Test management - Role
Tester
A person who checks whether software behaves correctly and meets what is expected of it
What's it for?
Checks software from a user's point of view and records problems so they can be fixed.
For example…
Before go-live, the tester runs the UAT scenarios, logs failures with steps to reproduce, and confirms fixes in the test environment
A tester tries valid, invalid and unusual checkout scenarios, records defects with evidence and retests them after developers make fixes
Think of it like…
Proofreader before a book ships: not the author, but the one who catches what would embarrass you in print
