Trust my words, emotions can help you find defects in software! In fact it is the emotions, which introduce us to some possible defects in software while testing it! Take this scenario! You are asked to test a website that handles online transaction! You feed in your login credentials and a window with “Loading...” message appears. It stays on screen for what seem like ages but still you are not able to log in! What would be your immediate emotion! Frustration? Anger? ...? Welcome to emotion guided testing! The next moment you might consider logging a performance issue related with the web/database server! Didn't your emotion help you in detecting a defect here? :)<BR/><BR/>I am glad that you found the topic interesting especially being a "non-tester"! What is a "non-tester" by the way? You might not be holding a designation/role of a tester, but I believe that every one of us does testing at some point in our day-to-day activities! It is just that we fail to identify it and do testing unknowingly! To become a tester you need not test software! By the way, life is the buggiest code ever written; so anyone who can be considered as a living being is testing and being tested every moment either knowingly or unknowingly, in my opinion! :)<BR/><BR/>I will definitely use my blog name in my resume when I seek a job next time around! Thanks for visiting this blog and leaving behind your comments! Happy Testing...<BR/><BR/>-DebasisDebasis Pradhanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15059356907987625705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1695460650467928609.post-32242573480991172702007-10-18T03:49:00.000-07:002007-10-18T03:49:00.000-07:00Hi!Fervent tester!!!The subject was quite appealin...Hi!<BR/>Fervent tester!!!<BR/>The subject was quite appealing….<BR/>Can comprehend the topic as a non-tester.<BR/>So how far you have succeeded in taking the risk in<BR/> putting it in your resume!!!Swarup Mohapatrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17519868511610693842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1695460650467928609.post-54412965896644606732007-10-13T07:12:00.000-07:002007-10-13T07:12:00.000-07:00hi debasis,Whenevre i feel like reading something ...hi debasis,<BR/>Whenevre i feel like reading something on testing i read your blog.

Watch lots of TV.<BR/>5) In order to make your (potential) manager even more comfortable, offer to distract and mislead the other testers in the group so that won't represent a threat to him either.<BR/><BR/>and, of course,<BR/><BR/>6) Get lots of meaningless certifications.<BR/><BR/>---Michael B.Michael Bolton http://www.developsense.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027725699187903416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1695460650467928609.post-48306847806442503022007-10-09T21:10:00.000-07:002007-10-09T21:10:00.000-07:00Where did this Sentimental feeling come from?????Where did this Sentimental feeling come from?????Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
