The role of a Software test engineer is very important in a company as he will be the person in representing on behalf of company is reaching the company's quality product to the customer, in this aspect he will be interacting with the programmer and the customer. He has to have thorough knowledge of the various operating systems, software, and hardware, also should have an in-depth knowledge of software test methodologies and development cycles, of course a good communication skills too.
As its told in my earlier posting that every company will have its own testing strategies and methodologies and few companies may not have which is very essential, hence one must have good knowledge of methodologies. Being a test engineer he should be well versed with the technology and to know what to test. A tester should have creative ideas for creating better test scenario and test cases.
Along the side of the above knowledge a tester should also be a good at documentation. He should be able to create and define various documents needed for defining test requirements. Most of the test documents are needed to be maintained and controlled as most of the customer will demand for the test results at the stage of final delivery of the product, also this document serve as proof of the quality of the product.
Friends here are the few points that make you to be a perfect testing engineer,
- To be interested in knowing new methods and technologies.
- To be interested in creating new documents and formats to improve the existing methodologies and technique.
- Good in finding errors of others.
- To think uniquely.
