So in fact, we bill the client less than what we work. <br /><br />Forget about quality of software, quality of life is going down...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-669204958118251718.post-81356485414849099782012-01-16T01:05:18.333-08:002012-01-16T01:05:18.333-08:00Hi Savitha,

I am always under the impression that it's rest of the world that's anonymous and don't reveal their true self. Don't you agree? :)!!! On a side-note, it's just a chosen mask; not a secret identity.<br /><br />2) We don't do 8 hours of work every day; If we keep exact count, am sure we would be not averaging any close to 8 productive hours of work every day;the point is that this is the biggest corporate lie that's accepted by all corporates!!!<br /><br />3) Quality and Billing --- The connection is that in the end stages, when the client points out quality flaws, the management tends to point them as out-of-scope and tell them that it was not planned; or out of scope of billing hours. <br /><br />4) And to answer your last question, yes; it's not about what matters to me; it's about popular perception as to what actually matters to the rest of the world --- is it money or quality? I think money comes before quality for the rest of the world --- and I am very tempted to join that world!!!<br /><br />Am really not sure if that answered your queries!!!Fake Software Testerhttp://fakesoftwaretester.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-669204958118251718.post-21145854308233421612012-01-13T06:12:48.878-08:002012-01-13T06:12:48.878-08:00Hello Fake Tester!

I do not see any relation of billing and quality of the software. <br />Let the management do what possibly they can do that's what i feel.<br /><br />Quality is everyone's job. The responsibility should be shared to deliver the good quality product.<br /><br />You being a tester can do wonders to help to improve the quality of the product.<br /><br />5th question "How much it matters to you about 8 hours billing?" Does it really hamper your productivity or your quality of your deliverable :-) <br /><br />Cheers!<br />SaviSavitahttp://savitamunde.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
