Rapid Tester - listen - read the original post
Original Song “Someday” by Steve Earle
Lyrics by Geordie Keitt, 2000, 2007

There ain’t a lot that you can’t do with this thing
It’s big and bad and ugly and intimidating
It’s meant to do most anything that’s ever been done
And the developer-to-tester ratio’s seventeen to one

I work at a startup, we’re a little short of dough
We got some talented developers they write a lot of code
I’m the only tester here and it’s a mighty big task
Sometimes I don’t know where to start or even questions I should ask

Chorus
I got so many expectations
Cause I know there’s a better way
To deal with all these complications
I’m gonna be a Rapid Tester someday

I never thought that what I did was what I oughtta do
Just trying everything I think might make that bug come through
Now I know that I’m exploring a multidimensional problem space
In an open-ended heuristic search for evidence of faults and failures that may threaten the value of the product…

Chorus
