SEVEN SOFTWARE COMPANIES ADDED TO "WATCH LIST"
New York, ________ -- People for the Ethical Treatment of Software
(PETS) announced today that seven more software companies have been
added to the group's "watch list" of companies that regularly
practice software testing.
"There is no need for software to be mistreated in this way so that
companies like these can market new products," said Ken Granola,
spokesperson for PETS. "Alternative methods of testing these
products are available."
According to PETS, these companies force software to undergo
lengthy and arduous tests, often without rest, for hours or
days at a time. Employees are assigned to "break" the software
by any means necessary, and inside sources report that they
often joke about "torturing' the software.
It's no joke, said Granola. Innocent programs, from the day they
are compiled, are cooped up in tiny rooms and crashed for hours on
end. They spend their whole lives on dirty, ill-maintained
computers, and are unceremoniously deleted when they're not needed
anymore.
Granola said the software is kept in unsanitary conditions and is
infested with bugs.
We know alternatives to this horror exists, He said, citing
industry giant Microsoft Corporation as a company that has become
extremely successful without resorting to software testing.
