   What makes a good Software Test engineer?

		A good test engineer has a 'test to break' attitude,

an ability to take the point of view of the customer, a strong desire for

quality, and an attention to detail. Tact and diplomacy are useful in

maintaining a cooperative relationship with developers, and an ability to

communicate with both technical (developers) and non-technical (customers,

management) people is useful. Previous software development experience can be

helpful as it provides a deeper understanding of the software development

process, gives the tester an appreciation for the developers' point of view, and

reduce the learning curve in automated test tool programming. Judgement skills

are needed to assess high-risk areas of an application on which to focus testing

efforts when time is limited.
