Facing the "concerns and greetings" from my old aunt, as a software test engineer, how do you explain

The new year 2021 is here. Do you still remember the "care and greetings" from your old aunt last year? Are those questions that make you laugh and laugh now that you still feel embarrassed...

Netizen A: I said I work at Huawei
Oh, you sell mobile phones? Can I get a discount if I ask you to buy a mobile phone? "
"amount…"

Netizen B: I said I do hotel management
"Huh? Then do you serve the dishes or wash the dishes?"
"amount…"

Netizen 3: I said I was a clerk secretary
Immediately changed my eyes and looked at me from head to toe,'You won't be the boss's junior, right? '
"amount…"

Netizen 4: I am doing archeological research
"Really? Do you often go to tomb robbers?"
"amount…"

Netizen 5: I said I do computer software
"It just happens that my computer is broken, can you fix it for me?"
"I don't know how to repair computers..."
"You make a computer, why don't you even know how to repair a computer?"
"amount…"

Because of the popularization and circulation of various film, television, literature or folk works in all walks of life, outsiders have some deep-rooted misunderstandings. So how do you, as a software test engineer, explain to the seven aunts and eight aunts what you do?

Scenario 1:

At the table for New Year's Eve dinner

The most lively and "warm" moment of the year is the New Year's Eve dinner. The elders are indispensable at the dinner table for their ardent concern for the younger ones, and the greetings one after another will surprise you. Except for questions such as "Why haven't you taken the object home this year?", "When are you going to have a baby?" and other questions, the top ten greetings must be: "XXX, What are you doing in the city now?"

Last year was no exception. Grandma asked before eating:

"Er Niu, what kind of work do you do in the city? Isn't it hard work?".

Faced with the concern of the elders, as a junior, I had to go back, but if you think about it, if you tell them that I am a QA, they will definitely not understand it, and it will be very troublesome to explain.

So my answer is:

"Grandma, don't worry! I work outside and I am sitting in the office every day. There is heating in winter and air conditioning in summer. All I need to do is to type on the keyboard in front of the computer~"

Grandpa hurriedly asked:

"Then you work, are you usually busy?"
"Grandpa, don't worry, our company is normally closed on holidays, and weekends are also weekends; work is to write documents, click the mouse, and operate the computer."

Inner OS:

"Grandma, our test is to sit in front of the computer every day to enjoy the radiation, and then shuttle to the computer room to bear more radiation; in addition, we must always worry about the risks of various pots coming from the sky~"
"Grandpa, we don't dare to extravagantly ask for weekends during the test. It is very satisfying to give us a 996 work and rest time, but in fact we often work overtime until the early hours of the morning. The company is my home~"

Scenario Two

Happy New Year, grab a red envelope!

On New Year’s Eve, the family was sitting on the sofa watching the Spring Festival Gala while grabbing red envelopes with their mobile phones. After several rounds of "red envelope rain", the brother-in-law who hadn’t grabbed red envelopes suddenly said:

"Er Niu, why can't I get the red envelope every time? You are not a computer student, come and write a program for my brother-in-law, so that I can grab a "best luck" and enjoy it!"
"Brother-in-law, I learn computer, but I am not a programmer, I am a test engineer! It is testing! It is QA!"

Inner OS:

"Brother-in-law, you're still a post-80s, you don't even know what a programmer is, what a tester is!"

Scene Three

Little niece thinking about life

The little niece of my brother’s family has risen to the third grade this year. The little girl is a very thoughtful "little kid". She suddenly came over and asked me last year:

"Aunt, what major do you study in university?"
"Computer Software Engineering Major"
"Oh, do you sell computers professionally?"
"I…"

Inner OS:

"Little kid, you're still young, who told you that computer software engineering sells computers? Your aunt, I'm a software testing engineer, do you understand? Do you understand?!"

Scene Four

Three uncle's New Year greeting

I was born in the countryside when I was a child, and now my home is mostly left-behind elderly and children, so every time I go home during the Chinese New Year, I will encounter all kinds of opportunities to ask for help.

For example, when visiting the third uncle’s house for New Year’s greetings, when the third aunt saw me, she pulled me over and said:

"Er Niu, you finally came back. I heard your mother said that you were learning technology and working on computers in the city. My cell phone always has a bad signal. Can you check it out for me?"
I took the phone and said, "Auntie, this is because there is no mobile signal tower near your house, so the signal reception is not good. I will take you to change the card of the carrier someday and it will be fine~"

Inner OS:

"Auntie, I do learn computer, but I do software testing, not mobile phone repair..."

Scene 5

Auntie is visiting

When I went home for the Spring Festival that year, my aunt's family came to my house as a guest. When I was bored, my aunt asked:

"Er Niu, what is your Wi-Fi password? Let me play with Douyin!"
"Auntie, I'm usually not at home, I don't know the wifi password, I have to ask my dad"
"You didn't learn computers in the city, and you are the siege lion. Hurry up and help my aunt find a way to crack the wifi password. It's such a simple thing~"
"Auntie, this password really cannot be cracked by the computer I learned..."
"They are all computers, aren't they all the same..."
“…”

Inner OS:

"Auntie, I'm doing software testing, not a hacker... You really regard computer learning as omnipotent!"

Scene Six

Old classmates party

Going home during the Spring Festival, the reunion of classmates must be indispensable, from elementary school classmates, junior high school classmates, high school classmates, that is one wave after another. At the party, a female classmate who hadn't seen each other for a long time specifically told me:

"Er Niu, I heard that you majored in computer science at university, and you are now a computer science and technology talent in the city?"
"No, I am a software testing engineer, and my job is to do software testing to ensure software quality."
"Hey, software? Then you have a lot of hair on your head? I heard that people who make software are prone to baldness..."
"amount…"

Inner OS:

"Do you have any misunderstandings about software technicians? Those who do not engage in the Internet or computers must be bald!"
