ABSTRACT

The primary job of a software tester has been stated in many ways by many authors and speakers over the years, but like the others, I also have my own take on it. Being a tester really boils down to the job of designing and executing tests to determine the quality of the product to enable management to make informed decisions about its readiness to ship. If you look at just that description, it’s pretty clear that both security testing and functional testing fall within the umbrella job description of “software testing.”
