How to Think Like a Pro Software Tester (Real Example)

You just dropped your phone. Do you just turn it on to see if it’s broken? Most people do—and that’s the exact thinking that keeps software testers stuck in low-paying roles.

It’s about the strategic thinking, the smart questions, and the context that separates a $40,000 tester from an $80,000+ tester.
