In this week's episode of QA in a Box, we're tackling one of the most legendary phrases in software development: "Works on my machine." You know it, you've heard it, and if you're in QA, you've probably rolled your eyes at it more times than you can count.
Join me as I share a hilariously relatable tale of a QA Engineer (me) vs. a developer (let's call him Dave), who insists there can't be a bug because everything works perfectly on his machine. Spoiler alert: it doesn't work anywhere else.
From cryptic error messages and desperate debugging marathons to that triumphant moment when the app finally breaks on Dave's machine, this skit shines a light on the eternal tug-of-war between QA and Development. It's part detective story, part tech comedy, and all too real for anyone who's ever been in the trenches of software testing.
So grab your coffee (or your frustration), and tune in to hear how we turn "your problem" into "our machine."
Moral of the story? If it only works on your machine, it doesn’t work. Period.
