Twitter Poll Results – How Testers Define Their Jobs

It’s a bit late, but I’m finally posting the results of my recent Twitter poll.  This was definitely an experiment.  I only received 4 responses for this poll, but it’s a start.  For future polls, I’ll allow blog comments as well.

The 4 responses I received were:

  • “I'm the person who investigates and reports on the state of our applications compared to software developed by other companies”
  • “At the moment work consists mainly of trying to find business!”
  • “Develop Software for Testing Software. Nurse Out-Source staff. Design Low Maintenance Test Automation Solutions.”
  • “System questioner and information provider”

If I missed any replies, I apologize.  Please feel free to leave comments to this post with your job description if you’d like.  In particular, I’m interested to know if you think your job stops at reporting defects or if you think your role includes actually driving changes you feel are important in the product.  When I ask this question in crowds of testers, I tend to get strong responses on both sides of the fence.  Which side are you on?

Thanks to PhilK for pointing me to a similar question posted at the Software Testing Club.
