Ask for the brinjals in the bars.........(How important is the domain knowledge and technical knowledge)

Hi Guys,
Hope you are doing great and wonderful testing these days.

Ask for the brinjals in the bars......

Will you ask for the stationary in the banks?
- Or-
Will you ask for a America ticket in the city bus?

If you so, then don't scroll down.

Leave it frndz. We are genius by birth :-)
So we don't ask like that. We know that, we get stationary in super market and we should stair a plane to land into America.

Why am mentioning all this futile stuff in this post? Why am wasting your precious time?

Because, I just need to declare that how important is the knowledge we have of about a software/produce, which we are going to test.

Lemme share my familiarity here:
After carrying out my PG, I joined a testing institute. After finishing classes there, I attend the interviews and joined a company.

When I was asked to write the test cases for the CRS, I wrote them.
Sorry, I forgot to say of what the domain I was working on. It is an ERP product which was developed for Staffing and Recruiting. When I was theoretical to write the TCs, I even don't know of about the words "Staffing" and "Recruiting". But I wrote and not bad, I got some major bugs too.

When I left that company, when the product is went out for the first release, I was master in the terms of Sales & Recruiting.

My intention is not to articulate that we should be the masters in all the domains and all the technologies. But shouldn't we have a basic knowledge?

If we don't know what we are doing then how we can say that we have done?
To do the best, we should be good @ what we are doing.

Please frndz let us have the basic knowledge of what the domain and what the environment we are working on. When you attend an interview or when you apply for a job, collect the information and prepare accordingly.

I will furnish the info of about how to get the basic knowledge before testing sumtng in my further posts.


Happy Testing
