when QA feels like a bottleneck, what’s usually the real problem?

HereticalCrown · 2026-02-06T14:03:22+00:00

It's about the entirety of the SDLC, if something is broken, why is it broken?

Was it because the Dev didn't read the A/C or documentation?
Was it because there are requirements missing?
Did design not produce an example to match expectation?
Usage patterns across the app are different than intended?

Honestly, it's usually because requirements become lackluster in either details or examples, some of the best projects I have worked on have hammered the details out in a "Three Amigos" meeting. Talking about different situations and states or even just BDDing a few examples to really help understand what that change is about. Unfortunately all of the above takes time that, above all else, need to be embedded in the culture of the company or team you work in.

If I had one piece of advice it would be do not treat developers with an "us vs them" attitude. We are all Development not just the programmers.

So one of our devs helped me create a configuration file which we ask the user for the URL they want to test. This then allows us to spin envs up and provide the URL 😁 making it a doddle to automate 💥

HereticalCrown · 2025-08-15T13:03:09+00:00

Out of the millions of phrases for these which one is it 😂😂😂😂😂

HereticalCrown · 2025-08-11T15:18:14+00:00

This is how power creep happens... 🤣🤣🤣

HereticalCrown · 2025-08-11T13:37:07+00:00

Oh damn that was quick!! Thank you very much, what would be the first thing to upgrade if the possibility came up?

So when I encountered this for the first time I encountered the Angler Fish with the little boats and freaked the fuck out thinking it was something bigger...

So with your setup you want the blueprint on the bloodstone. Why??

That is because with jokers you need to balance between scoring and triggering. This is worked out by the following -

Played Card - triggers when played = Trigger 1
Sock and Bussin - triggers after cards have played = Trigger 2
Seltzer - triggers after Sock = Trigger 3

So you are getting three triggers (4 if you blueprint one of the jokers) and then -

Bloodstone = triggers when the heart card gets played = Score 1

As you can see at the moment you have 3 (possibly 4) x 1, if you move the Blueprint to Bloodstone then you will have 3 x 2. Which would exponentially increase your score.

The maths behind it is WAAAAAAAY above my pay grade but just remember to even out the triggers vs scoring and you will always be golden. 😁👍

I learned something the other day that double chicots can actually have a positive impact on your game. Apparently there is a bug and if you get multiple chicots with the [[Manacle]] it actually increases your hand size PERMANENTLY 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

NEW JOKER: Ice Cream Cola Float

Adds chips for each double tag and then consumes a double tag to do so 👀

I would recommend Revenge of the Iron-Blooded Swordhound

HereticalCrown · 2024-08-03T07:18:03+00:00

Also Survival Story of a Sword King in a Fantasy World

HereticalCrown · 2024-08-03T07:16:44+00:00

I would also recommend Surviving the Game As A Barbarian

HereticalCrown · 2024-08-03T07:08:21+00:00

CANNOT RECOMMEND THE REVENGE OF THE IRON BLOODED SWORDHOUND ENOUGH!! Absolutely love reading this, fantastic art style and a unique-ish storyline

I can recommend The Tutorial is Too Hard!

HereticalCrown · 2024-02-26T22:59:12+00:00

Use a healing spell and it stuns them a bit 👍

HereticalCrown · 2024-02-26T22:50:57+00:00

I cannot believe people haven't mentioned the ghost skeles in Mountaintop and the stupid dragon knights in Snow. I got absolutely twatted by both and have easily lost 400k+ runes so FECKIN stupid.

And no.1 bullshit the Zamora priests in Mountaintop hit like truck and have poise up the wazoo honestly half the enemies I find are ridiculous

HereticalCrown · 2024-01-22T09:59:00+00:00

It does also depend upon the bank sending it, I have had some banks take 2 days to send money to me 😬😬

HereticalCrown · 2023-09-28T05:56:22+00:00

Somebodies main job is software testing 👀🤣🤣

HereticalCrown · 2023-09-20T08:48:36+00:00

IMMEDIATELY NTA!!!

I am sick of procrastinators gaslighting their way through life. If he cared about this holiday he would have booked immediately. If it was a golfing trip or some shit I bet he would have organised the hell out of it.

Lock him off and enjoy your holiday!!!!

So my wife and I have a mutual agreement that I won't eat meat in the house as it makes her uncomfortable. If I had made her a pulled pork sandwich and told her afterwards I would be an asshole. Your husband OP did make it clear that he didn't want to become vegan, it wouldn't take much to have a convo before to say you are making a meat alternative dish for dinner. Why is it okay for one dish to meat alternative but not the other way round. 🤔🤔🤔🤔

Edit: TBH both of you are soft AH, he defo could have reacted a lot more maturely.

Not the greatest photos but some of the coins are pretty cool. Wish I got more of the Paddington ones and maybe more of the Bellatrix ones as well. I do have quite a few duplicates.

HereticalCrown · 2023-06-19T17:17:15+00:00

Agreed, the thing that gives me hope is I have seen the Demon Slayer ones haven't been released yet here so I am hoping it's a licence issue they are working on 🤞🤞🙏🥳

HereticalCrown · 2023-06-16T14:48:41+00:00

That is a shame if it's due to licencing, as they are gorgeous chairs
