Nor is there a guarantee that the artistic tester is the best end user. And artists are often bothered about what something is, and sometimes don't worry about what it needs to be.<br/><br/>But hey, thanks for the comment. :)<br/><br/>---Michael B. Hi, Kumar…

I think that being innovative and being able to see the unseen are great qualities for testers, but I don’t think they’re the only two by any means. Nor is there a guarantee that the artistic tester is the best end user. And artists are often bothered about what something is, and sometimes don’t worry about what it needs to be.

But hey, thanks for the comment. :)

From process perspective artistic test engineer brings in new innovations and overcomes the limitations of Agile model (Esp on offshore model) and from a product quality perspective, he makes the best end user to test the product as he's always targets what systems "need" to be.
