Why the Global War on Terrorism Needs Software Testers We used to live in an analog world where you could: Repair broken toasters with a simple screwdriver. Tinker with cars using a few garage tools. But those days are quickly fading. In fact, they’re all but over. Now everything is digital, powered by software, satellites, [...]

I used to work for a company which had a few groups of testers, each of them used on a separate mission on a need-basis. You would see a project manager go about asking “where’s my testing group?", trying to figure which of the groups was assigned for his project. There were arguments of course [...]

In many ways, the contrast between Olympic athletes and software testers couldn't be starker: One class of professionals symbolizes the ultimate in human form, strength, and grace. They are paragons of physical perfection. The other category is the exact opposite. QA professionals are often depicted as skinny or fat (but never in between). And it’s [...]
The open source (OS) revolution has been hugely successful – from Linux to Mozilla to WordPress. Even the world’s favorite encyclopedia, Wikipedia, falls under this broad "open" umbrella. And it’s not difficult to understand their popularity: They’re infinitely expandable, with add-ons and plug-ins. They’re supported by huge, enthusiastic communities. They benefit from tremendous security [...]

This seems like a silly question. Obviously, developers need to make sure their builds are stable before sending them on to the testing team.
