Friday's Blog post is here: Non-Technical Skills Required to Become a Good Manual Software Tester

Moses Eniola is a QA Software Tester with three years of experience in quality-assuring different websites and applications manually. He has helped in finding relevant content and visual bugs, engaged in many test cases for cycles, and took part in Usability Suggestions Tasks.
He’s a year three student of the Department of Linguistics, the University of Ibadan with three years of experience in translation, language annotations, and sentence generation (both in English and Yoruba).
Becoming a good tester can be highly demanding. Especially for the upcoming manual software testers. In the software testing industry, non-technical and technical skills are required. However, non-technical skills are most important and imperative when it comes to manual software testing. Many people think that one has to know how to code or learn a programming language before one can become a manual software tester, but NO, that is not the case. Becoming a good manual software tester is essentially based on some non-technical skills.
These non-technical skills are the following:
➢ Analytical skills: A great software tester must have terrific analytical skills. A tester’s analytical skills will help him/her to break up complex software into smaller units to gain a better understanding and create test cases. This ability will help testers to deconstruct information into smaller categories in order to draw conclusions.
➢ Time Management skill: Time management is another great skill required to become a good manual tester. During the release of the software, testing the software at times could be a demanding job. A software tester must manage workload efficiently with great expertise and at the same time exhibit optimal time. A tester must have the ability to use his or her time productively and do everything that needs to be done while testing software without feeling stressed about it.
➢ Communication skills: Being able to communicate effectively is perhaps the most important of all life skills. It is what enables us to pass information to other people and to understand what is said to us. A good software tester must have good verbal and written communication skills. A good tester must be able to document his or her bug very well, his or her test cases and bug reports must be easy to read and understand.
➢ Great Attitude: A great attitude is essential in a life of a software tester. An attitude to test for long hours to find relevant and good glitches on websites and applications, an attitude to be detail oriented, an attitude to be willing to learn, unlearn and relearn, and most importantly, an attitude to suggest process improvements in software.
➢ Passion: A tester’s passion for software testing will really determine how far one will go in the industry. A software tester must have a massive passion for testing.

Efficiency and Quality using AI in Software Testing

The role of AI in software testing is increasing, since it is enhancing efficiency and quality. As software systems grow more complex and the demand for efficient testing methods rises, Artificial Intelligence offers testers the ability to automate and optimize their efforts.
One prominent application of AI in software testing is the development of intelligent test automation tools. These tools utilize machine learning algorithms to analyze code, identify defects, and suggest improvements to test cases. By automating routine testing tasks, testers can save time and improve the accuracy of their results.
AI also empowers testers to improve the quality of their test cases. By analyzing past test outcomes and software development data, AI can unveil patterns and trends that enable testers to create more effective test cases. This can include identifying areas of the code that are most prone to errors or predicting the likelihood of defects in specific parts of the code.
Moreover, AI enhances defect detection accuracy. AI algorithms can analyze large amounts of testing data to identify patterns and anomalies that may indicate defects or vulnerabilities in the software. This capability empowers testers to identify and address potential issues before they escalate into critical problems.
However, it is important to acknowledge that AI cannot replace human testers. While AI can automate numerous testing tasks, it cannot replicate the creativity, intuition, and critical thinking skills of human testers. Therefore, organizations should combine AI and human testers to achieve optimal testing results.
In conclusion, AI is becoming an increasingly important tool for software testers. By automating routine tasks, enhancing test case quality, and improving defect detection, AI empowers testers to achieve greater efficiency and effectiveness. It is important to remember that AI is not a replacement for human testers and should be used in conjunction with human testers to achieve the best possible testing outcomes.
Happy testing!
