Today’s post is about the pains of software testing industry. In my 4.5 years of experience I have not seen a company who treats testers as a respected team members. When It comes to testing, most of the company’s pay less to the tester as compared to developers. Testers are not the respected members of project team. Developers think that it is because of them testers are getting jobs. Yes its true because these people make mistakes very often. I have faced this numerous times that developers have given days from testing schedules. Developers take their own time , eats up testers time and then mangers expect that testing should be perfect and no bugs should be missed. I don’t know how is this possible. Further when it comes to any issue reported in UAT / by client these mangers come to testers asking how this happened and the developers just shed off the responsibilities by saying ask testers. Many a times developers spend whole day on some small issues and release the builds to the testing team at EOD expecting the results by tomorrow morning.
Come on give me a break we the TESTERS are equally important to developers, we too have families to support and spend time with …………..
Topic is open for discussion .....
ReplyDeleteVery True. Testing needs time, everyone expect the quality work and bug free application when it is delivered to Testing team , but they do not even think that Testing needs thorough analysis and time to dig into each and every bug.
ReplyDeleteBut when client, finds a bug, everyone is ready to bang on a tester.
Developers thinks by eating testers time, they will give a bug free release :-). Every developer do not accept that they have made a mistake, they take the things personally but they must understand that it is testers job to find the bugs or mistakes in the software.
Testers are equally important, otherwise developers can not find where they are going wrong or where they need to improve in the coding.
