    It looks like the list of requirements is simply copied from the client.

    So yes, the description of the agent is probably apt for not querying it.

    But ISTM, if the client thinks that they want it, then the client will be looking for it, whether the agent copies it into his ad or not.

    Well yes.

    But does anyone really put that 'method' on their CV?

    ISTM that the only reason a developer puts on their CV "tested using <tool name>" is because they want to highlight that they are conversant with that particular tool.

    If there's no tool involved, then you don't just write "coded and tested software" because surely, for a software developer, that's a given.

    Dunno. I have done test jobs at times but never got interested enough to find out what I should have been doing.

    started a topic Require explaination for Testing terminology

    Require explaination for Testing terminology

    Can anyone tell me what:

    Test experience with the debug/pause/feedback method

    is?

    I've never heard of it.

    Not that I'm interested in the job, I'm stuck in a contract for at least 6 months and I tend not to be interested in jobs which get specific about 'testing'.
