Subject:Writing vs. Testing From:Leona Dupree <llmdupree -at- YAHOO -dot- COM> Date:Fri, 21 May 1999 12:30:50 -0700
Howdy,I actually like being part of the testing process when I can do
it myway.
One time and one time only, I participated in the official "test run"of
a
software. We sat and clicked on the same series of buttons over and
over and over and over. Luckily, they only required two hour shifts.If
I
would have had to do it any longer, I think I would have screamed.
I can understand why the original poster was frustrated if that is
whathewas
up against.
-----
Now that you put it this way, testing is mind numbing; however, we all
have to wear many hats sometimes. I didn't realize some Technical
Writers were having to debug and do QA testing. I learned something
new today.

Sincerely,
Leona L. Magee-Dupree
Have a nice day!
