Yo Testing!

People keep asking me why I am still in testing and not planning to move to development. I keep telling them "I don't want to take the burden of someone telling me you created a crappy code or be in the jam trying to fix a bug at the last hour". I am not able to convince them that testing is a great job and is very much respected in the industry today. Its because these people are NOT from the IT industry and hence its difficult to convince them that the industry is fast waking up to the need of expert testing. Microsoft has more testers than developers (their software is still crappy, but its the most user-friendly, in each category they have a product).

Maybe this article would help explain it to them
