I'd start by getting real specifics about the responsibilities you would have and the tools you would be required to use. That's really the showstopper, if one exists. If they really are trying to land you, figure out what they want you to be accountable for, and then perhaps we can suggest accessible mediums through which it can be accomplished. But quality assurance testing is really, at the end of the day, pretty vague all by itself.

Chris, I have no idea how they intend to have me do the QA testing.

What testing tools do they use? Will you be doing invasive tests that insert test code into the program itself or will you be doing user side testing where you run the program through a formal set of tests that hope to find every code path? Lastly, will you be using automated testing tools and working to analyze the results? cdh On Apr 6, 2009, at 3:57 PM, Robbie Miller wrote:Listers, I'm being offered theopportunity to do Quality Assurance testing (QA testing). Has anyone on this list done this kind of work before? Are the testing tools accessible? Any advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
