I do not know how many of us will agree with my opinion. But, this is my opinion and any constructive discussion is welcome.
Do you always try to be honest with your application?
This question struck to my mind...I do not know why but it just happened. Over here I am talking about the application you have tested or testing. As a tester we always cry that we do not have sufficient time to test the application so it may happen that some bugs will not be discovered when you test the application. I believe majority of us will say this - I just want everybody to be honest with this.
I started thinking - why this question came to my mind. I thought to myself.....any reason for this to happen today. I suddenly realize that this is because there was an issue cropped up for the application tested by me some days ago. I just opened the application and try to see what the issue reported by the customer. I said to myself - nice one! I miss out on this one....how? We all know the cost of a defect is more once it cropped up on production site. To be honest with myself...but do we really have bug free application delivered to the production. =) No. So, do I need to feel bad about it that I was unable to catch it? I know for the fact that "obvious" things or "obvious" issues are supposed to caught at any cost because you are following a certain pattern and still you can not catch up then obviously you are not performing the task with utmost concentration. In this case, I felt bad not because it was happened on production but it was not an "obvious" issue.
Bug hunting - it’s a continuous process as we all can not carry out what all actions will be taken by the end-users. We can just assume the scenarios, even if we start to think like an end user still there will be some scenarios which we never try. That’s what happened in my case, the user has tried some actions which were not obvious but then that does not mean that I am not at fault.
This gives me new learning and pump-up for other task in hand.
Best Regards,
Amit
