Because they bring me such joy, I will share with you all the software testing videos I share with my Software Design and Development students.

Video 1/3: “We don’t need user testing! We already know our users”

Video 2/3: “2 unit tests, 0 integration tests”

Video 3/3 (I feel this one •deeply•, to the bone):

“Developer watching QA test the product”

@inthehands this whole thread is spectacular. The spectator's face as they put the circle through the square, the kids sliding down the hill, all of it. Glorious!

@geoffreyconley
We’ve all been her.

I told the students, “If your user test doesn’t make you feel like that sometimes, you’re either not testing soon enough or not testing hard enough.”

@inthehands now if I could just figure out an appropriate way to reference these when an exec or client tries to de-prioritize user testing
@geoffreyconley
Something like, "Shaka in the square hole" perhaps.
