A small Ant(Versatile Tester)

Frndz, first lemme wish u a very Happy and Prosperous New Year. I wish you lots of luck and bright future this year.

A small Ant (Versatile Tester)

Recently, I come across a situation, which made up my mind to think in different scenarios to prevail over a situation.

One fine day, I saw an ant. This is frustrating to escape from water (heavy pour) under a tap. I thought of serving it. I have taken a leaf and helped her to come out of water. But again it went to a place where a small drop of water was bounded. This time, I was not supposed to help her. Sat there and seen the ant, how it come out of it.

Really, I was never seen such a situation with lot of persistence. It was moving only to a side again and again (more than hundreds of times). After a lot of time, it was moving to all the other three sides. Common Frndz, I again thought to help it with the leaf. But I observed it again and again with much more patience.

After moving here and there, it waited in the middle for a while. Then I puzzled of what it was doing about. Then the puzzle is solved, it came out from that place.

Frndz it waited for water to get evaporated.

Lemme apply it to real life.

As a tester, lot of my teammates and my managers helped me out with leaves to overcome some situations in initial days of my career. But will they be with me every time?

No, so how should I do things soft and beneficially? As according to my knowledge, when you find a new scenario or situation which you haven’t tested yet, think for a while, do some homework and practice with some test scenarios. Even if you are not able to test it (Surely you will get the test cases), then go for the help.

Frndz, try until you can, if a small ant can test in different ways to come out of the water, why can’t we?

Happy Testing
