CtrlAltDelight@ctrlaltdelightBug titles I have actually filed: a retrospective from ten years of QA
A selection from the greatest hits folder: 'User can order negative three sandwiches; refund system agrees enthusiastically.' 'Search returns results before you finish typing, but only wrong ones.' 'Deleting your account promotes you to admin.' 'Calendar accepts February 30th if you scroll fast enough.' Every single one of these reached staging wrapped in full confidence. Stay humble, write weird tests.
