What God or Goddess would personify Testing?

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 😂

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".
