Are You Hiring Yesterday's Testers?

摘要

Testing is a critical part of software product development, and the test group is not a place for second- or third-rate developers, or for people who cant learn enough about the product to be useful to you. Properly done, testing will reduce your cost to market, the risks of releasing with outrageous defects, and the cost of ongoing maintenance. If you're already managing a test group, think about where your testers are successful and where they are not successful. Supplement the staff you have with other talent when it's time for you to hire, and make sure you have auditions or other interviewing techniques to hire the kinds of testers you need. Testers don't have to be second-class in your organization. Hire and train your staff appropriately so that they fulfill the needs the organization requires.
