Hi All,

I as a representative of QA/Testing community would agree with the above discussion. I am not a Tester by profession but by virtue.

As mentioned above , I do ad-hoc testing and it has been succesful most of the times giving an error/crash/hang.

Once my manager was so impressed that he asked me to write cases that are beyond what the spec or test plan tells

Well coming to the case of Whats happening with Anonymous monk and his QA guy... I do agree there are some morons in every profession...

Well infact in my previous work place I being a tester did challenge the IIT guys that I would find a crash before the release and so did I and the quality thus improved.

If you want to tame the QA guy write or learn "how to write solid code" , do some good unit testing , ensure he has not much to do.

Moreover as you jotted your problem here , write a perl script which will test your code ;-) Regards

Prad
