What’s common to Bill Gates, Bjarne Stroustrup, Linus Torvalds, and James Gosling? You know who they are; they are all famous software engineers known for writing code. But how many famous software test engineers do you know? Probably none. A comparison of the results of a Google search for famous software developers vs. famous software testers will show that most people don’t know either. Why is this? Because testers don’t create anything, right? Wrong. Testing is as much a part of the creative process as is development. It’s even becoming a “hot” topic, even a strategy.
