There's gods for everything, but of course computers didn't exist in ancient Roman and Greek times. What God or Goddess in your opinion would personify Testing?

And yes these answers matter. 😬

Pan.

Panic and pandomodium with a desire to escape it all for a party in the woods.

If we're happy with non-godly mythological figures, definitely Sisyphus though.

Sisyphus

ooh. that's good. I was thinking Atlas, cuz he carries the world, but Sisyphus is a better metaphor. Might offend my QA members though 😂

One well-known tech company has a rollout tool named Sisyphus.

BTW, pandemonium has nothing to do with Pan. Pandaemonium is the capital of Hell in Paradise Lost; I think it's roughly Greek for "the place with all the demons".
