This incident happened on the annual day of my organization. The host called QA team to come forward for an event.While calling he said , QA and pronounced as "Kyu hai"
Ye team kyu hai ? (Why this team exists ?)
After the event, thoughts start coming to my mind. Why does QA require? Can this be a question? There are so many examples available explaining how things failed despite QA. Below is a link to such an article.
Well, yes QA is important in every aspect of our life. Though I am related to software field, QA is required for each field and we knowingly or unknowingly perform testing of few things.
Share your experience in comments where you have performed some kind of testing other than software testing, in your personal life.
Is there something called "Root Cause Analysis" ??
ReplyDeleteA Management lecturer was talking about "Quality".
Lecturer : We all know Lord Ram went to spend 14 years in forest and Sita was kidnapped because of a "quality issue".
Student : How is this anything to do with quality?
Lecturer : Tell me why did Sita go to forest with Ram ?
Student : Because she was his wife and respected his every decision.
Lecturer : OK but why did Ram go to forest ?
Student : Because his father Dasharatha told him to do so and he never disobeyed his father.
Lecturer : OK why did Dasharatha send his son to forest ?
Student : Dasharatha offered his wife (Kaikeyi) two boons , and she chose to make use of them in the future.
And she wanted her son to be king, so on the day of Rama's crowning,
she asked Dasharatha to send Rama to forest and crown her son; reminding him of his promised boons.
Lecturer : So why did Dasharatha offer his wife two boons ?
Student : Because during a military campaign against Sambarasura, the wheel of Dasharatha's chariot broke and Sambarasura's arrow pierced the King's armor.
She nursed the wounded King back to health.
Touched by her courage and timely service, Dasharatha offered her two boons.
Lecturer: Hence Proved. The quality of Chariot's wheel was not up to the mark .. leading to kidnapping of Sita...!!!!
[So, using the "5 why" technique we see that Quality is very important and if the quality of Chariot's wheel was good, the Ramayana wouldn't have happened!]
Very nice blog
ReplyDeleteThank you Priya.
DeleteQA is needed for the quality of any product. But QA person is also human being and things can slip from his/her keen eyes. But without QA the product can fail horribly. QA is not just a group of people doing just testing but a mindset.
