A good tester’s skill isn’t in finding a bug, but in reproducing it
My natural tendency to think things through and get to the bottom of things led me to testing. My testing mission began in TESCAN GROUP a.s. (previously TESCAN 3DIM) during the covid era (2021). I left my previous work in the banking sector, because I was always interested in the software industry. I joined a project focused on developing a complex 3D medical application, with no previous skill or experiences in testing field, only with enthusiasm. And that’s where it all started…
Five years have passed, and I’ve become a Senior QA Tester and one of the core members of the team. Over the years, I have mastered (and, of course, continue to master) the craft of testing to the point where I can conscientiously and responsibly identify, reproduce, analyze, and report bugs, and not only that. I actively strive to collaborate with my colleagues to prevent new bugs from arising as much as possible. I approach these issues not only from a tester’s perspective but also from the perspective of the users who use the application every day. That’s why I’m also actively involved in UI/UX related-processes.
To improve the efficiency of testing and testing processes, I have started experimenting more extensively with AI. As part of my work, I am developing an AI model that helps manual testers create high-quality test scenarios, interpret results, and generate detailed reports. However, I view AI as a tool designed to support the tester. The responsibility and decision-making do not rest with the AI, but with the tester.
