The Little Tester – Stories in Testing #37

These are the made up stories of a team working in an Agile environment. Their daily struggles and successes are presented in a comic/parody/satirical way. Click on the image to see it in full size.

  • Coffee, the team’s Java developer.
  • Mr. Fancy, the team’s UI developer.
  • Senor, the Senior Developer of the team.
  • Kitty, the Scrum Master.
  • Glasses, the Business Analyst.
  • And the manager.

Disclaimer

  • This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, businesses, places, events, situations presented are either the products of the author’s imagination or used in a fictitious manner. Any resemblance to actual persons or events is purely coincidental.

  • The sole purpose of this comic strip is to be humorous.

  • The drawings are made by hand on paper, by means of pencils and fine liners, except for the outline, by the author. Hence their imperfection.
