作者列出了大多數軟體測試人員應該有的特質
他們是探索家
- aren't afraid to venture into unknown situations.
- love to get a new piece of software, install it on their PC, and see what happens.
他們是問題排除專家
- good at figuring out why something doesn't work.
他們是非常堅韌不懈的
- keep trying.
- They may see a bug that quickly vanishes or is difficult to re-create.
- Rather than dismiss it as a fluke, they will try every way possible to find it.
他們非常有創造力
- Testing the obvious isn't sufficient for software testers.
- think up creative and even off-the-wall approaches to find bugs.
他們是完美主義者
- They strive for perfection, but they know when it becomes unattainable and they're okay with getting as close as they can.
他們能做出很好的判斷
- need to make decisions about what they will test, how long it will take, and if the problem they're looking at is really a bug.
他們非常老練並且善於外交
- Software testers are always the bearers of bad news.
- They have to tell the programmers that their baby is ugly.
- Good software testers know how to do so tactfully and professionally and know how to work with programmers who aren't always tactful and diplomatic.
他們是非常有說服力的
- Bugs that testers find won't always be viewed as severe enough to be fixed.
- Testers need to be good at making their points clear, demonstrating why the bug does indeed need to be fixed, and following through on making it happen.
