4 out of 5 stars
  • "I love the challenge of creating useful test cases and maintaining the Scrum Board. I loved the interaction with the team and working together toward a common goal. It was gratifying to take our product to the customer and see satisfaction with our work. I also enjoyed the training and demonstrations I would often offer. It is probably the best job to see a product go from inception to completion. I can't say I hated anything about the job."

    "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."
