I'm not good at testing my own code....
Dec. 28th, 2006 02:54 pm...because I keep overlooking stuff. It's like me trying to proofread my own writing. It looks OK to me. Or at least that's what my eyes tell my brain, or what my brain thinks. (Believe me, I'm not perfect.)
The past couple of days have been a bug-hunting expedition. My supervisor found one, and a co-worker found one. I found a few as well, purely by accident, and fixed them on the fly.
I'd much rather be bug-fixing than testing. Even when I have "moments of D'oh!" when I (finally) see something that should have been obvious, or not. Stuff like misspelling a variable name, putting a period in instead of a comma, forgetting a suffix, or the all-too-common use of "==" when I should have been using "eq".
