There are many qualities in a software tester.
One is knowing what quality is. Is quality meeting a
schedule, meeting the budget, having a user friendly ease
of use system, having almost error free code, meeting
requirements, and so on. You need to know this and you
need to put yourself in the position of the customer. if
you were paying for the system, how do you want it to work.
Being a software tester, have you tested the system well
enough for the customer to be happy with it.
A Software tester is someone who tries to break the system.
Because we all know that a user/customer is going to do
something on purpose or by mistake that is not a proper
entry for the functionality.
Also, developers only unit test their code, if they even do
that. A software tester needs to test the system as it is
integrated with other portions of the system. For example;
accouting. You can test the general ledger, payroll,
accounts payable, and accounts receivable separating and
they can all work great. But when you combine all four, are
the proper values stored correctly? Are the account numbers
correct as a whole and per each accounting area (payroll,
AP, AR, GL)
Anyone can perform test cases that have already been
written on paper, A software tester, is the person who
interprets and understands the system requirements, the
code design, attends static reviews, writes the test cases,
sets up the test environment, works with developers, writes
effective defects, tracks defects and brings to a closing,
and provides a current status. A software tester also
needs to write the test plan and get it approved before
testing begins.
There are more qualities/expectations for a software
tester, but these are a few of them to get you started.
