Welcome!

This is our new testing blog. I use the plural because I hope it will become a collaborative effort. I plan to discuss testing, software development in general, or anything I decide interests me.

Stray Cats and The Cat Lady

I coined what I *think* is a new term this week -  Stray cat apps.

You know... those mangy apps (or servers,  *sigh*)  that no one wants to work on. Every so often I go to my door and find another one there... sad and starved.   The little wretches have been kicked around the team from developer to developer or from QA to QA until some poor sap takes pity and starts feeding them.   After a while those cats become yours.    

I think we all have accumulated one or two of these beasts.  But lately  I'm starting to feel like maybe I've let myself become the crazy cat lady...

    I particularly love it when someone comes looking for their long lost cat. "Have you seen my cat around? He's gray with white stripes, and handles reconciliation of a small client's summary table." I want to say, "yes, I've nursed him back to health from the brink of death - he's right here - that'll be $500."
