It's Never as Bad as You Think

I found a post today that everyone involved with QA/Testing should read. Work is only monotonous if you let yourself think that it is.

Before my stint as QA manager, I never realized how creative and analytic the process of QA/testing is. Of all the different ways you can think to make a piece of software, there are equally as many (more, perhaps) to break a piece of software.

I've said it before in some of my QA reports but it bears repeating: in large part, test scripts and test procedures are meant to guide you into areas of the system prone to failure. Yes, read the script. Yes, understand the purpose of the test. No, never let the script be the end of your tests in that area.
