"I think deep down most of us dont believe in software-at least not the way we believe in hardware. If software is insubstantial, then how much more insubstantial is software testing? There isn't even debugged code to pont to when we're through with test case design. The effort put into test design and testing seems wasted, especially if the tests don't reveal any bugs.
There is another, deeper problem with testing and test design that's related to the reason we have to do it in the first place. It's done to catch bugs. There is a myth that if we were good at our jobs, there would be no bugs to catch. If only we could really concentrate, there would be no bugs to catch. If only everyone used structured coding techniques, or top-down design or decision tables, or if all the programs had to be written in DOITALL or SQUISH, or if all programs were specified interms of inverse-recursive-produlation, then there would be no bugs. So goes the myth. There are bugs, the myth insists, because we are bad at what we do; and if are bad at what we do, we shld feel guilty abt it. therefore, testing is the admission of the guilt"

Blindness is the way of life ......!!!!
Today when i walk past the street i see thousands of people on the streets. Eating, sleeping and spending day to day life on these streets. My first instant reaction is to turn back and laugh with my friends about other issues making big statements of changing world. But again these incedents catches the eye and i cannot stop thinking of the tidiness they live and curse them. After walking another mile, i start thinking of the ill fate they are in which has brought them here into the city with no place to live in. And I started have a type of distrubance in the mind. All the joy weened out and i became more thoughtful. They are only the byproduct of modernisation that we are experiencing. But we live as if everything is fine and we are such self-engulfed that these scenes are nothing for us but daily occurences. We curse these people and fear from them as if they are devils came from some other planet. O, am i not the criminal? Have i tried atleast once to help them? No, then why curse them!!!
Today when i hear that India is growing at 8% growth rate with boyount economic prospects, my heart was filled with happiness. But is this development creating a growth or is it bring a more divide between rich and poor and increasing the number of "ambanis" and more ones i have seen on the road is the question we need to think again. Then i have read i newspaper that 35% of our people earn less than $ in income per day. Then where is economic and social prosperity going. People here are starving for one ounce of bread and we ask for more and more comforts. We demand for more leuxiourious life and why? because we have some knowledge or because we are able to do some technical stuff.
When have we forgotten that, we are a mere instance of humanity and lucky enough to live the life, we are currently experiencing. Our selfishness touches its peek with end less greed to become more wealthier and cosmopolitain. With this attitude we start differenciating self from others. Well today when i close my eyes i see numerous instances of me cursing all the people who room in shabby clothes even with out thinking of once their situation. Apperence itself makes a negative impact and we start cursing. There are more than 1 million childern on the street begging and a normal man in his life will see more than 10 million such incidents of child labour and human abuse, but who cares for i live for the better of self. I live to make one more building in which i can live comfortabily.The thought to help never occurs to this selfish mind.
I have seen an incedent of a child beaten black and blue in mumbai where around thousands of people were going not even 1 person including me had the courage to stop him. Why? Because i fear the aftermath of the incedent. I came to mumbai to enjoy with friends, if i stop that guy i will sure have a fight started over and i dont know any one who will help me. So, the safer way for me is to ignore the very incedent that is happening right before my eye. As i am too selfish and fearful. I observed the people avoiding to even see the incedent as that will ruin their mood for the day. I dont blame the poor people who's main aim in life is to have pleasure and to see self prosperity. It is a human nature but is there no one to even him to stop this chap from manhandling in public. Is it that for such incedent too the police or child help group has to come and stand for the childern or should he be left to that brutality so that one day in frustration he will take a wrong route and we may curse him?
May the lord give courage to all those in need of it more than me. Let their grevences be heard by the god, for i am very lucky to have much lesser pain and lead a better life. O, god help all in need and atlast me. Let all be happy in what ever state they are. Let love touch each one of them.
