I am the very model of a software Test Professional,
I’ve information computational, logical, informational,
I know the current thinking, and I type in codes commercial,
From COBOL to Javascript, in order categorical;
I’m very well acquainted, too, with problems mathematical,
I boundary test equations, using latest testing oracles,
About probability distributions I’m teeming with a lot o’ news,
With many cheerful tests for the square of the hypotenuse.
I’m very good at identifying behaviour anomalous;
My defects address issues, the sublime and the ridiculous:
In short, in testing behavioral, functional and structural,
I am the very model of a Software Test Professional,
I execute my tests, both the structured and the complete ad hoc’s;
My regression is useful, I’ve no time for silly paradox,
I promote a mantra of stability, usability, reliability,
I know all the programs as-designed peculiarities;
I can tell minor typos from nasty bugs and show-stoppers,
I know the various moods of all of the developers!
I know all the testing tools from Quality Centre to Selenium,
The in-house, the free, the cheap and the premium.
I have worked in Agile and other testing methodologies,
And have ranted on blogs – please accept my apologies:
In short, in testing behavioural, functional and structural,
I am the very model of a Software Test Professional,
