Good Testers Vs Bad Testers

Hi Readers, Wish you all a Happy New Year. My heart full thanks to all people who really helped me to continue my writing. Though I have the passion to write, still I was looking for the support from people to share their feedback to help my writing better. Lot more changes happened in my writing style just because of the feedback you provided. I didn't see those as a feedback, I used to see that as a “caring”. Yes, it’s just because of you now I am writing this as my 37th blog. Oh. What an “Awesome experience”.
As I said in my previous blog,  I started blogging with the help of my colleagues guidance. Though they are busy in time, they are still helping me by managing their times. Oh. What an awesome colleagues I have.
Let’s get into the topic. Smile

Good and bad testers
This article is purely based on my opinion and it is not written in the intention of pinpointing someone else. What I have shared is purely based on my knowledge that I gained/witnessed in this past (1.8 years). I do apologies if any of my points I mentioned are wrong and I would be happy if you share your thoughts for which you say I am wrong.

 Good testers:
  1. Knows the importance of having good communication with people
  2. Share their knowledge
  3. Keep updating their skills
  4. Learn  about the product before questioning
  5. Set their own principles and they will follow those principles.
  6. Say no to blind believing.
  7. Will not be compromised with the bug they find that are not fixed.
  8. Work for product quality
  9. Know when to use tools and what tool to be used.
  10. Define his/job by defining on his/her own
  11. Make good bug report.
  12. Professionalism is seen in the report
  13. They act(work) like a good thinker
  14. They interact with social network
  15. They make their bugs fixed or they keep tracking the updates.
  16. See bug as a problem in the product.
  17. They provide the details as much as possible to help the developers to fix the issues quickly.  

 Bad testers:
  1.  Don’t communicate because they are scared or don’t know the value of it.
  2.   Don’t share just because of “Ego”.    
  3. Don’t have the passion to learn new thing
  4.  Don’t question and say yes to all what their lead/manager say even after knowing it will not work  well.
  5.  Don’t have principles in their life (career).
  6.   Blind believer. They don’t have trust on their thoughts.
  7.  They compromise with the issues if the developers are his/her friend and don’t want to hurt them by  any more.
  8.   Work for monthly salary (only intention).
  9.    Always go with tools no matter it could be of any tools
  10.    Define job by referring some reference material.
  11.    Bug reporting contains only the snapshot with max file size.
  12.    Professionalism is not seen in the report.
  13.    They act(work) like a tool
  14.    Don’t interact in any social network
  15.    Don’t care about the bug they reported. They don’t track any updates.
  16.    See bug as a credit for their job.
  17.    Blindly send the bug with no clear information about it.
