Subject: RE: Advice on software testing?
In a place in which I was employed, somebody in management tried that.
The tester stood his ground. He did not say "Ship it."
He did not say "Don't ship it."
He simply signed his test report. His test report included
a number of "This test case was not tested during this test cycle"
or "Test case incomplete" or "No confirming test performed
on this test case."
The tester is still with ... er... that company. The manager is not.
