Love teasing bugs!!

Every company or organization have their best practices in place in order to run the operations smoothly. As the company or organization increase its become hard for Management to keep an eye on all the "Employees" whether they're following the best practices. You best practices include the work process, the escalations (if any), the efforts by teams and many more.

If you're novice to a company or organization then it takes time for you to get in the comfort zone. This is a scenario which mostly observed and there is nothing wrong with it. It is advised to a novice tester to seek or rather gain experience on their own, as that will help them to become an expert one day. There are some tricks and tweaks which they have to learn as the time pass by. I'm not saying please do not stick or adhere best practices of your company but try to find a better way for you. It is always advisable to cultivate own ideas which are within the limits of your company or organization, but at the same time are quite handful.

However, the problem starts cropping here. A novice user who got good experience now moves to state where they just makes sure that, they have to secure the job. Such resources are good in their given work but then there is no returns from them to the company or organization. Every company or organization would like to see their employees come up with new ideas which they can include in their best practices. This is the responsibility of an expert user to try and make sure that they try to find out ways of doing the same things. Best practices are for betterment of the employees as well as company or organization. This hurts when a novice employee come up with an idea and discusses with it an expert, but they do not see any or rather get any response from them. This demoralize the whole purpose of innovating new things of doing the same old tasks. This is bad both for the employee and for the company or organization.

"An airplane pilot doesn't refer to a manual". Likewise, the experts on a test team should not be required to go by the book which are the best practices referred by your company or organization. Best practices can be a birth of creative ideas, innovative ways of doing the same old things but in new way. Even if the expert employee is ready to take an initiative but because of the best practices levied by the company or organization can become frustrating at times. The Management has to make sure that they listen to the new ideas, innovative ways of doing things and encourage the employees.

The best way of doing things is not just following best practices levied onto the employees but make amendments too.
