Top 10 Excuses Made by Programmers
Ever since I took my first ISEB -certificate I found this list a fascinating one. Need to actually to get a poll somewhere here to measure the accuracy of the grades in that list in real qa-life.

I myself see the ‘Works on my machine’ and ‘That’s weird…’ as the funniest 😀
10. “I haven’t touched that module in weeks!”
9. “It must be a hardware problem.”
8. “Somebody must have changed my code.”

5. “That’s weird…”
4. “There must be something wrong with your data”
3. “It’s never done that before.”
2. “It worked yesterday.”
