Silent Night? Thank a tester.

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the cubes
Not a coder was patching some critical kludge.
The managers nestled all snug in their beds
Had seen the unit tests, all green, no reds.
But not just with machines was this code made pure
Our testers have brains, and they used them for sure.
These sapient lads, and lasses precise
Had trapped critical bugs, with minds like a vise.
Performance engineers had worked their due tasks
So e-commerce ran smooth, nobody need ask.
Last minute shoppers with presents not sent,
Just a blip on the radar, CPU fifteen percent.
And the greatest reward our whole team could get
Was this silent night, with no pain of regret.
For we tested it well, and we tested it right
Twas a Merry Christmas for all, and for all a good night!
