Which testing muppet are you?
According to the dev team, this is the muppet representation of me as a tester –
But as well as straying into Sam’s stern, righteous, “everything’s wrong” attitude on (rare, I hope,) occasions, I think aspects of my testing persona could just as well be represented by some different muppet outlooks:
Animal – The performance and stress tester. High-volume test automation.
Beaker – The black-thumb tester. Something baaaad is gunna happen.
Kermit – Maintainer of relationships and manager.
Miss Piggy – Hiiiiiiya! Throw in some occasional defending of the weak as well.
Swedish chef – Just mix it all up and wait for chaos (and Borking) to ensue.
Gonzo – “Do you really think this will work?” – “No! Isn’t it great?!”
Dr. Bunsen Honeydew – The analytical tester.
Scooter – The gofer, assistant ( to developers).
The Count – Obsessive attention to detail and number wrangling.
Floyd – The creative tester.
Which muppet suits your testing personality?
How about adding this to the list
Crazy Harry (the pyrotechnician, blowing things up every now & then) – the ruthless tester, whatever you hand over him, he’ll demonstrate that it’s broken.
Hi Jared,
methinks I lean somewhere between Gonzo and the Swedish Chef!
Of course, I’m probably a blend of all of them at any particular type but those two stand out the most to me!
Nice post.
Nice one. I tried to come up with something for Rizzo but it didn’t fit my timebox. I think Lew Zealand has something for testers as well.
Hey,
This is quite funny and has a lot of truth in it.
