Developer's frustration




Introduction:
Peter (QA Tester)
   
Kush 
 (Developer)

Peter
 Hey Kush, there is a bug in your code. Type a text in 
username text box and press enter. Beep sound doesn't appear. 

Kush
 How can that be a bug? There is no requirement that beep 
sound should come. Anyway, I will assign it to offshore and get it
fixed. 



After 2 days, 


Kush
 Peter, bug is fixed. Please verify. 



After another 2 days, 

Peter
 :  I have re-opened the bug because sound is not coming in 
some PCs. Sound is coming in my machine, but my colleague Pankaj(Shauk…n)
is not getting the sound.



After another 2 days, 

Kush
  : Not a bug. I observed that your friend Panka(Shauk…n) j has 
Old IBM machine. Unlike your DELL machine, IBM machines do not have inbuilt
speakers. So, to hear the sound in Pankaj(Shauk…n) 's machine, please use
head phones and then get the bug closed soon.



Another 2 days, 

Peter
 :  I have re-opened the bug because sound tone is 
Different across different machines. Sound is coming as 'BEEP' in my machine, but
My colleague Pankaj(Shauk…n) 's who is having IBM machine is getting the sound
as 'TONG'. 

Kush
 : Not a bug. Get lost man. What can we do for the bug? The 
Two machines are built in such a way that they produce different sounds. Do
You expect the developers to rebuild the IBM processors to make them
uniform?
Please close it.



Another 2 days, 

Peter
 :  I have re-opened the bug because intensity of beep 
Sound produced on 2 different DELL machines is different. My machine produces
Beep sound of intensity 10 decibels whereas my friend's machine produces
Sound worth 20 decibels. Fix your code to make the sound uniform across all
machines.



Another 2 days later, 

Kush
 :  Once again it is not a bug.. I have noticed that the 
Volume set is different on the two machines. Ensure that volume is same in both
The machines before I get mad and then close the bug.



Another 2 days, 

Peter
 :  I have re-opened the bug. 

Kush
 :  What ?? Why? What more stupid reasons can be there for 
re-opening? 

Peter
:  Sound intensity is different for machines placed at
different locations (different buildings). So, I have re-opened it.



After 2 days, 

Kush
 : I have made some scientists do an acoustical analysis of 
the
two buildings you used for testing. They have observed that the
acoustics in the two buildings varies to a large extent. That is why sound intensity
is different across the 2 buildings. So, I beg you to please close the
bugs.



After 1 year 

Peter
 :  I am re-opeing the bug. During the year, I requested 
The clients to arrange architects to build two buildings with same
Acoustical features, so that I can test it again. Now, when I tested, I found that
intensity of sound still varying. So, I am re-opening the defect. 

Kush
 : GROWLLLL.... .I am really mad now. I am sure that the 
Sound waves of the two buildings are getting distorted due to some background
noice or something. Now I need to waste time to prove that it is because
of background noice. 

Peter
 :   No need for that. We will put the machines and run 
them in vacuum and see. 

Kush
 :   ?? 
Result------ --------- -------- 

He is now in mental asylum while
 Peter has become QA Manager.
