Ravishankar,

Just curious about one thing....

"2. Why have you chosen testing as your profession?

So, do you think that that testers dont have any/minimal load/responsibility on them ?
And you chose testing because you consider testing as an easy job ?!?

thanks

well yes u dont hv to scratch ur brain it gets fixed with manager sitting on ur head to complete the task in 3 hr even if developer may think of getting it fixed in 6 hrs

Reply to This

what if the dev thinks it is fixed ....tester thinks it is tested and passes

but customer thinks / finds out it has actuallly failed !

now who do you think has a bigger load/responsibility ?

I think responsibility is being equated with load ( number of hours) put in ....

but my thought point is that it is how much value you add ...

thanks
