测试者的首要目标就是让自己无事可干

软件测试不仅仅是发现缺陷,更重要的是预防缺陷。通过提升质量并解决复杂问题来推动组织成熟和个人成长。本文引用BJ Rollison的观点强调了测试人员如何通过缺陷预防而非仅仅检测来贡献于知识库的重要性。

The primary goal of a tester should be to work themselves out of a job!

(关于他是谁,可以查一下,简单的来说是MS的test architect,也是How we test software at Microsoft的作者之一。)
看完之后有强烈的共鸣,或者应该说是敬佩。无话可说,摘录几句。文章不长,建议读一下,任何正在或者将来成为职业软件测试者。

“Software is knowledge. Software is the intangible product crafted by a team of people who have pooled their intellectual knowledge to help solve a complex problem and add value to those who use that software.”

“One way software testers can significantly contribute to the intellectual knowledge pool is through defect prevention instead of defect detection.”

“Organizational maturity and professional growth occurs through solving increasingly complex problems, not by continually dealing with the same problem.”

“Finding ways to prevent defects or identify issues earlier, and essentially drive quality upstream are exciting challenges that will advance the practice of software testing and increase the value of our contributions to the intellectual knowledge pool and advance the profession of software testing.”
