that you should use the Widget1 interface to create something entirely unrelated. Don't you think that's just the tiniest bit confusing?
Jan: Why would it be?

Jan: I don't know why ( Read more... )
