But after an automation job, I had a manual tester job and I had the chance to work with real good manual testers. And of course I don't have anymore the same bad oppinion about manual testers, now as am I am developer:). I do think that manual testers are very important and smart persons and not only in the testing process, but also in the design process.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21132099.post-1150813978474484992006-06-20T20:02:00.000+05:302006-06-20T20:02:00.000+05:30@ anonymous -buddy , tools are good but you who ex...@ anonymous -<BR/><BR/>buddy , tools are good but you who experienced the power of tools didnt experience that manual testers are ill treated ?<BR/><BR/>Ok, let me know why I wrote this post..

Believe me a normal manual tester couldn't discover it.<BR/>And we can't compare tools and people, is like comparing computers and machines.<BR/>So I think the manual testers are good when they create interesting scenarious. The automation testers are good when during their scripting, expand the testing area by creating different scenarious.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21132099.post-1149665686826392562006-06-07T13:04:00.000+05:302006-06-07T13:04:00.000+05:30An Excellent Job!!

Manual testing alwa...Hey Pradeeep,<BR/>Well said maaan ! Manual testing always gives you wat u expect whereas Automation throws (u may relate this word to Exceptions, Fatal errors etc.,) messages when u really dont want. Being a layman in automation I would ask any1 doing automation. "U guys run scripts... ns its obvious tat ur scripts runs even at night sometimes., How do u guys validate this point..."Wats de use(justice to de job) in writing a bug report about an error which has occured at 12 in the midnight when u r physically not present and sometimes dont know y it occured? " Am i makingf any sense? (not non-sense ofcourse..coz Ive asked u to assume I am a layman when it cums to automation )... I would say, Its always a gud practise to have a fix (by any means, a bug report, explaining de issue over a telecon with de client, talking to the developer sitting @ de next cubicle etc.,) for a bug the moment u see it !!! Thats y they call us (me :p) an Tester. Otherwise I would prefer people calling me a Tubelight... <BR/><BR/>No offence meant :)Prashant Kumar Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09910622311684902720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21132099.post-1147085319466412092006-05-08T16:18:00.000+05:302006-05-08T16:18:00.000+05:30@ anonymous - huh so you too experienced what I di...@ anonymous - huh so you too experienced what I did , I should be thanking you though !Pradeep Soundararajanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17849721523107325938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21132099.post-1147085226777970682006-05-08T16:17:00.000+05:302006-05-08T16:17:00.000+05:30yes, people here give importance for tools and som...yes, people here give importance for tools and sometimes i see that all manual testers wants to jumps into automation testing. thanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21132099.post-1147081793896363722006-05-08T15:19:00.000+05:302006-05-08T15:19:00.000+05:30@ Sharat - I honestly agree with you , my point to...@ Sharat - I honestly agree with you , my point too is basically to tell .. both are equally important and there is no meaning in saying that's good and this is badPradeep Soundararajanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17849721523107325938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21132099.post-1147081596610361142006-05-08T15:16:00.000+05:302006-05-08T15:16:00.000+05:30@ Anonymous - Me running short of ideas , maybe tr...@ Anonymous - Me running short of ideas , maybe true but I need to post something like this to make you ppl feel that other posts are really good , jus kiddin !<BR/><BR/>Anyhow , I too am in learning phase and am thankful that only 10% of my posts have not been good , if you could give me sometime I shall improve ...

It makes sense according to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
