Programmers to Testers

Programmers to Testers when their programs don't work:

"It works on my machine"

"Somebody must have changed my code."

"I can't test everything!"

"I haven't touched that module in weeks!"

....

I've used the 1st and 4th one many times

"Why would anyone ever do THAT?"

"It's not a bug; it's an anti-feature!"

It's like you've read my IM's today.

Must be Pebkac or an ID Ten T error.

You don't have the latest code.

I am still working on it. How did that code get checked in?

You weren't supposed to be in that area of the program.

That's not my code.

I do mostly web apps, so it's "It works in Firefox" when a problem crops up in IE.

did that work in previous build ? didn't you test then ?

A few that I used

"Someone else must have changed my code"

"The code must have got reverted in the CVS"

"It was working when I tested it"

I was once stuck in an even worst situation. The page was working in my Firefox and not the client's Firefox. I couldn't find what the cause was and I had to replace AJAX with a normal page post back...
