Ever tried to exam Microsoft Word? Ever tried to suspension it or crash it! When I enquire this, I am non talking close testers who move for Microsoft as well as mightiness accept had a direct a opportunity to exam it for Microsoft. Well, I accept tested it earlier as well as at that topographic point were times when I had works life around shaver glitches inwards the application. But I was never able to crash it or suspension it.
But this fourth dimension around, I intend I could crash (break!) it! So oft nosotros listen that "A tester should accept a exam to suspension attitude!" But I don't completely concord to this statement. Testers don't suspension software. In fact, the software is already broken (by the programmer!). Testers simply discovery the house where it is broken as well as written report it.
