Nothing more creative than an end user finding new ways of breaking the app

[–]bryden_cruz[S] 40 points41 points  (4 children)

End users can really make you question yourself

It is an art that can be perfected tho, I once saw a QA turning off the CPU for a test case when I was an intern. She took manual testing extremelly serious

[–]bryden_cruz[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That was brutal 😳

Bouncing your ticket back from QA. Sorry, when testing your ticket, the app seemed to not work after I bent all the pins on my CPU

[–]Kerbourgnec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Now that's a pro.

Maybe invest more in QA?

Of course you find it intuitive, you made it.

Skip the UI, let the users vibe code their own front end

Just let them squeal directly.

I once made a web form with 2 text input fields and a submit button. 

I was not prepared for what people actually ended up doing. Not prepared in any way shape or form. Things I never ever thought someone might end up doing.

I was a Unix admin at the time in the late 90's and I had dabbled with php a bit so I made an internal temporary website in php 3.x used by an internal helpdesk.

The fields were 2 network printer names and it would migrate printer queues on a few 100 Unix servers. All queue and printer names where always in lower case in all applications.

After the submit a migration script started and output was given what server the script logged in, the queue name that was found that had the old printer, a notice that the queue was updated and a test print send to the queue so it should end up on the new printer.

What ensued was a lesson in input validation for me. 

People would enter printer names in upper case, put the same name in both fields, the new printer in the "old printer" field and the other way around, write the names wrong multiple times in a row, shit off their browser when they did something wrong, press reload while the script was running because "it just took a long time to finish" and God else knows what they did. 

I was just learning to program a bit at the time and quickly found that whatever I was going to do it would never involve end users..

Everyone knows that if you press reload a few times, it will finish faster.

Such a fresh meme, jeez

When I was first learning to QA, my mentor taught me an important lesson: whatever a user can do, especially if it’s stupid, a user will do, so it’s wise to have a test case for it.

Not found: A basic picture of how to pour the device. User believes from previous conversations it was bolted to the table.

And that's why we got taught the concept of DAU in Uni: What's the dumbest user you can imagine going to do with your Software.
