Explain what makes a good test engineer?

Answer Posted / b.ramyasri

A good test engineer has a 'test to break' attitude, an
ability to take the point of view of the customer, a strong
desire for quality, and an attention to detail. Tact and
diplomacy are useful in maintaining a cooperative
relationship with developers, and an ability to communicate
with both technical (developers) and non-technical
(customers, management) people is useful. Previous software
development experience can be helpful as it provides a
deeper understanding of the software development process,
gives the tester an appreciation for the developers' point
of view, and reduce the learning curve in automated test
tool programming. Judgment skills are needed to assess high-
risk areas of an application on which to focus testing
efforts when time is limited.
