TheJob4me article “For Tap|QA, Workforce Development Is DIY” highlights how tapQA uses a DIY approach to acquiring new talent for quality assurance testing and consulting.
According to Michael Faulise, “To me, there are two fundamental things we care about. First, creativity. A QA person needs to think of different ways to break something. Second is the analytical piece—the testing approach has to be well documented. Anybody can be a good cook if you have a good recipe.”
Rick Faulise uses this example about thinking creatively in quality assurance: “If you were to think about testing a log-in screen—most people would think you test a valid log-in and an invalid log-in. I would write a minimum of six tests: Valid, invalid, no user name and valid password, valid user name and valid password for a different user. I’d use unfamiliar characters, I’d log in and hit back and then forward. What I’m thinking isn’t how the developer built it—are they just pinging the database for valid names? You’re twisting functionality. What if both my wife and I have a password for the same account?”
