Testing has finally been recognized over the years as a professional discipline (see history of testing). To have success organizations need competent, qualified, trained, skilled people.
People have more competences/expertise than qualifications 1-
and only when the competences are developed and utilized, they are transformed into qualification.
Competence is here understood as an important attribute of the personality which are all skills, know-how and line of reasoning, which someone acquires and activates in her/his life. 1 2
Qualification builds the connection between 2: the individual (and her/his competences) + job (tools and supplies for work and tasks to be done).
The next page lists skills which are discussed and valued by some authors.
I would be happy, if you also take part in this - see in the forum on this matter.
You can tell me your subjective (actually is there objective possible?) assessment on the different skills,
e.g.
- how is the relationship between skills in software testing in comparison to other areas or skills?
- what skills are needed for certain testing methods and how can a tester gain these skills?
- what skill is necessary for a tester to detect anomalies, which happen occasionally and how can (s)he obtain this skill?
