A meme titled "Tester’s Life" hilariously contrasts two views:

Reality: A chaotic barcode of black (testing) and gray (everything else testers actually do—like meetings, bug triage, and wondering why things are on fire).

What People Think: Mostly black, because apparently, all we do is “run tests” and sprinkle in some gray for coffee breaks.

Legend: Black = "Executing Tests," Gray = "Other Stuff" (aka the real MVP of a tester’s day).

Testers do everything, but somehow, all anyone notices is the part where we hit "run" on a test case. Classic paradox.

Reality: A chaotic blend of tasks—meetings that could've been emails, deciphering cryptic bug reports, convincing developers that “it's not a feature, it's a bug,” and occasionally running tests when the universe aligns.

What People Think: "Oh, you're a tester? So, you just, like, click buttons all day, right?" Sure, Rahul, that's exactly it. Clicking buttons and living the dream. Meanwhile, the real "other stuff" includes saving the project from exploding and translating developer-speak into plain English.

My kids have dropped in and out of TestBash over the years. This is Piper, aged about 18 months at TestBash Brighton 2019, I think.

A road marking with the words Ceep Klear on it.

I for one embrace this spelling mistake. It does the job (for now). It still delivers. Funny how we can get caught up in these quality loops and pick holes in things that aren't as important as we think. Image source and story: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4g3mzlp022o

A meme with a queue of people for STEC, and no queue for ISTQB.

Yes, a bit of tongue and cheek, not to be taken too seriously, but also memes are a way of self expression. And this is my way of sharing that I'm excited for STEC and all the professional software testers who are contributing to it. It feels like a course that truly welcomes people into our much loved profession.
