Jim in QA gets tasked with testing the new profanity filter. He doesn’t know how to make a test plan, and Marty the engineer didn’t have time to make one for him, so Jim just loads up the game and starts typing in cuss words. It seems to work. But he knows that he needs to file a bug on the feature. When QA is in trouble, they always file a token bug on each feature if they can. That way they look like they’re working. (In fact, you can tell if a QA department is borked by how many token bugs they submit versus the number of serious issues they find.) It takes a while but Jim finds something to complain about.

In general, if you have to ask “do we need more time?”, the answer is “yes”. Of course the collorary is “can we *afford* more time?” – the answer to this is not always the same. Good to see that Cryptic is able to afford six more weeks of polish.
