Specially for test Engineers
------------------------------
A university scholar, Mr. John Smith approaches his friend a




 software-testing guru telling him that he has a Bachelor in
programming,   


 and now would like to learn the software testing to complete his knowledge 


 and to find a job as a software tester. After summing him up for a few




 minutes, the software-testing guru told him "I seriously doubt that you




 are ready to study software testing. It's a serious topic. If you wish




 however I am willing to examine you in logic, and if you pass the test
I   


 will help teach you software testing. " 




 The young man agrees.




 Software testing guru holds up two fingers "Two men come down a
chimney.   


 One comes with a clean face and the other comes out with a dirty face.




 Which one washes his face? 




 The young man stares at the software-testing guru. "Is that a test in




 Logic?" software testing guru nods.




 "The one with the dirty face washes his face," He answers wearily.




  "Wrong. The one with the clean face washes his face. Examine the simple




 logic. The one with the dirty face looks at the one with the clean face




 and thinks his face is clean. The one with the clean face looks at the one 


 with the dirty face and thinks his face is dirty. So, the one with the




 clean face washes his face."




  "Very clever" Says Smith.  "Give me another test"






 The software-testing guru again holds up two fingers "Two men come down a  


 chimney.One comes out with a clean face and the other comes out with a




 dirty face. Which one washes his face?






 "We have already established that. The one with the clean face washes his  


 face"





 "Wrong. Each one washes his face. Examine the simple logic. The one with the dirty face looks at the one with the clean face and thinks his face is 


 clean. The one with the clean face looks at the one with the dirty face  and thinks his face is dirty. So; the one with the clean face washes
his face. When the one with the dirty face sees the one with the clean face washing his face, he also washes his face. So each one washes his face"






 "I didn't think of that!" Says Smith. " It's shocking to me that I
could   make an error in logic. Test me again!."




 The software-testing guru holds up two fingers "Two men come down a




 chimney.One comes out with a clean face and the other comes out with a




 dirty face. Which one washes his face?





 "Each one washes his face"





 "Wrong. Neither one washes his face. Examine the simple logic. The one




 with the dirty face looks at the one with the clean face and thinks his




 face is clean. The one with the clean face looks at the one with the dirty 


 face and thinks his face is dirty. But when the one with clean face
sees   


 that the one with the dirty face doesn't wash his face, he also doesn't




 wash his face So neither one washes his face".








 Smith is desperate. "I am qualified to study software testing. Please give 


 me one more test"





 He groans when the software-testing guru lifts his two fingers, "Two
men  come down a chimney. One comes out with a clean face and the other
comes  out with a dirty face. Which one washes his face?






 "Neither one washes his face"





 "Wrong. Do you now see, John, why programming knowledge is an insufficient 


 basis for studying the software testing? Tell me, how is it possible
for   


 two men to come down the same chimney, and for one to come out with a




 clean face and the other with a dirty face? Don't you see?







 GUYS !!! Requirements for testers will look the same but expectations from 


 clients will vary every now and then.
