I was thinking about Fake Testing Industry and could see a pattern in fake testing world.

Here are some things that I have found handy to identify fake testing industry:

1. They will talk about all the buzzwords and tech hype but not about #testing.

🧵🧵👇

2. They will hesitate to call themselves testers.

I have seen "experiential" testers calling themselves SDET or Automation Engineer after learning 2 months of Selenium Java.

Maybe the word "tester" sounds bad to them.

3. Even if they call themselves testers, they will rarely talk or think about testing in their day-to-day work/talk.

They will mostly talk and spend most of their time in solving non-testing problems like handling a file popup via selenium or automating a captcha.

4. They will only talk about their testing in the terms of surrogate or proxy measures.

Ex:
- Test Cases Created
- Pass Fail %
- No of Bugs Reported
- No of Tests

5. They will talk about testing in terms of test cases.

For every testing problem, their golden sword solution would be test cases and their creation, updation, linking, execution, etc.
