How Can a Tester Improve His Working Process?

Software testing closely echoes the changing of the seasons, because of its timing and work conditions. It can be full-featured website testing[1] with the distinct specification at one period of time, and vice versa – ad-hoc testing[2], defined by its quickness and the absence of certain requirements.
Any QA company understands that the testing is a repeating process, however, that does not mean that here can be nothing to improve.
What Are the Directions of the Tester Working Improvement?
- Asking questions – the main rule for every professional person involved in testing. Firstly, a tester should be sure that he realizes the product under test, understands the requirements and users’ expectations.
- Learning the users’ stories – one of the priorities because in essence the users are those whom the testing product is being made for. Executing usability testing[3], the specialist should not forget that the users are the reviewers of the done work.
- Expanding the knowledge in QA – following the blogs, websites and forums, dedicated to the testing area is a great plus for the individual and professional growth of every specialist in IT sphere.
- Documenting of the steps performed – appropriate design of the testing structure is the well-known tester’s feature. In order to successfully fulfil testing, it is of great importance to compose the high-quality tables and diagrams before the test process begins.
Exception of the emotional devotion – it frequently happens when the tester takes the task to the heart. For example, the bug submitted as the “Critical” is gained the “Not a bug” status. Do not take it personally. Otherwise, the testing brings the poor results, and much time is being wasted.
