    Worst blag of the day award….

    My nomination is a guy working on behalf of a major IT company, said he knows TestDirector.

    We need to upload his word test scripts into QC – anyone knowing their QC knows that getting the tests into a Excel template and exporting using the mapping grid is the way to go.

    The con-tractor who professes to know QC insisted on using a Word template. Knowing it does not work well I said sure, go ahead, but you will have to work out the mappings which he refuses / can’t do.

    He has 500 scripts to upload, advises this will take months ?!? A team of 4 will sort it in less than a day…..

    Finally, he has TWO expected results per test step and asked me to re-write QC to cater for this!!

    He is now doing phone a friend, and since suggested he has used Defects part of QC once…….

    Anyone pulled a blag, and got away with glory, or suffered death?

            A script monkey's just a failed Techie anyway, who cares.

            On them! On them! They fail!
