What makes a good Software Test engineer?
A good test engineer has a 'test to break' attitude,
an ability to take the point of view of the customer, a strong desire for
quality, and an attention to detail. Tact and diplomacy are useful in
maintaining a cooperative relationship with developers, and an ability to
communicate with both technical (developers) and non-technical (customers,
management) people is useful. Previous software development experience can be
helpful as it provides a deeper understanding of the software development
process, gives the tester an appreciation for the developers' point of view, and
reduce the learning curve in automated test tool programming. Judgement skills
are needed to assess high-risk areas of an application on which to focus testing
efforts when time is limited. |
