Concerns towards my domain forced me for this post, when i made an attempt to discuss topics of testing and learn something from more wise minds on public forums and some communities in orkut...
but all those forums or communities i joined are of people gathered to share definitions, asking or answering questions about quality and testing to crack some interviews,
they are not concerned about practicing the art of identifying bugs? they are the one who pretend to be as testers, who works as testers...but not testers....
if they were testers they would have made an attempt of search for there queries than before posting on the public forums with irrelevant subject lines...
if they were testers they wont criticize or get attracted to testing jokes than testing concepts...
if they were testers they would have made an attempt to learn something new in his domain, and would have tried to identify who coined the terminology that he is mi's - using in his work....
If this is one side of my concern the other side is about companies approach in showing quality
is by preparing a test plan, writing test cases or scripts, get your test cases approved for coverage, prepare a traceability matrix,
But will a product achieve quality with this approach? as per my knowledge it wont.. there is always a chance of functionality missing while writing test cases and executing those test cases...
Companies may achieve a bug free product with this approach but they wont attain Quality,
" Quality is something about value in a product " , value here i mean is user convince of a product....
So there must be a change by adding up with new approaches of rapid software testing or exploratory ways of testing along with the approaches presently using
or else there would be no surprise if someone say that they were doing a monotonous job.....

Nice Post Shankar. It's hard to understand why 'testers' don't take the effort to look for information before posting in public forums. Anyways great post and keep posting :)
