A good attitude will reimburse

Sat, 21 Jan 2006 07:00:57 -0600

As a test engineer, what will be your attitude whenever you find a bug?Only few have the attitude of posting all the bug whatever he/she finds in the application. Rest has the habit of posting only the major bugs there by ignoring minor one. Obviously, it shows, the tester is interested in maintaining the personal relationship with the developer rather than the quality of the software. If not we won’t encounter System crash in ATM’s. I have compiled few Quotations; by following any one of these will keep you in positive state of mind. Always keep a quote in a mind while testing which will make you a better tester.

Transition of Bugs

I do testing in application which is developed under eXtreme Programming model. Due to the short span of the development process, we always work with bitter pressure. Whenever I encounter a bug, I immediately logged the issue in the tracking tool and if necessary I would made a face to face discussion with the developers.

I was recently testing an application which had an excellent search function. Most of the pages had a data grid with 4 to 6 columns. The point here I wish to mention is, the bugs identified is taking different weightage at different levels of development process. Within a period of week, the high priority bug becomes obsolete.
