Motivation for Testing

Sebastian Bergmann » 22 February 2008 » in PHPUnit » 5 Comments

I find your lack of tests disturbing.

Moff Jerjerrod: "Lord Vader, this is an unexpected pleasure. We are honored by your presence..."
Darth Vader: "You may dispense with the pleasantries, Commander. I'm here to put you back on schedule."
Moff Jerjerrod: "I assure you, Lord Vader. My men are writing tests as fast as they can."
Darth Vader: "Perhaps I can find new ways to motivate them."

    Fantastic!
    How about:
    “Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of Testing.”

    Where I work our webtester shows a picture of the Hulk looking angry if your tests fail and a picture of the Fonz if they pass. The only problem is that I now don't like the Hulk very much :(

    Hmmm, maybe that's what's wrong with my approach to wanting testing implemented at my job...

    Maybe I need to be wearing this during meetings -- http://ashnazg.phpdoc.org/starwars.html

    We also use a post on the wall to enforce people to test. See http://100days.de/serendipity/archives/17-Tehehehehests!.html
