    Seconded. If i have to choose between having a manager and QA team.......i would not even try to think.

  4. It is not well defined. on What Does a Software Tester's Job Constitute? · · Score: 1

    The real tester should have some developers skills and:
    1.Run predefined scripts.
    2.Follow predefined scenarios (in case it is not possible to use scripts)
    3.Try to "crash" the program, and document it, i.e. prove it that it is repeatable.
    4.Being able to read the source code and even correct it, if the changes are insignificant.
    5.Actually, you could say that the tester is "juniour software developer" who for one or another reason cannot move to the next level.
    ...........
    The reality is that nowadays you have to do only "1" and "2" to be considered a tester. Good luck.

    They are taxed, but at very very low level, say 15% if he plays fair. Or, if he is very very nasty, he could do like Buffet and Gates. They have income of 100 billion dollars, and zero, ZERO taxes. Clever, veeery clever.

    Nope, it was the bioengineering going out of control. As we have now super-weed, so they managed to develop super plague, killing entire boo-engineered plants. So they were forced to implement pretty strict control, and to redevelop it every few years. And that's why they needed "clean" seeds, the ones that the nature created, without the human "involvement". Actually, just read the book.

    And if you compare the human's DNA and pig's DNA, they also have a lot of common.....actually, not only the DNA is the same....

    Actually, we can, but did you read the book actually??? It was written plainly: PLAGUE. The problem is not that we could play god, but that we do not understand the consequences playing god. If the nature decided that mixing fish DNA and spider DNA is not good idea, then accept it. IT IS NOT GOOD IDEA. Do you happen to know why the irish people immigrated to USA? Have you read the history? And all this happened only because of some little, tiny bug. Impressive.
