How do you know that you are right, I have asked once teacher at elementary school.

I never get answered, but I guess this may be called as one of my firs pre testing moments.

Many years later I am still asking this question on daily basis in different variations. Even though I am asking different questions the reason why I am asking is the same. It is the same passion and curiosity to understand how the software works. By analyzing it and figuring out the way how it is performing as expected or often not expected.

Pointing out on unexpected behavior or defects (or anyhow else you may call it) and being able to talk openly and even being rewarded for this I treasure most about testing. This kind of openness is something very rare to find. I feel like we are honored to have opportunity to work and talk about how to do things better openly and without any hard feelings.

Somebody may think that we as testers creating quality. In my opinion testers are more like guardians, passionate questioners, river of questions that never stop flow. We are partners to discussion about what does it means to be done as expected.

As one may never be able to say it is completely tested, there are no more bugs. By other words one may never be done with learning and achieving state of perfection in testing. Testing to me is continues process that improves tested object and also tester throughout the execution. This is what I value about testing and the reason why I am a tester.
