Hi guys
So, as for me, I think that a good tester should at least (!) have “good attention to details” skill.
Honestly.
I remember me, starting carreer of QC – I had no idea about OOP or any other programmin language, but I was able to find defect in software because of being presice. Only then I learnt basics of C# and JavaScript.
I don’t know, why there’s in so many resources that answer B, but it’s just incorrect, imho.
Don’t believe any asnwers to ISTQB from the internet, ‘cuz they might be error-prone. If you hesitate, go and google yourself.
Good Luck with ISTQB to every one!
Hi Lucky (from Lemberg),
If you see the question again is says ‘THE LEAST required skill of good tester’ not ‘AT LEAST’, so the answer of the question 9 is ‘Able to write Software’ NOT ‘good attention to detail’.
‘Good attention to detail’ is a must required skill.
Hope I am able to clarify why everyone is answering B.
Hi ,
