I have been asked many times what makes a good software tester. During my time in the industry I have seen a major shift in attitude of senior management and developers toward software testing. Also the quality of testers has improved a lot. For me a good tester is one who:
- has the attitude to walk in user’s shoes;
- is smart, intelligent, but can think like a stupid;
- has an eye for details;
- can think outside a box;
- can build relationship with stakeholders;
- is eager to learn new things;
- is able to follow instructions;
- is an active listener;
- is an excellent communicator;
- can work under pressure;
- can handle changing priorities;
- is master of his/her trade and tools; and
- is proud to be a tester.
