Top 10 Reasons I Love Doing Software Quality Assurance

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!
