Recently came to know that the airing of the CID show has been discontinued. I was a bit surprised to know this (as the show was consistently aired for 20+ years). I won’t say all, but I have seen most of the episodes of the CID show and it is one of my favorite shows on the television.
You must be
thinking that it’s a Software Testing blog and why Yogesh is talking about CID
show here?
Well, I could
connect CID show to our Software Testing. Let’s consider a Software under test
as a Crime Scene and we Software Tester as a CID Officer (may be ACP
Pradyuman/Daya/Abhijeet, who were the leading CID Officers in the show 😇).
What we have
witnessed in CID show is, every crime scene is different in various aspects and
the way to approach and investigate the crime is different. Same goes with the
Software too, isn’t it? 😉 Every Software Product is different. It may be of different
domain, different technology, and accomplishing different purposes. And in accordance
with the Software context, Testing is done differently.
We have also
witnessed in CID show that, every case is not as straight forward as it appears
and CID officer needs to struggle a lot in order to investigate it
appropriately. Similarly; on many occasions we Software Testers need to
struggle a lot in identifying the intermittent or sporadic bugs in the
Software.
Sometimes a CID
officer needs to change the plan &/or approach of investigation to cope
with the changing situation or twist coming along the way of investigation. Similarly;
we Software Testers also need to be agile and respond optimistically to
changing requirements during the test execution or sometime towards the end of
execution.
Have you seen this
CID show? Do you have anything in mind that you can relate to Software Tester
or Software Testing? 😀
