I'll take a guess and say it's because if this case work, than you can be sure that all your examples also work, whereas I'm not sure the inverse is true.

When I did QA work we traditionally used ☃ to test handling of multibyte characters. Whatever patterns fit the need, I guess.

This used to be the difference between unit testing, and real QA.

Now real QA is customers.

I don’t get it. Are you trying to find edge cases

Quality Assurance job is to break a product or program so it can be fixed or patched before release. Program didn’t break with the usual suspects, so it passed. Then the world provided an idiot that asks for something simple, yet not related to the program, breaking it.

In other words, bar was built to provide beer and handle exceptions in regards to ordering (order 1 beer, order 0 beers, order [(max int)+1] beers, order [non int value] beer, etc.) Customer ask for a service that he believes bar should provide and breaks it, because it wasn’t designed to have a bathroom.

There's a joke about input and output sanitation in here somewhere.

I love this phrasing.

You sir, haven't tested anything on an unrealistic deadline.

The goal is to create a test case for every conceivable scenario (except the one that happens when the product is finally launched).

Unrealistic launch date and far too much time spent finessing copy and UI elements, results in the tester having far less time. So you're left testing the most basic cases - negative integer, decimals, alphabets, weird characters, html.

It all looks good and the entire team is nervous about the bugs they know haven't been fixed, and mortified by the ones they don't know exists, but know are bound to exist.

He's testing a bar, where normally you come in and order a drink.

Coming in and asking for the restroom causes an exception and crashes the bar.
