Its 2nd Jan of 2012 and its been over 1year passed started my journey towards testing. In this one year span of time I have learned a lot during my training period and afterwards. I can see much difference in myself.
During my journey, I learnt Why to test?, What to test? and How to test?. I started my journey with the question "Why to Test?" followed by "What to Test?" and now researching myself every time "How to Test?".
"Why to Test?"
I can say testing is essential before any product or an application gets or getting released into the market. Even a match stick will be tested before released into the market then why don't we do testing for our application which is more valuable. An organization with good product earns good reputation in similar fashion A company with a good testing team will always deliver high quality product. But never forget "No product is 100%bug free". :)
"What to Test?"
I can say this as Testing beyond the scope is called 'What to Test?'. We the people testers has to think out of the box in a generic way as an end user perspective. Testing only the functional specifications written in the document is rewriting the textbook examples. A person can achieve more when he can solve the exercise problems.
"How to Test?"
A tester thinking with little common sense will help in good results and that's what I believe and experienced in achieving better results. A developer uses logical thinking to indulge his logic into the code but somehow he loses his common sense while deploying it (I don't blame for it, its just a human mistake). But a tester has to use his common sense first then a logical thing. In my experience I have seen in many areas people are emphasis about bugs than the quality and I believe that is due to lack of common sense. But ultimately we need our product must be released with less bugs. That can be achieved by adding COMMON SENSE to our testing can get it easily.
With the reference of a functional document any one can test the product but executing beyond the document is nothing but common sense and that's the difference between an end user, a developer and a tester. I am using my common sense while testing. So I'm proud to be a tester and by this I can strongly say to anyone that
"TESTING IS NOTHING BUT COMMON SENSE"
TESTING WITH COMMON SENSE GIVES BETTER RESULTS. AGREE????
