Testing & Doctors - An interesting story

There is an interesting similarity between Testers and Doctors.
Both focus on "defects that affect the quality of experience". Testers focus on the health of software/system, while doctors focus on the health of living beings. As testers we can a learn quite a few things from a doctor. 


Here is one illustrated as a light-hearted story of "Joe the tester" in the "The tale of two doctors". This was published in the eZine "Tea Time with Testers". 


A snippet to get you started..


In a big city lived Joe, a typical urban yuppie. He  was always focused on a great tomorrow. He worked very hard, partied furiously and lived a fast life.

Life was a blast, until his body decided to act up. On this Sunday morning, he woke up panting, unable to breathe, body drenched in sweat, with a dull pain in his chest. The previous evening was a blast, a celebration party thrown for his best buddy getting engaged. After an evening spent at bowling, they hit the pubs, closing each one, until they could not find one open.
