TESTER
{ENEMY
for a Software COMPANY}

Testers consider a bug as their
friend. Hence Testers become bug friendly.
Other than Testing Team, people
consider the bug as their enemy.
Result: Causes the Tester as their
enemies.
If any Software Tester identifies defect in the build
product, then they file the bug in bug tracking tool.
Bug Count Increases
Result: Testers become enemy for the Developers.
Testers have the power to Stop/Postpone Production Release.
Hence at that situation, Testers will become a major enemy
for everyone not only from the development team.
Infact, software
development is a complex activity that requires a group of individuals working
effectively as a team.
How
to be a good tester?
It is the first question that every tester has. How to be a
good tester? Apart from the technical knowledge, testing skills, tester should
have some personal level skills which will help them to build a good rapport in
the testing team.
Be honest and Responsive:
Tell developers what are your plans to attack their application.
Be open and available:
If any dev ask you to have a look at the application
developed by him before the release, then politely give feedback on it and
report any extra efforts needed. Don’t log the bug’s for these notes.
Let them review your tests:
If you have designed or wrote some test cases from the
requirement specifications then just show them those test cases. Let them know
your stuff as you are going to critic on developers work!
Don’t take it personally:
Do the job of messenger. You could be a close target
always. So build a thick skin!
Be prepared:
Be prepared for everything, worst things might not happened till now, but
they can happen
at any moment in your career. So
be ready to face them.
