News Flash: Save the Oppressed Programs (STOP), a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the living conditions and lives of software programs and promoting alternatives to brutal software testing, announced today that seven more software companies have been added to the group's "watch list" of companies that regularly practice unethical software testing,
"There is no need for software to be mistreated in this way so that companies like these can market new products," said a spokesperson for STOP. "Alternative methods of testing these products are available." According to STOP, these companies force software programs to undergo lengthy arid arduous tests, often without rest for hours or days at a time. Employees are assigned to "break" the programs by any means necessary, and inside sources report that they often joke about "torturing" the software until it confesses.
"It's no joke, innocent programs, from the day they are compiled, are cooped up in tiny rooms and 'crashed' for hours on end. They spend their whole lives on filthy, ill-maintained computers and are unceremoniously deleted when they're not needed anymore. Further, the software programs are kept in unsanitary conditions, crawling with infestations of 'bugs.' It's a dirty little secret of the software industry and a horrible tragedy indeed!"
"We know alternatives to this appalling treatment exist," said a STOP representative, citing industry giant Microsoft Corporation as great example. "Microsoft is extremely successful at treating software programs in a kinder and gentler fashion, as it markets its software applications without any testing at all, thus saving innocent programs around the globe from such unthinkable treatment."
