earlier developers only used to develope and test , because of this time consuming for the application was more, also developers usually think from the program point of view like, whether the program is giving the o/p required, testers will have customer point of view , they will test the application from the customer point of view by using the application as a real time user, this helps in implementing the customer requirements to the max extent, and helps for improving customer satisfaction,

Do u know the mentality behind  developer should be creative and with Testing it should be pinpicker mentality.Yaa dear Developer can test the software but he can't perform well as tester can .

sorry........ tester is not a pinpicker, he should be equivalently creative as a developer does, without creative knowledge a tester cant find out which part of the application may have bug, just by looking at the application u can find cosmetic bugs or very minor bugs, without any creative knowledge u cant find out major or critical bugs,

As u have said, developer also can do the tetst. While developing programs they do test, but they test only the functionality. A tester while checking acts with the clients requirements in mind. They go through every aspect of testing from each minute thing to the biggest. Testers approach the project in such a way that the client gets the most quality product.

Hi everyone

Yes it is true that developer can also do the testing, and he will do testing such as integration,unit and Relese acceptance testing(RAT).But they can only do the positive testing such as addition of 2+3=5, but they not think that what happen if input is 2+h=?.That type of testing is called negative testing and unfortunetly they droped such type of testing.One more thing is that some time their ego's creating problem they think that if i develope the software then obivioulsly it is Bug free and they take likely and not tested properly.But when tester start testing they don't have any emotional attachment with that project they only try to built up Quality software and they also taken care that client should be happly with that.And also time is also save when we there is two indivisual team.

Yeah developer can perform testing but that testing lacks the objectivity.That is the reason why testers are required?

Yes, developer can also test the project. For example you can take a teacher & a student. The student is the developer while the tester is the teacher. The developer has written the code and on his point of view the coding will work exactly similar to a student who writes all the answer for the questions given thinking that all the answeres are correct. The testers are like teachers who will have the SRS and correspondingly the testing is done and the bug is identified, as the teachers will have a set of answers and correct the students answers. So the testers will find the bug more appropriately than the developer.

Dear friends,Ya a developer is a very good tester but they have some constrain as by developing if he will do the testing the project will definitely be a complex on .Also according to the standard you can never give a good quality product to the customer . By work together only it will give a good product.Mrunalini jena

Good question surendar.
Developers responsibility is to develop the application and to ensure it is working properly or not.
But in case of tester, he has to ensure that the application is not working properly. In that way tester has to think to test the application.
