- Skillset: A tester needs to be creative in thinking and should be able to think like a user as if using the real application or the product.This is the best way to find out the potholes in the application. All the work done takes time as it has to be done recursively, so it needs to be automated.Here comes the coding skills in the picture.So a strong grip on the coding is required apart from different tools and technology
- New tech: Infuture we have great opportunities for the development of different types of application that in turn gives opportunity to testing those application. Different types of application will require different types of testing method.
- Importance: Testing is no less than developing the application. An application with multiple loops in it is of no use and is simply a waste of time and money.There is no use of creating an application that has zero performance. So every application once developed undergoes rigorous testing to give a clean and enjoyable experience to our users. Unless a signify is given from the tester the code is not moved to the real world.And a tester is equally responsible for any failure in the application.
- Payslip: If this question was asked to me when I was a fresher, I would have surely taken a pause, as there is a common myth among the people that the testers are not paid well.But actually this isnt true.Testers are paid quite well in India and around the world because of the nature of the job just like the developers.Its just that you need to have the skills, good performance, certification, etc..
