How the fuck does this even slip through QA? And it's for online summer course registration at a college; you'd think enough people would've tried and failed for them to realize that something is seriously borked.

>QA
I take it you don't have a job as a professional web developer, do you.
>>54477984
>inb4 the checks are done in JS
>he can't even fix the erroneous client side code he runs
you deserve not being able to complete the form.

This so fucking much.
We beg and plead for more QA. Give us the time to write unit tests for the back end code, integration tests for the front end, and maybe even hire a QA guy to help automate some of that shit. But what do we get? "Nope, and push out the next project a week ahead of schedule regardless of code quality or shortcomings. We want to look good for a new prospect"
I love my job, but fucking hell it's a joke as it comes to actual development.
>>54478004
nah, I don't do webdev but you can't seriously expect me to believe that even the most BASIC QA wouldn't have caught this, do you?
I work on a team at vmware but even a 10 year old with no CS experience at all would tell you there's a problem here after a few tries.
IDK

Hi there!
You seem to have made a bit of a mistake in your post. Luckily, the users of 4chan are always willing to help you clear this problem right up! You appear to have used a tripcode when posting, but your identity has nothing at all to do with the conversation! Whoops! You should always remember to stop using your tripcode when the thread it was used for is gone, unless another one is started! Posting with a tripcode when it isn't necessary is poor form. You should always try to post anonymously, unless your identity is absolutely vital to the post that you're making!

I feel you man. Ended up writing my own testing framework for front end js , in my own time
>>54478047
In my company, basic QA is:
> write the steps you already know work in order to perform an integration test, as youve had to go through the steps yourself anyway
> wait a couple hours for them to follow it
> get told it's passed (obviously)
> push live
QA is a meme m8

>submitting online form
>sneaky fucks put "accept terms" and "sign up for newsletter" on the same checkbox
>submit button disabled until checked
>inspect the button with chrome
>button has a generic fucking ID with "-deactivated" adhered to the end
>remove "-deactivated"

>submit form without accepting terms and signing up newsletter
Satan only knows what kind of security hell most websites have with that kind of retardation being implemented.
>>54478477
>implying we don't make it fucking easy to bypass that shit intentionally
I fucking hate sneaky shit like that and take great joy in knowing that I can make it obvious to disable. The developers who implement it aren't usually the ones who ask for it. We know it's shitty and hate it just as much.

there's no way this is true
no one can possibly have been this dumb. I want the site address so I can prove you just drew this up in an IDE and this doesn't actually exist somewhere on the web.

Nice society you got there

He said phone number not cellphone.
Even then it's up to you to carry it everywhere or keep it on.
