My code only does one thing. It is impossible for it to do something completely different.
I don't even know how to get it to do the thing they say happened, because it's complex and I haven't looked at the APIs for years. It's not even as if it can inadvertently happen.
It can't.Insert Witty Signature HereComment

It can't.
The testers hated me when I insisted that they did that. It annoyed me so much I didn't give them the tool I was going to offer them to do the documentation automatically for a whole month.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

all you'll get is "it doesn't work how I thought it would" and then it turns out they have completely different expectations than from the business spec.Comment

the fact it also records the 15 minutes of browsing they spent while doing 16 minutes of testing is of course a good side benefit for management.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

New plan is...
- give me a list of scenarios you want to test. Almost a "test script" if you will.
- I will provide you with an extract of the data before you run the tests. This will enable you to identify what data will change when you run the tests.
- I will suggest what parameters you should use to run each scenario, but it's up to you if you want to use those or find your own.
- I will be available on the phone and / or remote desktop while you run the tests, so you can show me what doesn't work.
- At the end of the process, if there is work which needs to be undertaken to fix the job, then we will do the work.
- At the end of the process, if you want it to do something different from the current solution, then you need to raise a change request to define the requirements. For the third time.
