Ravishankar,

Just curious about one thing....

"2. Why have you chosen testing as your profession?
Developers go through a hell lot of stress Testing is much lighter job as we put load on them"

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

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
