Comment Re:Because tester != failed developer (Score 1) 220

Quite the opposite, if you want to break a bridge, you can apply load at random points, or you can perform a design analysis and apply load at critical load points and break the structure with less work. A good tester is a good engineer, that's pretty basic in most engineering disciplines. I developed application software for 16 years before becoming a tester. What did I start testing on? System level code that needed to be tested by... an application programmer. Most of you use the software that I built the tests for and never notice. That's a good thing!

Comment Re:Eulerian Path (Score 1) 514

This is how a friend of mine had his professor describe a problem to be solved. The algorithm is the basis of pocketing algorithms in NC Machining. The biggest issue is when sections close off into loops, because you will start to trace the same path, which is wasteful.
