A TPS report (Testing Procedure Specification) is a document used by a quality assurance group or individual, particularly in software engineering DefinitionThe official definition and creation is provided by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) as follows: {{quote|The Test Procedures are developed from both the Test Design and the Test Case Specification. The document describes how the tester will physically run the test, the physical set-up required, and the procedure steps that need to be followed. The standard defines ten procedure steps that may be applied when running a test.[1] In popular cultureAfter its use in the comedic 1999 film Office Space, "TPS report" has come to connote pointless, mindless paperwork,[2] and an example of "literacy practices" in the work environment that are "meaningless exercises imposed upon employees by an inept and uncaring management" and "relentlessly mundane and enervating".[3] According to the film's writer and director Mike Judge, the abbreviation stood for "Test Program Set" in the movie.[4] In the movie, multiple managers and coworkers inquire about a single error that Peter Gibbons makes in utilizing a wrong cover sheet to send his TPS reports. It is used by Gibbons as an example that he has eight different persons he directly reports to. The 2015 puzzle video game Please, Don't Touch Anything featured the question 'What is a TPS Report?' as one of many hidden clues that lead to a unique ending. In an early episode of ABC's Lost, originally airing on October 14th, 2005, reference to the infamous film was made during a brief flashback scene starring Terry O'Quinn's character, Mr. Locke.
