We love building software and finding solutions to our everyday problems. Thundering towards mapping different plans, canceling many, and voting on the one that has the same goal applicable to all.?
Yet, with this thrilling work life, we still ought to make mistakes. Let’s face it! We are humans and we are going to make not one but many. However, we can still cancel out many of those with simple steps to profound software. Now, the major differences that occur in a software process happen in the software testing department. There are many things that are filled with a hollow gap, making the problems unamendable. To face it, here are a few tips!
- Proper work delegation. The first thing that we know about software testing is that it is deadline-driven. If the work is delegated properly to all the team members, it’s a two-way one. As every member of the team feels belong, hence become responsible for their given task. Thus, receiving immaculate results, as everyone has done their best.?
- Up-to-mark communication. The second thing is to communicate. Whenever you start the work it is inevitable to have questions. No one knows everything. You don’t either. Proving that you can communicate with your seniors if you experience some difficulties, diminishing the roadblock as soon as it hits you. Plus, with clear communication more work is done, efficiently.?
- Intricately detailed paperwork. It is said when everything is written on the paper everything seems to be set in stone. Plus, this formula applies everywhere. From immaculate mapping of the process to building its reports everything should be documented with the correct, tested data. Writing bug reports that are detailed enough to point out the problems with their correct solution. As, when the testing process time arrives, it's like a life-and-death situation. It is upon you how well you diagnosed everything and how you treated it. Save your software!
- Drain your laziness. There are many data and surveys available online, does that demotivate you to do one on your own? Even if it's for a singular benefit? If yes, then you might be on the most uninventive path. Software relies on innovation through and through. If you don’t have any USP, different from the other existing softwares, it is as good as if you have plagiarised software. Do your own research, pull up your own data, and double-check everything. It is always good to be assured twice.?
- Enjoy. Don’t burden yourself with something you don’t enjoy. As, the results of unhappy work always turn out in a loss. Be passionate about what you do. Use your brains, but live the process with your heart. Don’t ignore your feelings. If your intuition tells you that there is something wrong, check it again. Don’t be the ‘I don't care’ type of person. It hurts the enthusiasm of the team and breaks the value of your soul-invested software.?
These tips have become our mottos. There are times when we all feel out. Reminding ourselves that our ethics keeps us on track. Making us build a harmonious relationship between the people and the product. Hope you find this knowledgeable and relatable too!?
