Quote from Great Testing Experts:

"Testers don't complain; they offer evidence.

Testers don't like to break things; they like to dispel the illusion that things work"


- Cem Kaner

How do the Experts Like Test Analysts handle the Software Defects?

ISTQB advanced certified experts like “Test Analyst” as well as “Technical Test Analyst” remain interested in precisely recording issues detected in their areas of operations.

A “Test Analyst” tries to approach the problem from the user's perspective e.g.

# What would this mean to the user?
# What would he do when he encounters this situation?

A “Technical Test Analyst” concentrates more on the technical aspects of the problem e.g.

# Why did it occur?
# On what platforms is it visible?
# Is it affected by environmental factors?

The above approach to software problems directly corresponds to the quality characteristics the tester is testing. If the problem is a performance issue and likely within the purview of the “Technical Test Analyst”, investigation of the problem will be different than that conducted by a “Test Analyst” for a usability issue.

How the areas of “Test Managers” overlap with that of Test Analysts?

The defect reports come from the “Test Analyst” or the “Technical Test Analyst” who is performing the testing. We need to understand;

Behavioral control-flow testing was introduced as the fundamental model of black-box testing. The control-flow graph is the basic model for the test design.

Control-flow behavioral testing is a fundamental testing technique that is applicable to majority of software programs and is quite effective for them. It is generally applicable for comparatively smaller programs or even for smaller segments of bigger programs.

The Technique of Test Design & Execution

Test design begins by creating a behavioral control-flow graph model from requirements documents such as specifications. The list notation is generally more convenient than graphical graphs, but small graphs are an aid to model design.

Becoming a Software Tester can be a very challenging task. There are many who do it because they love to use their creativity to find problems or flaws in programs; others become a Certified Software Tester to prove to the rest of their colleagues that they can be superior and many more get a Certification just because of the economic rewards they will get from their employers. But, does a certification turn a Software Tester into an expert? The debate is being held constantly in many IT departments and among many development teams. 

While some say that Software Testers are not what they seem, there are some who consider them to be a vital part of the Software development process.

It is often questioned whether or not the tester actually did the testing because their results are used but is sometimes not confirmed.  It is extremely common to simply say that certain features were tested without actually having done so. A good Certified Software Tester, however, makes sure that every process on the list is checked and that every test can be repeated with the expected results obtained previously.
