2007-Aug-15 - A business opportunity |
"How did it do that ? it's impossible "
So said the lady at the bank after printing out a form for me to sign.
I wasnt doing anything difficult, I have a standing order to transfer money to my daughters account every month to pay her rent whilst she's at uni, it hadn't gone through this month so I got the "Daaaaaaaaaaad" call and went into the bank to sort it out
It just needed renewing and I had to sign the agreement form only the form showed MY account number and not my daughters. The on-screen version correctly showed hers.
Which led to the cry from the bank lady
She tried it again, same result and same cry of bafflement so I told her I tested computer programs for a living and these things most certainly did happen
So that was it, she explained that it was a new version of the program and then showed me the bug she really really hated
To identify a new customer she had to select an option from the menu only the menu was too long and the option was off-screen and scrolling didn't work but she'd found a workaround to get over it
I tutted about the lack of testing it must have had and told her that no way such a bug should have got into the program
Shame I didnt have a business card to pass on...
