Top 10 Excuses Made by Programmers

One of my friend sent me an email with subject “Top 10 Excuses Made by Programmers”, I think you might have received such mails or read on some blog or any where on the internet, but I feel its worth sharing. I believe this have been very true if you think for while or look around in your team. Developers have been making these excuses very frequently; if you are a Quality Assurance/Test engineer you will support my argument. Here are the 10 most common excuses made by the programmers:

10. “I haven’t touched that module in weeks!”

9. “It must be a hardware problem.”

8. “Somebody must have changed my code.”

7. “Did you check for a virus on your system?”

6. “You must have the wrong version.”

5. “That’s weird…”

4. “There must be something wrong with your data”

3. “It’s never done that before.”

2. “It worked yesterday.”

and the best one

1. “It works on my machine”
