Thanks ! this is pretty informative road map for Test engineering.
i have a question ( silly one may be )
How do testing teams and dev guys interact ? Do they sit in same floor ? Or its better they interact using defect tracking tool ?
Though i am in embeded wireless domain where margin for diffrence of opnion is less, my project teams end up on issue with not a bug , limitation, invalid req, this not right way to test, customer setup may be wrong, etc etc..( kind of diffrence opnion )and thus compromising on ideas. ( inspite of better process defined for the same :( ).
How is it at your place ?
why is this link here ? not good colour ? is not fitting window size ? wrong content ?
you guys have any mechanisam to help with this ? flood some light.
Congratuation for your post! You wrote very well what is the activity of a test engineer. Here in Brazil I also have this difficulty to explain my activities for staff! Regards!
I write software which performs the task of clicking every button and every link, and which then verifies the result of these actions Performing VERIFICATION for a search engine or any processing system whose results are not static involves great intelligence on the test automation side. Automation is one thing - writing automation to verify a dynamic system is much more complex. It seems like this would entail fuzzy logic, historical benchmark comparisons, variance / relevance score testing, etc. How do you guys do this? :)
Hi, you would allow me quoting your post, your blog or the subject of your post on my blog (in IT professions "http://profissoesemti.wordpress.com")? Thank you.

Nice Post!
ReplyDeletePeople many times, have no clue of what actually test engeniering means in terms of activities.
But the role of a test engenieer is far beyond that! definetlly!
Thanks, for sharing your thoughts on the role of a tester
Does everyone see the test engineer as the sole person on the testing team?
ReplyDeleteDo you see a testing team made up of 50% test engineers and 50% regular testers or are those the old days.
I feel all people responsible for validating system specs and finding defects should be as this post defined test engineers.
I write software which performs the task of clicking every button and every link, and which then verifies the result of these actions

ReplyDeleteSo what does a Test Engineer do as opposed to a software engineer in Test.
