Testing in the IT services firms in India, well, atleast most of them.

Note - Cuss words ahead. After a few yrs of wasting my career around no good losers, this is the best way I think to make your point. Sorry for any grammatical errors, if any. English is not my first language and I am trying to be good at it. Its Saturday, early (very early) Morning in India and my Manager just can't wait for the Sun to rise. Guess why? Friday was the delivery day for the plethora of changes our client sitting in US, who does not even feel the need to have a dedicated tester in his team, had ordered. And btw, in India, the tag for an employee not being 'Billed' to the client is, 'Non Billable'. How tough was that to guess? Back to the point. Now the unreasonable part of a tester's life in an average IT services company in India. In the following discussion, Manager: M and Tester: T M: We have promised the date from the client.

Although, self doubt once in a while is always healthy. A tester needs to doubt almost everything the company claims the software does. Even if it does what is advertised one should not be easily convinced. She should be hard to pacify even though the feature works in different browsers and internet speeds. Even though the said event occurs a 1000 times there still a chance it may not occur 1001th time. Every submit, select, cancel and more should be repeated in different situations almost to the point of obsession. Hell, James Whittake...

Don't start looking for issues right from the word GO.

Only idiots do that. Imagine you are handed a machine. You don't know what its made of, you have some idea of what it should do and you are asked to test it. What should be your first thought? Mine is 'How do I use it?' If you don't know how to you use it, how its supposed to work and who exactly is the user, do you think testing it would be fruitful. So the next time someone hands you a piece of code, start from how to use it, get comfortable as if you are a user of it on a daily basis and then maybe you can start thinking of ways to find issues with it.
