The adventures of QA Captain (2)

?

Drop ...... Drop ...... Drop ...... On one side of the boiler, condensate splashed on the cold cement ground. Oliver looked up in front of the laptop screen that had been radiating, but only a shadow was visible. Seymour profits, Oliver in G. the new boss of wizkins software called him late at a basement meeting, and he was ordered to bring his laptop and the changes to the company's latest mobile app he had been working on. "Good evening, Oliver ." Oliver was shocked by the voice of others. Mr. profits walked slowly out of the shadow and walked to the small table where Oliver was sitting. "I know you have only been here for a week, so I really appreciate your willingness to meet me in this situation." He paused, with a sly smile on his face, "unorthodox situations." Oliver didn't say anything, because he was staring at Seymour with his eyes wide open. "You see," Seymour continued. "I have a board meeting tomorrow morning, I would like to tell all attendees how to use the exciting new features you 've added to our mobile app. ", Oliver replied, "but sir, I just completed these features today. Before targeting customers, they still need to be reviewed and tested by another developer ." "Unfortunately, we have no time," Seymour opposed. "You need to understand that for the benefit of the company, sometimes we have to do something different from what we usually do. Now, I think the changes you have been making may be very successful, and may push you to a higher position in G wiz. You want to climb up, right ?" Oliver stuttering, "... Hmm ....... Yes ......", "And you have a way to push the changes to the customer, aren't you? "Seymour inspires him. "I mean ...... I can ...... "Oliver was incoherent, and he was not sure. "That's the decision !" "Upgrade the code tonight to provide our customers with what they want," said Seymour. "Oliver hesitated:" Are you sure we have done this before? I'm new here ,......". Seymour throttled him with disdain. "I'm sure your code will run well. As long as you keep an eye on your screen and push these changes, I will watch you in the office tomorrow. You're doing the right thing, Oliver. I will not forget this ." When Seymour sneaked back to the Shadow, Oliver took a deep breath and lowered his eyes. A few minutes later, everything was done. Oliver shut down his laptop and quickly left the wet basement, but it felt worse than when he entered.

The next morning, Roy -- G. wizkins's QA leader was pouring coffee to himself, and he looked at the room ocean occupied by business analysts and other members of his QA Team. It's usually very quiet on Tuesday morning, Roy liked it. Suddenly, the silence was interrupted by a sound like a harsh ringtone on the phone. At first, there was only one corner of the office, but he had no time to finish his first coffee, and the whole office was overwhelmed by phone ringtones. As it happened, Roy tried to quickly put the fragments together and ran back to his desk, making it almost impossible to balance the coffee in his hands. "Why do people call? What happened between yesterday and today? It shouldn't be because we haven't updated any applications since last week ." He went crazy, with his eyes scanning the screen filled with complaint records. People rushed to his desk and kept saying, "mobile applications are not running on Model X !", And "not just model X, but also Y and Z !", "We don't know where the error is, because we only have model Q !" Something must have changed. There is no other explanation. It took weeks to complete all models.TestAnd the changes must be passed by each model before release. Roy tried to focus on all the ringtones and chaos in the office. "People are unhappy. Why? Because something has changed. But what has changed? Who caused it ?" His thinking is moving fast. "There are so many problems. So many answers are needed. Always solve this problem. But how? "Suddenly, it's like the switch is thrown away. The chaos around Roy is blurred, and the sound disappears into the background. If he wants to control the situation, he needs to know two things: 1) who is the impact of change? 2) Why should we change it? He cannot answer these questions by himself. He needs help. He needs the QA Team. Roy looked around to see if someone was watching and then issued a warning. In New York, a member receives a message on its model X device. In Paris, another member received messages on a Y-type device, while a member in Berlin received messages on its Z-type device. Members from all over the world open a message on their different devices: "Please help. Test the latest G. wizkins application on a mobile device and report the results. -- QA Team lead "All Roy has to do now is wait. In less than 30 minutes, the report began to surge, including devices, locations, and members. When Roy scanned the results, it was easy to see that although model Q was not affected, model X and Y were affected to a certain extent, and model z was also completely different. Roy realized that they have one thing in common: "ThisFunctionHas not been detected and approved for release !"

Success! Roy threw a report of the survey results to Seymour's desk. "What did you do ?" He asked. "Hello, Roy. I'm glad to see you too. "Seymour replied, mocking your tone. Roy pointed his finger at the report. "According to people around the world, they are now able to use features that are not approved for release. How is this possible ?" Seymour grinned and leaned back in his seat. giggle, "I just gave people what they wanted. Don't be so upset. I just give it to them ." Roy moaned and rubbed his forehead. "I'm glad you're so anxious to give them a problematic application! "Seymour is incredible." What do you mean ?" He was upset. "I am using this application very well. I used the new feature this morning ." Roy also uses the color "of course, on model Q! But untested updates are introduced to models X, Y, and Z !" Seymour grabbed the report on his desk and began to view the report. He looked at Roy with confusion in his eyes. "These reports are from all over the world, including devices that we normally cannot test. How did you get this information ?" Roy leaned over to Seymour's desk and shouted out of his teeth. "Let's just say, I asked someone for help. You are lucky to have friends outside of the company, or we will spend weeks alone to trace all the buckets ." Seymour dropped the report on his desk and sat back slowly, stunned. Roy got closer and said, "I will ask you again: What have you done ?" Stunned, Seymour replied: "This ...... This is a new guy. I asked him to launch this morning before the board meeting ." Roy picked up the report on the table and walked to the door. "I will let the developers stop the change and let our friends look at it again to make sure everything is safe ." Seymour stopped him. "But I still don't understand how you can compile all the results so quickly ." Roy turned around at the door. "This is the so-called multi-force. I asked thousands of friends to spend 5 minutes testing instead of thousands of hours testing our five employees. This allows us to get results faster on more devices than usual ." Seymour asked: "Can we use your friends to help test from now on? "" Of course, "Roy replied as he walked away." But you have to pay ." Of course, Seymour won't pay thousands or more employees. Roy understands this. However, because Seymour ignores the importance of testing, Roy now proves that it is advantageous to have a QA Team: Testing on more devices than G. wizkins to get results faster. Maybe this allows him to use the QA Team under normal testing and even help them get paid. Now, if he can stop Seymour ......

This is the day of the QA Team lead!
