Testers Crush.

Testers do many mistakes during his interaction with the product, oracles, heuristics, and interaction with developers or management by developing certain stereotypical ideas (crushes). This all account for hidden time bombs that will explode in future. It has happened time and again. Lets us consider for example the Y2K syndrome or the present generation privacy syndrome or domain server war syndrome or ip address shortage syndrome.

The following article lets us know about typical stereotypical attitudes (crushes) among present generation testers and past testers .The enlisted stereotypes ideas could be textual or video or audio that we experience during our testing activity. The challenge lies ahead in using this stereotyped ideas individually or in combination in the right context rather than using it from  a narrow point of view.Thus, we can make the IT services or products  better.

Testers usually form continuous patterns, forms, figures, groups that are very limited in nature and leaves behind discontinuous ones behind. These places can be the reserves for failures. Testers have a tendency to leave behind discontinuous forms and irregular forms under the hood. His interpretations are closed and limit himself to stereotypical figures and their backgrounds. He limits himself from going to that  extra mile and find out alternative viewpoints. Time pressure, metric calculation pressure contributes a bit for this type of behavior.He always look forward to form proximity and group similar chunk s together. His short sight makes him blindfolded for that extra mile or view point to tap the hidden bugs.

I conclude this post by urging the testers to use these stereotypical ideas (crushes) in right dosages, intervals , combination in the right context. I don’t prescribe testers to weed out this but make use of it for tapping the hidden bugs.
