    A long time ago I was the guinea pig/first user for a company developed system.

    I often had my 1 year old at the time son with me when I worked on the weekend. He had a great time smashing buttons on the keyboard and randomly clicking the mouse on the test version. He found most of the bugs.

      You must have been lying close attention to see how they were triggered though.

      Bug reports can be tough if you can’t repeat them. I’m glad you got some bonding time with littlie though, especially if you were on the clock.

        Screen recording rules.

        The amount of times colleagues would dismiss bug reports because “they couldn’t reproduce” my steps rapidly declined when they didn’t only get the steps based on the video, but also the video.

        Take that Daniel, you lazy <beeep>

        Taught our test infrastructure to record and attach those recordings to the reports, too, before the manufacture of the testing tool implemented that. Good times.
