The Quality Keeper's Oath ??

We promise to:

1. Test first, ask questions later
2. Never trust a passing test on the first try
3. Always check production (carefully)
4. Keep calm when the build breaks
5. Remember that everyone was once a beginner

Carnival Guidelines ??

1. All bugs must be repeatable (even the impossible ones)
2. Automated tests should automate, not complicate
3. Reports must contain more than "it doesn't work"
4. Meetings should have backup snacks
5. Friday deployments require written permission from the universe

This carnival is powered by coffee and determination

Emergency Procedures ??

When encountering:

• Undefined behavior: Define it yourself
• Race conditions: Slow down and smell the bugs
• Memory leaks: Download more RAM
• Integration failures: Blame the API
• Missing dependencies: Check if Node Modules went on vacation

Note: No code was permanently damaged during this carnival

Remember: In testing, we don't make mistakes - we discover unexpected features! ??

The Testing Time Capsule ?

What Future Testers Will Thank Us For

• Properly named variables (finally!)
• Comments that actually explain why, not what
• Test cases that make sense after midnight
• Documentation written by humans, for humans
• Coffee-resistant keyboards

Pro Tip: If your tests are passing too often, you're probably not testing hard enough! ??
