Testers are like Fighter Pilots
If you think about it our "mission" is to go out and find the enemy (defects) and shoot them down (or at least be the air tactical guys who guide the fighter pilots to them). We do this by various means and record our victories with symbols (defect reports) on our planes fuselage.
Now I don't know about you, but my plane is starting to look like a pile of flying post it notes. How about you, how many "kills" do you have? How many times over are you an Ace?
As you can see from the WebLog title I am a bit sarcastic and cynical about this thing we call Software Testing. Over my years of experience in Software Development and Testing I have seen some very very Dilbert things happen.
Hopefully this Blog will be a good place for you to learn from some of the things I have experienced and allow you to be more effective in your efforts in Software Testing.
