On the road again

On the road again,
Just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is preaching testing to my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again

Tonight I'm off to the St. Louis Perl Mongers meeting to preach the testing gospel. Come on down and join the fun, and maybe get some free books!


If you're preaching...

... does the audience get to test-ify :-)

Yes! They have to! It's their MANIFEST destiny!

"Now, if we can SKIP to Hymn number...."

"Now, you may be asking yourself, what is God's plan? In this case, it's 1..47! OK?"

Oh what a TODO!

I was thinking more Guy's & Doll's myself...

... ahem...

NICELY-NICELY:
I dreamed last night about writing Perl in Heaven
And by some chance I had brought modules along,
And there I stood, and I hollered,
"Someone install them,"
But the programmers they knew right from wrong

For the people all said,
"Test first, test first you're ruining the code."
ENSEMBLE:
People all said,
"Test first, test first you're ruining the code."

NICELY-NICELY:
"And the devil will drag you under
By the sharp exceptions in your checkered perl;
Test first, test first, test first, test first
NICELY-NICELY & ENSEMBLE:
Test first you're ruining the code."

NICELY-NICELY:
I sailed
ENSEMBLE:
OOH...
NICELY-NICELY:
Away on that little boat to Heaven
And by some chance found a requirment in my fist,
And there I sat,
Nicely tapping out a module,
But the programmers were bound to resist

For the people all said, "Beware!"
ENSEMBLE:
People all said, "beware, beware!"
NICELY-NICELY:
You're on a heavenly trip."
People all said, "beware!"
ENSEMBLE:
People all said, "beware!"
NICELY-NICELY:
"Beware you'll scuttle the ship;

And the devil will drag you under
By the fancy tie in your wicked perl;
Test first,
NICELY-NICELY & ENSEMBLE:
Test first, test first, test first,
Test first you're ruining the code."

NICELY-NICELY:
And as
ENSEMBLE:
Oooh...
NICELY-NICELY:
I laughed at those programmers in Heaven
Ah, ah, ah, ah!
A great big crash came and trashed my motherboard,
And as I sank, and I hollered,
"Someone save me,"
That's the moment I woke up, thank the Lord!
ENSEMBLE:
Thank the Lord, thank the Lord!

NICELY-NICELY:
And I said to myself, "Test first"
ENSEMBLE:
Said to himself, "Test first, test first"
NICELY-NICELY:
"Test first you're ruining the code."
Said to myself, "Test first"
ENSEMBLE:
Said to himself, "Test first"
NICELY-NICELY:
"Test first you're ruining the code

And the devil will drag you under
ENSEMBLE:
And the devil will drag you under
NICELY-NICELY:
With a app so heavy and full of bloat,
Test first
NICELY-NICELY & ENSEMBLE:
Test first, test first, test first, test first,
Test first you're ruining the code-
Test first you're ruining
Ruining the code
Test first you're ruining
Ruining the code
Test first you're ruining
Ruining the code
Test first you're ruining
Ruining the code

(Can you feel it? Yes! It's Frank Loesser spinning in his grave :-)

Wish I'd known, I would've driven up 44 from Springfield!
