Diet and exercise... is all the rage now

I read lots of software testing blogs and articles. Some I skim read, some I read twice. I must have read thousands by now. But I don't recall ever reading about keeping fit or following a strict diet to improve your testing. But it must do... a healthy body is a healthy mind, and our work is all about the mind.
A few years ago I read a short biography about a famous theologian in the USA, Jonathan Edwards. In 1727, at the age of 21 he wrote a diet resolution for himself (which I think he pretty much kept to):

 By a sparingness in diet, and eating as much as may be what is light and easy of digestion, I shall doubtless be able to think more clearly, and shall gain time; 1. By lengthening out my life; 2. Shall need less time for digestion, after meals; 3. Shall be able to study more closely, without injury to my health; 4. Shall need less time for sleep; 5. Shall more seldom be troubled with the head-ache.

I think he was way ahead of his time, and a little crazy too.

I wonder if any testers out there have ever started a diet or increased their exercise for the main purpose of finding more bugs!!!

Test Is Dead is dead

If you've not heard of the term 'Test is dead' then Google [did] it.


Test Is Dead is dead... Long live Test!!

This is a silly cartoon… I hope you like it ;)

Well, it’s happened again, I didn’t update the blog for over 3 months. I wish I could give you a good reason why, like I took a few months off to work in the Amazon researching for a new cancer cure. This isn’t true… obviously. The truth is that I've been occupied on other things, things such as family, reading, sport, plus a few other things and a spot of gardening. At the moment I’m in a constant struggle to decide what to spend my spare time on… so far it’s a stalemate!

I will try to post more cartoons but I can't promise to update the blog regularly :( What I can promise is that there will be more testing cartoons :)  … but perhaps not all on this blog…

Counting bugs
