It is widely accepted that anyone can become a tester. Successful and efficient testing, on the other hand, is much more difficult than finding a job as a tester. 

Some of the major reasons for this are as follows:

1. Difficult and Unreliable Code

Because a single line of code affects many potential inputs, outputs, and constraints, each line of code effectively covers many possibilities for failures. The problem is that testers must test the entire product generated by this code, which ensures there may be plenty of external factors affecting bugs that testers are unaware of or incapable of dealing with. Regardless of how much time, money, and resources the testing team had, it was unable to thoroughly test the product. The reality that testers and developers don’t usually collaborate just adds to the current situation.

2. The Problem of Usability and Functionality

The entire development group is lacking a customer representative who can ensure that the product is user-friendly. This individual should preferably be a domain expert who is responsive to the project’s timeline and has the authority to make decisions. Usability testers are often confronted with the issue of a product that is not functional enough for end-users, while developers appear to be too preoccupied with code and unconcerned with usability and functionality.

3. Unlimited and Undefined Customer Requirements

Another issue that sometimes arises is that client, owing to their software incompetence, do not understand precisely what they want until they see and check out the final product. This is concerning for both testers and developers; however, testers carry a greater share of the blame for poor performance.

4. Adolescence of Software

Since the software industry is just about 50 years old, there isn’t a lot of knowledge to draw on when it comes to dealing with all aspects of software development. It’s made more difficult by the fact that software is constantly evolving, giving testers more challenges long until they acquire all methods for identifying at least existing common defects. The problem is made worse by the continuous evolution of IT, such as operating systems, hardware, and add-ons, which introduce new computing problems while testers cope with old ones.

5. Shortage of Experts and Professionals 

IT specialists exist worldwide because anybody can easily join the IT industry and they are not required to apply a credential when hired as a tester. However, as a result of this situation, the testing industry has a significant quality deficit. There are also far too many amateurs and far too few experts. 

Conclusion 

Software is a massive and complex creation made primarily for humans. As a result, human action, judgement, and decision-making, as well as human mistake, dominate software development and operational use. As a result, the outcome is frequently unclear and unpredictable, which, like natural occurrences, leads to inescapable software uncertainties. Human users are affected by the majority of software failures, if not all. Similarly, most software flaws can be traced back to human origins, whether it’s a developer-initiated blunder or a problem that’s just tangentially tied to humans.
