Happy Tester’s Day! Be proud of being Tester!…and don’t forget
to celebrate!

What importance does September 9 have to people in IT? Well, we
just wouldn’’t be using “a “bug”” or ““debugging”” terms without
this date.

If you haven’t heard about Tester’s day then read this! It is 70
years since the first bug was found.

According to the Computer History Museum, on September 9, 1945
when the scientists were testing the computer Mark II Aiken Relay
Calculator, they found a real small moth between the contacts of
the electromechanical relay and one of them pronounced the word
‘bug’. The scientists had to make a report on the work done where
the term ‘debugging^[1]’ appeared for the first
time.

Software testing is not an easy job. The tester should be able
to think as a user, analyze the system’ behavior, input
parameters and obtained results as an engineer who takes part in
software development.

Sure, every day is Tester’s Day, but it would be good to have a
special day that can make testers around the world share and
collaborate and feel proud to be one.

We’’d like to congratulate all people who test, who fights with
various bugs and errors, knows where
are the bugs from^[2]
and wish them all the best!

So here you have it, folks. It deserves celebration,
commemoration and recognition just like other professions have. How
will you celebrate Tester’s Day? With a cake? By finding a bug in
Grace Hopper’s honor? Do not hesitate to share it in the comments
below. In the meantime, let’s give your colleague a high-five and
wish them a Happy Tester’s Day.
