Beautiful Testing

At the End

On the last day of testing at the science lab, we lingered about. Most of us were working as contractors. We knew once the testing was done we’d roll off the project and likely never work as a team again. This is part of a contractor’s work: projects end and people move onto other projects. Some people keep in touch, some don’t. I like the frequent change. I like being on a project long enough to see what works and what doesn’t. I like to get to know people. I like to see products launch and be used.

The days in the science lab were some of the last project days for the contractors. The overall product release moved forward with activities such as final validation documents, manufacturing considerations, and delivery details before final product launch.

I wasn’t prepared to see a total parental nutrition product used to care for a family member. But I’m grateful that in this imperfect world, people do their best to create products that matter. And each of those products needs people who can test.
