One of the headaches of high-tech test programmes is having to debug the test arrangements before you can start debugging the things you're trying to test.

Henry Spencer

We can debug relationships, but it's always good policy to consider the people themselves to be features. People get annoyed when you try to debug them.

Larry Wall

Reusable rockets promise much easier testing because you should usually get them back, and you can debug as you go rather than having to get everything perfect the first time.

Henry Spencer

The true test of a brilliant theory [is] what first is thought to be wrong is later shown to be obvious.

Assar Lindbeck

Life is a cruel teacher. She loves to give you the test first and the lesson later.

Daymond John

See first, think later, then test. But always see first. Otherwise you will only see what you were expecting. Most scientists forget that.

Douglas Adams

See first, think later, then test. But always see first. Otherwise, you will only see what you were expecting. Most scientists forget that.

Douglas Adams

Before the first atomic bomb test, scientists took the time to calculate whether the blast would ignite the nitrogen in Earth's atmosphere and incinerate us all. The risk was low and the test went off, but Rees wonders what the odds would have had to be to discourage the bomb makers.

Dennis Overbye

A race between Perry and Christie would test whether Americans would rather be executed or eaten.

Andy Borowitz

The more I think about our species the more I think we just do stuff and make up explanations later when asked. But it's not true that I would rather write than read. I would rather read than write. To be honest I would rather hang upside down in a bucket than write.

Douglas Adams

I sometimes try to imagine what would have happened if we’d known the bonobo first and the chimpanzee only later—or not at all. The discussion about human evolution might not revolve as much around violence, warfare and male dominance, but rather around sexuality, empathy, caring and cooperation. What a different intellectual landscape we would occupy!

Frans de Waal

You should have to pass an IQ test before you breed. You have to take a driving test to operate vehicles and an SAT test to get into college. So why don’t you have to take some sort of test before you give birth to children? When I am President, that’s the first rule I will institute.

Marilyn Manson

The first two missions have some test objectives, some new capabilities that we're going to try to develop on orbit to possibly be used on later flights.

Mark Kelly

Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.

Brian Kernighan

If we are given gold, would we not test it to determine it's value? If we doubted its genuineness - we would test it by fire...and so God with us.

John Calvin

The only way to create a foundational document that could stand the test of time was to build in enough flexibility that later generations would be able to adapt it to their own needs and uses.
