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).

A two-panel Futurama Fry squinting meme. In the top panel, the text reads 'Add tests, Implement feature' followed by 'All Tests passed' in green. In the bottom panel, it shows 'Make changes, Run tests' followed by 'All Tests passed' in green. In both panels, Fry has a suspicious, skeptical expression, implying distrust of the consistently passing tests despite code changes.

A chart with four columns labelled A, B, C, and D. The first column contains various testing-related terms like "software testers," "exploratory testing," and "the testing community." The second column contains verbs like "wanted to," "requested to," and "declined to." The third column contains words like "praise," "argue with," and "collaborate." The fourth column contains nouns like "developers," "product managers," and "designers." The image encourages users to combine elements from each column to create their own fictional "tester revelations." The image also includes the website ministryoftesting.com.

A four-panel comic shows an adventurer finding the "Scroll of Truth". In the first panel, the adventurer proclaims, "I've finally found it... after 15 years." The scroll reads, "SyntaxError: Unexpected token '<' in JSON at position 0." The adventurer reacts with frustration and throws the scroll away.
