Yerf is a Capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) with an inexplicable passion for breaking software. Born in the wetlands of the Pantanal, Yerf discovered their true calling after accidentally sitting on a keyboard and submitting a critical bug report to Oracle in 2018. The rest is history.
Yerf holds zero certifications, has never read the ISTQB syllabus, and tests mostly by vibes. Results have been described as "statistically improbable."
Current status: Soaking in a hot spring, thinking about edge cases
đ¨ What Yerf Does (Allegedly)
đĻˇ Gnaw-Based Testing
Yerf will physically gnaw on your keyboard until bugs reveal themselves. 73% success rate. Keyboards not included in warranty.
$50/hr + cost of replacement keyboardđ Thermal Regression
Your application is tested while Yerf sits in increasingly warm water. If the app crashes before Yerf gets uncomfortable, it passes.
$75/hr (hot water surcharge may apply)đž Stomp-Driven Fuzzing
Yerf walks across your keyboard with intent. The resulting input sequences have discovered vulnerabilities in three major JavaScript frameworks.
$100/hr or 1 sack of sweet potatoesđ´ Nap-Time Monitoring
Yerf naps near your production servers. If Yerf wakes up, something is wrong. Correlation is not causation, but Yerf disagrees.
$200/hr (mostly napping)đš Capybara Code Review
Your PR receives a single review comment: "sqeak." Interpretations vary. Results have been upheld in court.
$30 per "sqeak"đŋ Forage-Based UAT
User Acceptance Testing conducted while Yerf forages for aquatic plants. If Yerf can complete the user journey between bites of water hyacinth, it ships.
$150/hr (seasonal, plant-dependent)đŦ Testimonials
