How To Become A Best Software Tester?

• A software tester should be bold enough to ask a
  question, clarify doubts and should be able to
  convey their point in the best possible manner.
• Testers have to be good at communication, should
  be good at analyzing and should be a good team
  member.
• It has become a necessity to test the user
  experience without which testing could not be
  considered as fulfilled.

• The contribution has to be more from the testers
  during product delivery. They should be able to
  consider expected as well as unexpected user
  requirements and should be able to analyze every
  possible outcome of the implementation.
• For doing this with success, a tester has to
  think from a users perspective.

- What Should Be To Become Best -
Clarifications are more important than assumptions

• If testers have any questions in mind, then they
  should ask it right away instead of classifying
  it as an important question or not.
• It is desirable for the testers to understand how
  a product is about to work and the instances
  wherein it will not work so that testing could be
  done in both ways before marking it as Tested.

Think Out of the Box

• Think different. Think deeply. A software tester
  should have a clear understanding of the
  algorithms or they can even use mind maps which
  would help them make understand the application
  deeply.
• If you are a tester willing to create some new
  test ideas, then thinking and learning something
  new should be on your list.

Effective coordination with Software Developers

• Establishing communication with software
  developers especially when a bug is found by a
  software tester would be the toughest thing for a
  software tester.
• But it is a necessity for a tester to learn how
  to communicate with the software developers as it
  would help them be open towards understanding of
  others opinions as well as viewpoints.
• Instead of explaining about the bug to the
  developer, it is better to get feedback from them
  regarding in which scenarios or technologies or
  coding standards would the same kind of issues be
  expected.

Never Compromise on the Quality

• If you are a tester, then it is your
• responsibility to ensure best quality
• for the software being developed by
• the development team.
• If you have found a bug which the development
  team has asked you to ignore, you can get in to
  discussions with them and resolve the bug,
  because ultimately it is the testers job to
  ensure software quality and there should not be
  any compromise on quality aspects.

Be an important part of the Team

• This point is more applicable to beginners in
  testing. More than the total years of experience
  you might have as a software tester, how much you
  can contribute as a tester matters more.
• Having less experience does not mean that testers
  could not coordinate in the meetings.

Be an important part of the Team

• It is up to a tester to request the management to
  make them a part of their discussions and seek
  clarifications if any and make the best efforts
  to deliver the required skills that your company
  expects from a beginner in software testing.
