It would be nice to have someone experienced in testing to look at the way I test and suggest ways in which I could improve. Since ive been working as the only tester from the time I started testing, 'm trying to look for a project once my current project is over, where I can work with a team of testers so that I can learn better. But 'm not sure if this is the way to go about it since I don't want to end up in a team where 'm told that this is the way testing is done here, and these are the processes to be followed and this is how you should work as well.<br /><br />>> How about participating in Weekend Testing?<br />I would love to do that!! Ive heard of some the weekend testing sessions but 'm not really sure how I can go about it.<br />If you could let me know what needs to be done I would be more than willing!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01591978588220221332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21132099.post-15597030786155463472010-01-28T18:31:00.945+05:302010-01-28T18:31:00.945+05:30@ Akshaya,

To give you some background information about me, I am a Japanese translator (with an MCM degree) and got into testing out of interest. Thankfully for me, my managers were kind enough to give me an opportunity to pursue testing. <br />It is only after reading your blog posts and those by a few others that you recommended (viz., James Bach, Michael Bolton, Ben Simo, Cem Kaner, Shrini K and many more) that I realized that the way I tested was similar to exploratory testing :) <br />Although I do write test cases (mostly since its a client requirement), I have realized that I end up testing in much more details than what is mentioned in the test cases. Also, writing test cases to the details in which I test is not possible since I would be spending more time in writing the test cases rather than in testing itself. <br />I cleared my ISTQB certification last month. Although I realize how strongly you oppose certifications that give a false sense of being a good tester to anyone who clears them (Mostly by going through question paper dumps for 15 days before the exam), and although I agree with all the reasons for which you oppose them, I had to give the exam since it is a pre-requisite in the organization where I work. <br />Most of the times, when 'm reading a blog or looking at your videos, I end up thinking about what I would have done in a similar situation. Saw the AVG Installation video today. A few things I thought I would have done: <br />1) Clicking on all the links available during the installation 2) Opening the destination folder during installation <br />3) Renaming the destination folder during installation <br />4) Trying and deleting the destination folder during installation <br />'m sure you must have thought of all these options, I just mentioned them to understand if my train of thought is in the right direction. <br />Since 'm new to this, any advice and guidance from you will be appreciated. <br />Thank you so much for all the wonderful posts, its a pleasure reading your blog :)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01591978588220221332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21132099.post-46151672323938058342010-01-27T14:59:34.715+05:302010-01-27T14:59:34.715+05:30Hello Sir,

I do like your analogy and I think professionals of a specific profession must create a visibility to the general public of how it feels to be in that profession.<br /><br />That's what I think many testers whom I respect do. However, there is another group of people pulling us down by showing the world - clear a $40 - 40 question exam and you are a certified tester.<br /><br />The mighty and smart should survive.

I think that almost each tester could relate to.<br /><br />I once thought about that, and my analogy for testing Vs. development as career goal, is a bit like radiologists and anesthetists Vs. surgeons.

I have had so many chances to move to programming and leave testing. But I never thought of leaving testing and today I proudly declare myself as a "tester by choice." <br /><br />Testing will surely gain its shine in coming future. We, the testers, should collectively juxtapose testing as an attractive profession.
