Sometimes it gets so though to convince a or even make him/her understand that there is some issue with the code! before looking into the bug description, they hop on us, to say it s not a defect, I feel y d hell u guys feel so bad to read our bug descriptions fully, they just look into the titles and faint off, saying what not,
"That's weird"
"It works on my machine",
"It was working in the morning"
"Thats an environment issue"
"That's not a bug its a feature" !
My God, atleast try to appreciate the testers for whatever they have found or observed...
and accept if something has gone wrong or explain to the tester, if they have got it wrong!
But the way they act is as though they wanna run away from it! saying thats not my code and other funny stuffs!
Sometimes they get irritated to fix it; forget about fixing, even to accept a defect as defect!
They say thats not big!, "Come On" defect is a defect big or small!
Testers remain humble most of them at least... but I dont know why some of the dev guys behave as though we have eaten up their codes!
they make faces as though we are barging into their homes without appointments!
phew! One needs an extra talent and knack to get the work done - especially from these guys and saving our defects from getting deferred or rejected!
The saga between the Tester and the developer never ends!
I am trying my best to use my talent... to keep the healthy pace ON, but sometimes I do stumble!!
God please show some mercy on we testers! :)

Here is my reply... [http://sunilsairam.blogspot.com/2010/12/developer-vs-tester-part-ii.html]
NO hard feelings.. :)
@ Sunil : :) well, we never proclaim ourselves to be GODS.. we do watch our words before saying "Guys have not done Unit Testing" come on, we are sure there are some tests at-least, done by a dev...
The point here is dev's reactions on a tester (even if he is a new comer) - we log defects on a product and we do not target the developer (y take it so personally)
we never blame others work, when a defect still persists, we would have to reopen it, dev guys should not take it too personal! its the product boss, not you (I know you guys code, but still U guys have all the ability to fix them! )
So chill... n Just be nice to a Tester (explain him if he can't get the things right: )
@Pallavi: You might never proclaim as GOD. A lot of testers whom I have interacted act as if they were the GOD of everything. Unit testing yes we dont hv as much time as u guys have for testing so it might miss out.
I could have written my blog post in much more nicer way, yeah that would have been a general instead of it looking personal. But many of developers like me have same arrogance towards tester, so I wrote it that way.
Its not us who are measured by the bugs. So for you testers rather than improving the quality, you guys think of the number.
Thus the problem occurs and if we try to explain this, your so called rapport is gone..
:) I understand, most of the testers go behind the numbers than quality! which is bad...
