Absolutely. You need to speak at the right level for the right audience. If you need to be techy and learn the jargon, then you must do so.
I'm an advocate of doing whatever you need to get the job done. There's no right or wrong way. No Best Pract…
Hey Rob,
Thanks..that's a lot of good points...
Your job is to report the bugs, not necessarily highlight where in the code it breaks. Programmers respect testers who raise 'real' bugs at the right priority with the right amount of detail to repro…
I'd suggest that if you simply have testers sat there running manual regression tests over and over again then you have something wrong with the strategy. I've seen it happen a lot.
But ask yourself what value there is in a tester running exactly t…
Well, test engineer being involved early might be a good idea for reasons pointed out but what role does a tester play in the early stages and what is the expectation set for a tester if billed early in a project?
Test engineer can play a big role…
Oops. And I'm supposed to be a tester :)
Sorry Tony. I had about a billion tabs open and confused myself stupid.
"badly managed teams, too many middle managers (as Tony mentioned)"
Rob..
Psssst, Rob, not that I mind something I wrote being acredited to Joe, infact it's a compliment but he might mind :-)
I'd be cautious about using statements like "Upgrade yourself with some good certifications".
It's dangerous to believe that sitting courses with certifications will better your skills and understanding. In my experience testing certifications ofte…

1. How can a Tester keep his/ her importance in the organisation ? and

Answer 1 : There are…

Disagree - sure it can be cool to point out to a dev the line of code that is wrong but you get respect by not wasting their time. Find the bugs that matter, be able to explain why they matter and make sure the devs can reproduce the defect as simpl…
Hi guys,,
Early Involvement is quite important and keeps testers updated and motivated towards AUT, but i believe the tester should be technical capable enough so that he can discuss issues at the same level as compared to the developers, if as a t…
I feel the most important motivating factor is to uncover bugs/issue that are not so apparent in the first glance.
If a tester is not interested in testing it might be time to look at a new career path?
Early involvement - Agreed, get involved as early as possible with everybody possible.
Metrics - Disagree, metrics highlight the fact that there's too much mid…
