Top 20 things programmers say to testers!

I was going through the "Top 20 things Programmers says to Testers!". Its really funny and brought back lot of memories.

Out of the 20, i need to admit I use these excuses very often :)

18. "It worked yesterday!"
12. "You must have a wrong version"
1. "It works on my machine"

The other excuses which I use or heard people using it are:

1. The issue isn't reproducable.
2. It's designed to work that way!
3. You know we have done it as a value add ourself! there is no spec for this.
4. It's been fixed long time back. May be you are looking into a wrong version!
5. You know its not because of our layer! It's an error in the "Service Layer" which another team needs to look at.
6. I don't think its a show stopper. How about fixing it in the next release?

Do you have a say on this?

Its true vadivel. I read that article. I used to tell testers that "Yes, it's supposed to do it. Don't you want to do like it?"

Script table as - ALTER TO is greyed out - SQL SERVER

One of my office colleague recently asked me why we are not able to generate ALTER Table script from SSMS. If we right click on the table and choose "Script Table As" ALTER To option would be disabled or Greyed out. Is it a bug? No it isn't a bug. ALTER To is there to be used for generating modified script of Stored Procedure, Functions, Views, Triggers etc., and NOT for Tables. For generating ALTER Table script there is an work around. Right click on the table, choose "Modify" and enter into the design mode. Make what ever changes you want to make and WITHOUT saving it right click anywhere on the top half of the window (above Column properties) and choose "Generate Change Script". Please be advised that SQL Server would drop actually create a new table with modifications, move the data from the old table into it and then drop the old table. Sounds simple but assume you have a very large table for which you want to do this! Then it woul

AWS fatal error: An error occurred (400) when calling the HeadObject operation: Bad Request

While using AWS and trying to copy a file from a S3 bucket to my EC2 instance ended up with this error message.

[Non Tech] Want to know the recipe for Omelette :)

Fed up with Bread - Jam and Curd Rice, today i wanted to eat Omelette. Interesting part is I wanted to cook it myself :) So in the first picture you see all the items which are needed for preparing an Omelette. When I had a closer look at the eggs I see that almost all the eggs are broken. But believe me when I bought it couple of days back it was in perfect condition! I was wondering whether the eggs have become rotten or pretty old to consume! I tried taking an egg and break it but couldn't break it at all :) Since I have kept in the freezer all the eggs have frozen and looked like a iron ball :) After trying for few minutes of trying i removed the shell of the egg and then kept that iron ball :) into a bowl and placed it within Oven. I heated it for 1 minute and checked. It melted only to a limit. So i just set it for another 2 minutes and checked it later. It has melted but the part of the egg white has become a Omelette :( I didn't leave it there. I took the bowl out of
