"But it works on my computer!"

If you're a developer, I'm sure you've all used the phrase, "But it works on my computer!". If you haven't, I'm sure you've at least thought that in your head.

Anyhow, on goes my rant about my compatibility woes; we just finished some beta code for a soft release to maybe only 20 of our sites. The code was stable, the functionality was tight, and everything was working how we wanted it to be. Well, at least it was on my computer. Now, don't get me wrong, I do a lot of testing before I show anyone my work, but for some reason I completely forgot to test my work on different platforms.

So, unknowing of the issues, I walk over to the project manager and show him (what I thought to be) a finished product on his computer and... "huh?! why is it not working now?" Firefox issues...IE6 issues...

Turns out some of the javascript that another devloper wrote (and some that I wrote) were not compatible in older browsers. Bah...and that's why we test on different platforms kiddies!

Happy QA'ing!

Cheers!

Really? Facebook?! "Best Tech Company To Work For" really?!

Wow, so it sounds like this place has gotten a load of rave reviews from its employees! Good for them, though, I'm really curious how they edged out Google.

Interesting...
