Developers are
needed to make software but testers are also needed to assure quality software. However, many times testers seem to think that their objective is finding bugs rather than ensuring quality software is being developed. The following qualities should be looked for when recruiting a tester.
- Methodical
- Organized
- Systematic
- Tactful/Diplomatic but firm
- Evidence oriented
- Understanding
- Detail oriented
- Clear and concise communicator
- Forward thinking (Need to anticipate risks)
- Curious to experiment and see outcomes
Of course, not every
tester will have all those qualities completely. Some will take years of
testing experience to acquire those attributes. There are no perfect developers
and testers but we can make a team with testers completing those desired
qualities.
