What would happen if programmers made swings?

Question

Software testing

Does anyone know the history of this picture?



Who drew her first?
In what context was it used? What books does she appear in?

The fact is that I want to use it in a talk about Behavior Driven Development, but first I want to find the source of the image and read the words of the author.

Answer 1

www.businessballs.com/treeswing.htm

Answer 2

This book seems to be the original source (see Customer image from Wayne Farmer). I read her translation, which was published back in Soviet times. There, just this caricature was already given with Russian signatures.

Answer 3

I have been watching a more advanced version on the network for a long time.

Answer 4

Also, the swing according to this principle is mentioned by Pratchett in "Fatal Music".
