When I started my career in Software testing I thought whether the domain that I chosen is of good one or not , later on exploring myself felt that there is something that I can achieve in this . A simple vision of creating the sense within the Software testing led me to explore many things .
On getting my self into the Testing the only question that started to poke me is “Who is a Good tester “
On making successful survey and having discussion with the persons who have achieved something in this field. I got some checks to test whether I am a good tester
The Checks for a good tester:
- Should be passionate about testing
- One who have good eye over the defects
- Good communication so that he can express the defects in more convincing way to all
- One who finds quality bugs
- Analytical and Logical Thinking.
- Error Guessing Skills.
- Problem Solving Skills.
- Creative,
- Enthusiastic
- Diplomatic.
- He should not be biased by developer.
- Should have an attitude to break the system and test if it's required
- He should never assume the things.
OMG checking out the above list I felt what is the simple way that I can achieve all those.
Then I found if I follow simple principle “5 W’s and 1 H “ is it achievable
5W’s and 1 H is :
Who?
Why?
What?
When?
Where?
When?
Where?
How?
The way of applying this :
When any application is given to test be clear in vision why to test and understand What to test respectively How to test , when and where to present findings so that it is convincing and clear to all .
Finally,be accountable if any one ask “Who” found this quality bug
Is it simple ?
The day I started to follow this above principle helps to acquire the qualities of a good tester .
Stick this note at your working Desk
