What Are the Key Peculiarities of the Test Team?

• The originality of thinking. The testers perceive software and its qualities in their own way. The specialists are sure that any product contains bugs. The process of bugs searching and detection brings joy to the testers. Their purpose – to discover as more errors as possible before release.
• The purpose of the work. Each employee, involved in the software development process, follows his own goal. The developers, testers, administrators, and so on – all of them have their own tasks and aims. If every stage of software development is executed in accordance with all specifications and standards and the work of the whole team is effective, then the product itself will be successful. Everything is interrelated and impacts the whole process.
