A Tester is an Ally and not an Enemy
Posted on | May 22, 2009 | 3 Comments
Testers make your job easier so don’t give them a hard time. You would think most developers realize this, but most don’t. I have seen countless times where developers believe a tester is out to get them.
I know some are thinking how does a tester help me. I write code and a tester will try to break that code. Let me let you in on something, you want a tester to find your bugs before it goes into production. Dealing with production bugs are stressful. Personally I like when something is found in a test cycle. That is one less issue to pop up when I am focused on some other project. Trust me, this will happen.

Have you read any of Cem Kaner’s books? He is such a great author, I have read all of his books and learned so much from them. I was fortunate enough to see him give a speech a few years ago on his methodology. He is as good a speaker as he is an author. Do you know of any other authors of Kaner’s reputation?
