The Tester commonly is called in Mexico "The people who doesnt know programming languages" in other words the guys that do not like develop software because they do not know how to do it.But the truth of it, is that there are lots of testers that generate good code of programming and their skills are profitable. I could say that in QA we have good automated testers that generate code with out the use and help of any record play back.
Nowdays is quite complicated to find a good tester in the market doing nothing, every tester is busy and have a good project or Job. That pursued me to construct my own "QA incubator", in order to generate skilled people and become them Tester, but I would say "Sofware Test Professional" (STP).
The basis to become a good STP are:
- o Analysis skills, able to understand any kind of business industry
- o Programming skills, able to automate test cases.
- o Non-functional testing skills, able to exercise the system beyond to its borders.
- o Database skills, able to verify the transactions in the backend.
- o Good communication skills, able to connect the tongue with the brain.
- o Able to mentor everybody.
