"I love testing software. For me, finding the cause of a bug that has eluded the test team for days is exciting. Thinking of an obscure edge case that leads to a new, nasty defect is my thrill. I'd say that building a relationship with developers unused to having a tester around is a bit tough, and it can get frustrating if they forget to communicate with you, but having a developer who understands that when you pick apart his/her code, it's nothing personal is a great thing."
