Conclusion The job of a software tester is full of challenges, yet an enjoyable one. This is for someone who is equally passionate, motivated and full of enthusiasm. Finding faults in someone is not always an easy job! This requires a lot of skills and a bull’s eye to the defects. Besides all the qualities, a tester should be process-oriented as well. Like all the other industries, projects in IT are too worked in phases, where every phase has some well-defined goals. And every goal has a well-defined acceptance criterion. A test engineer has to carry many loads of software quality on his/her shoulders. While working in any phase of software, testers are supposed to follow the best practices and should align with the process involved in the respective phases. Following the best practices and well-formulated process not just helps to ease testers work, it also helps in assuring the quality of the software.
