The Truth About QA: It's Not That Bad, Really

Let's face it, folks. QA is often misunderstood. People think it's some sort of sadistic device, designed to drive developers to the brink of madness. But no, it's actually just... well, it's just not that bad.

We're not asking you to do 10,000 unit tests, we promise. Just a few dozen should do the trick. And don't worry, we won't make you write any code. Unless you want to, that is. In which case, we'll just make you do even more.

But Seriously, What's the Deal with the Questions?

We know, we know. "Why are you asking me so many questions?" "Can't you just trust me to get it right?" The answer is, no, we can't. Because that's not how software development works. And also, we're not your mom.

So, here's the deal. We'll ask you some questions. You'll answer them. And if you get it right, you'll get a cookie. If you don't, well, let's just say we have a lot of cookies.
