1. Things I have learned - Take a class in the programming language that you are testing. This will improve not only your skills, but your ability to communicate with the developers.
我学到的东西-----学习你测试的系统里面使用到的编程语言。这不但可以提高你的技术，也可以提高你和开发人员交流的能力。
2. Always keep in mind that some of your best teachers are also your co-workers.
时刻紧记，最好的老师也许就是你的同事。
3. Keep your ears open about projects both new and in progress. Get to know the requirements of the project and what the expectations of the users are.
要一直关注新项目或者是正在开发的项目。去知道项目需求与用户的期望是什么。
4. Establish a partnership relationship with your developers. Sit down and discuss mutual expectations.
和你的开发同事建立起好的伙伴关系，坐下来交流一下对双方彼此的想法。
5. Ask questions.
问！
6. Be persistent.
持之以恒！
7. Be precise. Whether you are reporting a defect or reporting a process improvement need, if you cannot precisely describe the problem and the impact, you won't get far.
一定要精确！不管你是报告一个缺陷还是一个过程改进的要求，如果你不能够精确描述出问题和产生的影响，你不能够深入完成测试过程.
8. Pick your battles. You cannot change everything at once. If you are trying to establish or improve your testing process or development process, do a thorough assessment of where you are and how you need to improve, and prioritize this list.
别着急,分清自己的不足,事情有个先后顺序,提高测试和提高开发注意区分.
9. Pick some "low hanging fruit", document, implement, assess --- and hopefully as people begin to SEE the benefits, you'll win more converts. So your next process improvement attempt will go more smoothly.
先作简单的事情，比如看文件，使用工具，软件评估等等，这些熟练后就可以平稳的向高级的过渡.一步一步来..
10. Read recommended literature
读一些大家推荐的书。
11. Make sure everything you do gets reviewed by at least one experienced person (No matter how long I have been in this industry, I still follow this principle)
保证你做的每一件事情都被至少一位有经验的人检查过（无论我在这一行多久，我都坚持这个原则）
12. Don't be afraid to ask questions!!! I learned so much from the developers at my first company, it was unbelievable! And at a subsequent company, I got a developer to give QA a bit of a session on EJBs when they were still bleeding edge technology we were working with. If you ask, they will generally help - because it shows that you don't profess to know everything better than they do, which can be a misconception!
不要害怕提出问题！！！当在做项目的时候，假如有不懂的地方就一定要提出来，一般情况下开发人员都会帮忙的。没有人会知道所有知识，这谁都理解，但假若不懂装懂，只会导至对事情的误解与耽误！
13. Keep up on new technology. Even if you're not using it now, you might be someday, so take the time to at least read up on the basics!
保证关注新技术，即使你目前没有在使用，但你可能某一天会用上，所以抽出时间来至少读上些基本的内容！
14. Look at joining a User's Group or QA group in your area, if one exists. The networking, venting, and communication are priceless!
加入一个你所在领域方面的用户群或者
QA
群，如果有这样的群的话。网络，通风和沟通是无价的,这个很必要..
15. Think about what you think might need to be checked.
好好想想你是不是有些什么事情还需要检查的。
16. Ask questions and be curious.
多提问题，并且要充满好奇心
17. NEVER criticize the developers for defects.
永远不要因为找出缺陷而批评开发人员。
18. Get a mentor. We all know how demanding QA and Test can be and having someone to bounce ideas and thoughts off is extremely useful. My own mentor was a very experienced QA/Test Manager who was extremely good and helped me enormously
找一个指导你的人。我们全都知道
QA
和测试的工作是非常费神的，假如有有一个人可以适当的发表，指点一下观念，想法的话，那是将会有很大帮助的。
19. Don't be afraid to ask for help and questions, find a mentor. We like to share our thoughts and knowledge. I worked for a larger company that had many different testing departments. One of the things we did was form a 'corporate' qa steering committee. This was a way to share ideas, network with others, and do some streamlining.......
不要害怕去寻求指导人的帮助和提问题。我们乐于去分享我们的想法与知识。我工作的公司里有不同的测试部门。所有的测试部门又建立了一个联合的
QA
指导委员会来分享主意，联合其它人，还有
Streamling........
