Qulix Systems: Quality Assurance on the Edge - Quality Assurance specialists Day Celebration in Belarus
Belarus, Minsk, September 9, 2007- This day was destined to be a QA specialists Day worldwide. That was a day when a "computer bug" is first identified and named by LT Grace Murray Hopper, Director of Programming Languages for the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations, while she was on Navy active duty in 1945. It was found in the Mark II Aiken Relay Calculator at Harvard University. The operators affixed the moth to the computer log, where it still resides, with the entry: "First actual case of bug being found." They "debugged" the computer, first introducing the term.
One may think that a Tester is an accidental helper on a software project and plays a minor role. But there is nothing not worthy paying attention to in that profession. Every detail and bug has to be found and taken into account in QA of a system's run. This is what determines a qualified tester. The core thing here is not to worry much about 'friendly' attacks of developers reckoning that a tester is a project enemy who delays projects termination. A good thing here is that such developers are few today though everybody knows about counteraction phenomenon which means that developers work for creation, QA testers - for breaking and finding bugs in their work. That is understandable but that statement doesnt work for a good team. A software product quality can be provided only by a smoothly running work of every team member where QA specialists are a necessary part of it.
There are lots of stories and myths in every occupation. QA is not an exception. QA Myths - one of the topics that are a part of QA introduction course which is regularly read by our company experts in Moscow companies and Minsk universities.
First myth: QA equals Software Development Product Testing.
This is not exactly the same thing. Testing process is a part of Quality Assurance. The lion's share of QA goals is projects' quality procurement. The project can be considered successfully performed when all of its components are carefully compiled and gathered as parts of Swiss watch. That means that every project participator is perfectly aware of his responsibilities, goals and targets.
Second myth: A Tester job is much easier than a Developer's occupation.
Not true. I can site lots of examples as a back-balance to that statement. In that case I can say that people are getting mixed up with definition of a proficient TESTER and a PERSON who just clicks all the time. An expert in QA both is a programmer, analyst and manager at once. A whole baggage of knowledge needs to be under the belt in order to be a real pro in testing. Moreover, such a person is always a creative man who is able to lay out complicated tasks in a plain manner skillfully, thinks logically and sequentially, Alexander Zhendinsky, Qulix Systems Test Team Manager, narrated on Quality Assurance specialists Day Celebration in the company.
