Here's how you can find where the bugs in your products are occurring, and then adjust your strategy to pinpoint them.

But misconceptions often lead to testers getting the bad rap of "breaking" the software. It's a tester's job to think like a user. Developers and stakeholders might call that negative testing, but the result is a better product, and that’s all positive. Let's change the way we talk about testing.
