Week 1 done! A tenda II segue com as automáticas sofrendo ainda sem sistema de ventilação 😅 Sorte com os correios eu tenho todo ano nessa época, já nem me estresso mais com isso. O kit da @marshydro_aliexpress já está a caminho, isso que importa e já já chega 🙌 Não vejo a hora de fazer esse recebidos especial e colocar essa segunda tenda a todo vapor também! Por serem genéticas diferentes, por terem ido pra terra em dias diferentes também e por serem testes de proveniências distintas, o desenvolvimento delas está de acordo com isso, cada grupo em um ritmo específico. Muito interessante notar isso, e apesar dos pesares tudo prossegue bem. Nesse ciclo tenho 2 Auto Orange Thai Haze @resin.valley , 3 Mimosas Purple Kush Auto @dutchfemseeds e 3 “Top Secret Autoflower” que eu não posso revelar mais detalhes do que isso. Ofereci ontem um pouco de labs e micorrizas, veremos. Planejo em breve colocar também um pouco de húmus e regar pra incorporar tudo no solo com o tempo. Seguimos sem pressa confiando na grande ópera. Ótima semana pra nós. #autoflower #resinvalley #marshydro #organic #testerlife #week1 https://www.instagram.com/p/CW2qyV4sJlL/?utm_medium=tumblr
How does being a tester sound to you? Does testing appear as something which anyone can do? Well, at first, that’s what I thought. But now, I see that being a tester requires one to be able to think differently than most people. I believe that “A tester is somebody who knows that things can be different”. Testers play a critical role in application development, they place themselves in the customer's shoes and act as a user’s advocate for everyone who expect an application to be as flawless as possible.
Before we continue, Let’s take a peek into a tester’s mindset and see what he considers is important while testing an app. Here you go...
Prioritization. As a tester, you need to understand what should be tested and what should be given less priority. This will also allow the development team to fix the most crucial parts of their application as quickly as possible.
Be documented. Not only in main test scripts. During execution, it would be better to document every result in detail, for future reference and for bug reporting. Testers should always have a screenshot or video of the bug encountered as proof, because without the right details a bug report is useless to a development team.
Think like the user. Remember, your job is to find bugs before the software reaches the hands of users. Pair your technical skills with an end-user’s mindset and finding the best, most valuable bugs possible will be easy. During this part, a tester focuses on what we call User Experience testing.
Explore. Don’t rush things! Explore the software, ‘test to break’, and be willing to suggest improvements; these are all attributes that make up the attitude of a good tester.
Learn from your mistakes. Nobody is perfect! So, it is normal to make mistakes, but learning from others and from your own experiences will make you a better tester. Testers can do no wrong with these questions: How can you improve your bug report next time? How can you prioritize better during the next test cycle?
Be Honest. Report any items missed during the execution that will lead you to come up with solutions faster. Note that even a simple error can cause problems in the future.
Be always updated with the latest Technology. Knowledge updating is a continuous process. We should always work towards sharpening our skills to succeed in this competitive environment. So, are you updated?
Attitude. Believe that one of the most important things in the work life of a tester is to have a good working relationship with developers. Build a good relationship with the development team for smooth communication during the execution, and you may add them to your circle of friends. Remember, attack the issues not the person :)
Do not Assume. If you have any doubts, don’t hesitate to ask questions like “Does this work as intended?” or “Does it work on all devices?”. As the saying goes, “Nothing works, whatever “works” means, we’ve tested it.”
Be a Good Observer. You need to observe and understand test progress and make necessary changes if it is off-track, in terms of schedule or testing activities. This mindset will essentially help you to keep yourself updated and ready with a course of action for any situation.
In day-to-day life, I’ve started to feel that good testers always want to improve, and there are always new things to discover. So let's get started!
