Frequently asked questions
Who is a manual tester?
A tester is a person who - to put it humorously - questions every, even the smallest, element of a website, software, application or game. The task of such a person is to catch possible errors which make the project the IT team is working on not work as it should. These may be missing functionalities or non-functional sub-pages.
What are the characteristics of a good tester?
If you are wondering how to become a tester and which qualities of your character can help you to get a new job, the answer is quite simple. In this profession you will need:
- regularity,
- inquisitiveness,
- meticulousness,
- communicativeness,
- the ability to empathize with the user.
A knowledge of psychology is also an added value so that you can better understand and test the possible ways of navigating a website or using a mobile application.
This type of work often involves bringing "bad" news and informing your colleagues about the need to make corrections. Therefore, it is also worth having well-developed soft skills. A tester works directly not only with a project manager but also with developers. This is why it is worth being able to arrange this cooperation in such a way that it brings benefits to both sides
If you feel that this description fits you, and you want to use your natural predispositions in the best possible way, then become a tester by buying the Coders Lab course.
What does a tester do?
An application- or software tester is a very important member of the team. He or she keeps his or her hand on the pulse and meticulously tests all variants of the emerging pages or project views.
In a nutshell, it can be said that a manual tester conducts functionality tests and detects all bugs and defects to then report corrections to the developers. All websites, software, applications or games go through this process - often more than once.
The tester's tasks also include creating scenarios for individual tests. This is a step towards streamlining work and following a specific plan. After all, no party can be left out.
In their everyday work, manual testers check the website or application for
- correctness,
- efficiency,
- reliability,
- security system.
Why can a manual tester be useful in the IT industry?
A tester, thanks to their accuracy and natural propensity for doubt:
- delivers quality solutions,
- speeds up the process of catching errors,
- ensures code coverage by tests,
- reduces the propagation of errors into the production environment.
In turn, all these points contribute to the satisfaction of the end-users of the system.
