Nursery Rhymes For Testers

Nursery Rhymes for Testers

Inspired by Anne-Marie Charrett at  http://mavericktester.com/archive/mary-mary-quite-contrary , here are some updated Nursery Rhymes for Testers.

London Bridge is falling down,

Falling down, falling down,

London Bridge is falling down,

But it works on my machine. copyrightjoestrazzere

All around the cobbler's bench

The monkey chased the weasel.

The monkey thought it was all in fun,

Smart Monkey Tester.

Old King Cole was a merry old soul, and a merry old soul was he;

He called for his pipe and he called for his bowl,

And he called for a UAT.

Diddle, diddle, dumpling, my son John,

Went to bed with his stockings on;

One shoe off, and one shoe on,

But that matches the expected results.

As I was going to St. Ives, I met a man with seven wives, 

Each wife had seven sacks, each sack had seven cats, 

Each cat had seven kits: kits, cats, sacks, wives, 

Why is a manhole cover round?

Little Jack Horner sat in the corner

Eating his Christmas pie,

He stuck in his thumb and pulled out a plum

And said "Is this a feature or a bug?"

Georgie Porgie pudding and pie,

Kissed the girls and made them cry

When the boys came out to play,

Georgie Porgie ran his regression tests.

Baa baa black sheep, have you any wool?

Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full!

One for my master, one for my dame,

And one for the final round of testing.

Ladybug ladybug fly away home,

Your house in on fire and your children are gone,

All except one and that's little Ann,

But I can't reproduce that one quite on demand.

This little piggy went to market,

This little piggy stayed home,

This little piggy had roast beef,

This little piggy had none.

And this little piggy went to the Triage Meeting.
