I Care



I’m Sure it seems as though I’m Evil.
But it’s only because I care.


…for your own good



“I’m not Evil,
I’m doing it for your own good.”



…I’m Necessary



“I’m not Evil, I’m Necessary.”



Of course I’m not Evil…



“Of course I’m not Evil.
Do I look Evil?”




I’m not laughing…at you



"I’m not laughing…at 'you'!"




"I’m just doing whatever it takes"



"I’m just doing WHATEVER it takes"




Not all testers are evil…



…just the good ones

Difference between QA and QC in Practice

Peter Von Osta asked the following question to the group:
Hi,

A question for the group:

Do organisations make a distinction between QA and QC in practice ? QA is
more about adherence to practices to prevent problems while QC is about finding
them (simply said of course).

Regards,

Peter
