A Tester Is...someone who shows you that if you put a bottle on top, tilt the trash can at 5 degrees, press on the left side, and then trigger the lid release then it is possible to launch the bottle through the kitchen window and by the way that is a plausible use case so the broken glass on the floor was well worth it to uncover that risk and I was just focusing on the issues so I don't know why you are getting so mad.

I'm posting this as part of throwback Wednesday. This image is probably at least 15 years old, when Software Testing Club was still around. Thanks to Jeff Lucas.

I've been working in the software testing and quality engineering space since the year 2000 whilst also combining it with my love for education and community. It turns out quality, community and education go nicely hand in hand.
