Testers?

Testing is the hardest thing to do. Although people regard computer programmers as techie geeks, in fact most programmers are very creative people. Just as writers and poets have to learn a language to communicate so do programmers and through this they can “create” very imaginative prgrams.

Testers, sadly, must suppress this creative urge. They must be disciplined, methodical and thorough. They must behave like robots in order to see things as the computer sees them. Their outlet for creativity has to come outside of work.
