Even in testing, you have to pay attention to software. It's part of the test development knowledge base. The old paradigm of "Software's free" needs to be left in the dust. If it's ignored or the attitude of you design the hardware and plan the test...oh yeah, just do the software needs to be left behind and you need to move forward into the 90's (yes, the 1990's). If you ignore the software, you'll pay in the long run.
I say this because this is the attitude from a test manager. He said there were no software problems with the test sets at his site. Everyone had a good laugh but I think he was serious.
Even in Test Engineering people need to continuously improve your software skills. If you're a hardware guy who had 1 software class you need to try to improve. If you're a degree in Software Engineering and have been developing software for 15 years there's still room to learn new software techniques.
If the software is poorly written the tests will be hard to maintain or possibly won't work properly. Without the proper software discipline the overall testing process won't go smoothly. As you move through the test development process, things will be rocky, problems will occur, and it will take to long to fix the problems. Software is one of the corner stones of testing.
So don't ignore it or it will come back to bite you.

Oi, achei seu blog pelo google está bem interessante gostei desse post. Gostaria de falar sobre o CresceNet. O CresceNet é um provedor de internet discada que remunera seus usuários pelo tempo conectado. Exatamente isso que você leu, estão pagando para você conectar. O provedor paga 20 centavos por hora de conexão discada com ligação local para mais de 2100 cidades do Brasil. O CresceNet tem um acelerador de conexão, que deixa sua conexão até 10 vezes mais rápida. Quem utiliza banda larga pode lucrar também, basta se cadastrar no CresceNet e quando for dormir conectar por discada, é possível pagar a ADSL só com o dinheiro da discada. Nos horários de minuto único o gasto com telefone é mínimo e a remuneração do CresceNet generosa. Se você quiser linkar o Cresce.Net(www.provedorcrescenet.com) no seu blog eu ficaria agradecido, até mais e sucesso. (If he will be possible add the CresceNet(www.provedorcrescenet.com) in your blogroll I thankful, bye friend).
