RE: Advice on software testing?

There are software testers who wince when they break something, and
there are those who laugh (or crow!). Don't know if this is a gender
thing or just random.

I love software testing.

About 10 years ago, I was the only techwriter for a small software
developer. When my favorite project manager was asked for the status of
his project, the conversation went like this:

VP: Is ProductX ready to ship?
PM: Not quite.
VP: But Tester#1 said he finished the test plan at noon with no bugs.
PM: Yes, but I need at least one more day.
VP: Why?
PM: Gonna give it to Kat for a day. If she can't break it, we ship.

I'm VERY good at breaking software.
<grin>
