15+ years of coding experience, two dozen testing tools?<\/p>\n

While there are a lot of opinions on the subject, I try to go for the essentials<\/p>\n

1. Algorithm design aptitude. If our framework is in Java, I’m not focusing on Java developers only. If the candidate can demonstrate reasonable algorithm designing skills, that’s enough for me.<\/p>\n

2. Testing Acumen. Not just fundamentals of software testing memorized word for word, rather have the technical depth on various topics around software testing and depth on the topic.<\/p>\n

3. And the most important piece, the right attitude. The skills mentioned above can be acquired, but without the right attitude, it’s just impossible. Down the road you’ll have to let go of that person, period.<\/p>\n
