    There are so many important skills to be a Tester. In my opinion these 3 below skills are key.
    + critical thinking.
    + Problem solving.
    + Communication
    When you get bugs, you should try find out the problem behind the issue. What is logical, technical issues causing bugs, if you're able to find it down, you can describe the bug which is clearer and this is both Communication and Problem solving skills, when you're in rush situation, you need to know how to create solution and raise the current situation and testing solution that is suitable. Yeah there are more and more skills to say.

    Communication is a human skill, not a tester skill.
    Logic is important as well as curiosity regarding the product. But logic and a longer retention time for data is important.

      i believe that you don't understand the level of communication they are trying to imply on that answer.
      Testers have to swap from a clueless end user to a product owner, software architect, a developer or a stakeholder, you need to change your mindset to *understand* every approach and then the rest of your skill set come in hand but not before.

    the most important skills for tester is to understand the requirement business logic,functional flow,impacts for completing work and communication is also important but communication doesn't have any priority in skills......tester work talk not a communication......................if someone good in communication but poor in knowledge then he/she cant be a professional tester.

  • @Lektuerekurs

    All sensational points! I would also say "Communication" - and purely for the Tester (vs. Test Manager) I would add bonus skill, that was not important enough to be mentioned along the great points in the video: enjoy repetitive work every now and then. This is not meant negatively! Sometimes you have to repeat the same tasks and test cases days and weeks in a row, and that's okay, too.
    The last guy with the agile stuff is the best one though => use your head and heart and not some BS hype

    I agree with what the last guy said. Agile has become a hype. Some testing fail because testers are forced to adapt to agile methodology. Truth hurts.

    I agree that communication is the most important attribute of a Tester. Furthermore, have as much knowledge as possible of what you're going to test and ask questions, even if the question may sound "dumb" because you are the one responsible for saying yay or nay that either a certain software piece or the entire software is ready for production.

    First of all, you need to have a keen observation sense, second of all you need to have a talent for testing various possibilities, communication is useless without the first two.

      That's the developer aproach normaly. The QA is more involved with the product owner as an extent of his capacity, so the QA most likely is just trying to build a better product.

    The training is good I see about 20 or more doing this training, how many will get jobs is the question. With Agile and scrum being the new norm. I hope these training people are not churning out testers who will find it difficult to get jobs.
