Answer / sandeep guttikonda

Before answering this Questiong I would like to fisrt tell
you few good qualities of a tester:

1) Test to break attitude.
2) Attention to details.
3) Good knowledge on the application being tested.
4) Understanding skills.
5) Ability to communicate with both technical (Developer's,
Business analyst's) and non-technical (Customer's,
Manager's) people.
6) Documentation skills

We can find the answer from the above line too :)

1)The first and fore most is he should be good at English.
so that he can be able to understand the requirements and
can communicate with the non-technical people.
2)Good knowledge upon the application
3)Domain knowledge so that he can go in depth with the
application and can communicate withthe technical people.
4)Documentation skills (helps mostly at the time of raising
defects, so that next cycle person in the defect can
understand what exactly defect is).

Actually the question's 1) Good qualities of tester
2) which knowledge is must for tester are almost answers
the same.

Thanks.

Answer / vignesh

The first and foremost knowledge a tester should possess is
the ability to look at things from different angles, which
is anlytical skill. Knowledge about the domain is important
but what is more important than that is how to use testing
principles to effectively test what you understand from the
domain.
Say your domain says, the minimum deposit for a customer of
a bank is Rs.1000. Any one can derive a positive test case
like testing for 1000. But the need to check less than 1000
is crucial because that proves that the system may pass
below this range, which should not be as per the domain.
Above example clearly points out...possessing domain
knowledge and testing what you possess are two different
skills although both are closely related to each other.

4. When see the Application at first ,just think about in Negative point of view, so that you can crack the Application and Break the system, if every body thinks positive way it doesn't make the changes
5. Never give up if developer says this is not a bug, Be the point and Reproduce the Steps.
6. Share the information with your team Members
7. Don't feel shy to ask Any Technical and Non-Technical Queries because we are tester.
