I'll never understand this line of thinking. A good tester doesn't think the way a good developer does. It's a different but equal and necessary skill in order to provide a strong product.
- studentik 7y agoFully agree! Development is about making things work, testing is about breaking things. Sadly, some managers think that 'developed' includes 'tested' and expect flawless results from developers. It's like being a dancer and a painter simultaneously - possible, but has its limitations.

- bradknowles 7y agoMore like being a dancer and a demolitionist at the same time. Not only messy, but also quite deadly.
