re: #371 thedopefishlives

Honestly, it’s not exactly the line of work I want, but in the situation I’m in, it’s a good fit. It gives a different view of the software development cycle and an appreciation for properly testing one’s code. Also, since the position is for automated test development, I get to play with code, which keeps my programmer resume current for the possibility of finagling my way into a real programming position.

So do you “poke” test code into the application that does the automatic QA or do you use some add in product that does that for you?

A few of my small business jobs in the past were for companies that sell speciality applications. I use to build demos of the actual product that would “self run” with little text boxes popping up to explain functionality, forms filling themselves out, all that stuff.

I’ve also seen some third party products that “plug in” to applications that do that too. I used a product for Oracle forms that could do that.
