Being Great at testing
Testing and development are different
-
Developer “I want this code to succeed”
-
Tester “I want this code to fail”
Tester goal is to build stronger code
Quality is a team effort.
As a tester:
Learn to test creatively
Don't ignore weird stuff
Some might say that testing is so important, that everybody does it.
Test Early. Test Often. Test Automatically.:
Tests that run > test plans that sit on a
shelf.
