THINK OUT OF BOX AND FIND MORE BUGS

Hi everyone,
For good software tester, out of box thinking is very essential. So that he can find some good bugs in the application. And make that application a fool proof one.

Let me give an example. If a programmer is coding for a Building Lift then he won't code for every floor. He may code for a single floor (like first floor) then slightly change the code and use that in other floors.
Here the out of box thinking works. If you test the application in every floor you may find some bugs, but a smart tester will specifically do testing for ground (lower) floor and the top (upper) floor.

The ground floor may not need the options for going down and the top floor don’t require going up.
This is how the out of box thinking works…


Regards,
-Jerry-
