There is always one more bug
Michael Bolton at DevelopSense blog says that a significant question for software testers is:
“Is there a problem here?”
Great question for testers. In a thought exchange, one of our clients said “I am a firm believer in the fact that however long we test, there-is-always-one-more-bug. As a testers, it is very crucial for us to know where to draw a line. Obviously, when we complete a test cycle, there should be no show stopper but there-is-always-one-more-bug lurking somewhere in the application. It is the same “there-is-always-one-more-bug” theory that pushes a tester to think differently, to think beyond what an analyst or designer thought and challenge the system.”
We believe that combining the quest of finding a bug (”Is there a problem here?”) with “there-is-always-one-more-bug theory” can work wonders for software testers in coming out with findings no one in the project team would have ever thought of. We believe it is these findings that differentiate great testers from average ones.
