Software Quality Assurance, Why I love it:
#10
I love quality assurance because every bug I find is one that was not found by the customer.
#9
There is always more to learn about testing techniques and tools.
#8
Being part of a team that delivers a quality product gives me great pride.
#7
Running an automated UI test run kind of feels like the computer is doing your work while you sit and watch.
#6
I still get to program (automated tests).
#5
I like working closely with product visionaries. By this, I mean both Product Management as well as software architects and developers.
#4
The software does what it should and doesn’t do what it shouldn’t. That’s just how I think.
#3
Preventing defects is more fun than finding them and writing them up in a bug tracking system.
#2
I can make my team members laugh simply by creating goofy test data.
And the #1 Reason
Because quality is something that everyone wants!
