But I always wanted to stay out of the box. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EOne day one of my colleague finds a bug which was totally out of the box, and it was something which was gonna break the working logic of the application. I was so proud of her and asked her to report it to our manager. But unfortunately she was threatened by him and told her that the role of a tester is to test if it\u0026#39;s working properly, not to break the application. I won\u0026#39;t agree with that. If we want to ensure that it\u0026#39;s working fine, then definitely it needs to be broken. We need an aggressive nature towards the application to break it\u0026#39;s flow by all possible means. She was expecting some good words from her manager but unfortunately she was ...Why this happens ??? \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ETesting is also a job, which needs proper care and time. It\u0026#39;s not easy as others might see.
