Successful tester

-

 

Software Tester must possess the below guidelines to be successful,

• Concise: As simple as possible and no simpler.
• Self-Checking: Test reports its own results; needs no human interpretation.
• Repeatable: Test can be run many times in a row without human intervention.
• Robust and logical: Test produces same result now and forever. Tests are not affected by changes in the external environment. 
• Sufficient: Tests verify all the requirements of the software being tested.
• Necessary: Everything in each test contributes to the specification of desired behavior.
• Clear: Every statement is easy to understand.
• Efficient: Tests run in a reasonable amount of time.
• Specific: Each test failure points to a specific piece of broken functionality; unit test failures provide "defect triangulation".
• Independent: Each test can be run by itself or in a suite with an arbitrary set of other tests in any order.
• Maintainable: Tests should be easy to understand and modify and extend.
• Traceable: To and from the code it tests and to and from the requirements.

Remember, no job is easy and think before you comment.
