At present the majority of people agree that web site testing, desktop testing or mobile application testing is of outmost importance for creating of a quality software product.
But unfortunately the role of software testers is misunderstood not only by ordinary people, but by a lot of IT experts, and by software testers themselves.
Testers struggle with the development team during processes of software creation instead of joining forces on achieving the best quality of the elaborated application. Both testers and developers claim that they do everything possible for the project and the other party (testers or developers) raises difficulties.
In most cases the causes of contentions are poorly written bug reports, and assertion of their correctness and refusal to admit their errors by developers.
In order to get excellent results both the software engineers and testers should understand that all of them pursue the same goal – creation of high quality, salable program. So, they must cooperate and facilitate as much as possible job for other project parties.
To Produce Competitive Applications it is Necessary That:
- Software engineers admit their mistakes and correct them. They should understand that nobody is perfect and if they did something wrong it does not mean that they are incompetent. Quite the opposite, only real professionals have enough courage to admit that they’ve done something improperly.
- Software testers should write clear, understandable and informative bug reports. They also should respect the developers, their job, in spite of stupid mistakes they make. Testers should keep in mind that their bug reports are the only proofs of their hard work and only by means of bug reports testers can contribute to a project.
So, a professional software testing company often reminds its testers that their main task is to write good, informative bug reports. Those who do it deliver a lot of benefits for a project and are always in-demand.
The peculiarity of mobile testing, desktop testing or web site testing is that no matter how hard testers work, the only proof of their activities is bug reports. If a tester can find a lot of significant defects for a short time but cannot produce good bug reports, he or she is useless for a project regardless of all his or her talents.
That is why a software testing company always pays much attention to teaching of novice testers how to write bug reports. Such skills are of outmost importance for any software tester.
