Tests in Production
12 Nov 2024
In testing, QA engineers often encounter bugs that seem severe or exaggerated, leading them to prepare for worst-case scenarios and tackle every potential problem like it’s a huge threat (the "fierce dragon"). 8-bit Dinosaur in Prod by contrast, the same bug in production might look trivial or even go unnoticed. The 8-bit Google dinosaur, which you see when you lose internet, represents how a bug that QA saw as a “dragon” is perceived as almost laughably small or insignificant by end-users or production teams.
