Good Tester and Bad Tester – Difference with Example

So many times we are heard about Good tester’s means what are the qualities of a good tester but we never know about bad testers. That is why I am writing this article so that people who are comes under the category of bad testers can know what they are and if they want to become good tester than how they convert himself in to the category of good tester to make the application reliable and bug free and how they increase the product and project quality.

Difference between Bad Tester and Good Tester

	Bad Tester	Good Tester
1	Bad Testers are working in a company not to learn new things but just for time pass and whatever money they are getting from companies they are satisfied from it.	Good testers are working in a company to learn new things and by learning they improve his and her growth and as well as companies growth also.
2	A bad tester does not notice little things mean they ignore little things.	Good testers even notice little or small things that others miss or ignore.
3	Bad testers do not find the root cause of the bug.	Apart from the bug good testers also find out the root cause of the bug too.
4	Bad testers always test the application with given requirements mean whatever written in requirements these testers only tests that part of application.	Good testers also test the application with given requirements but apart from requirements they also tests that part of application which is not mentioned in requirements so that they increase the product or you can say project quality.
5	Example of bad testers: Suppose they test the application and they saw that user is able to login from signup functionality in reality they knew that it is wrong means it is a bug but they never report it to the development team because it is not mentioned in the requirements that they have to check that parts also so they ignore this bug.	Example of Good testers: Suppose they test the application and they saw that apart from sign in functionality user is also able to login from signup functionality they knew it is bug and they also know that it is not mentioned in requirements that we have to check this functionality also but still they report that bugs to the development team because they feel that it is our duty to make the application bug free and user friendly.
6	Bad testers always test the application by keeping his and her point in mind not the end users point.	Good testers always test the application by keeping end user in mind.
