There are management illusions, developer illusions, tester illusions and user illusions.The most common are:

 

1.Management illusions

 What is testing, at all

 Anybody can test

 You can test in quality

 Some products need no testing

 Automated testing vs. exploratory testing

 

2.Developer illusions

 My software has no bugs (or too few to care)

 The testers are going to find all bugs anyway

 Thorough unit testing is enough

 

3.Tester illusions

 I am allowed to stop bad software

 I need to test everything

 I can test everything

 If it works, it is good enough

 Thorough system testing is enough

 

4.Customer / User illusions

 Buy it and forget it

 We do not need to test

 Testers do not need to communicate with us
