Epitome of Testing

For those who are not familiar with the word ‘Epitome’, it’s nothing but “Essence”.

As a person in a QA/Tester role there are a number of typical roles that can be approved.

Sheriff – Bringing order to the Wild West. Chaotic development processes are roped in and consistency and discipline instilled in the vacuum.

Cheerleader – Pumping the team up to be more than they are. ‘Better unit tests? Way to go’

Cop – More or less the opposite of the Cheerleader. While typically you get more flies with honey, sometimes you do have to bring out the vinegar.

Negotiator – An active role in figuring out the trade-offs between development and test.

Marketer – A longer-term variation of the Negotiator which uses more subtle techniques for furthering agenda.

Coach – Strategist and morale support.
