Are you a naturally curious and inquisitive person? Do you get skeptical when people tell you that things are the way they should be? Maybe you pride yourself as being someone who thinks outside of the box, and isn't afraid to go against the status quo? Do you find yourself being the one who wants to take a step back to analyze the big picture? Or perhaps you were a victim of Murphy's Law and pledged to never allow that to happen again. If you've answered "Yes!" to any of these questions, then you'll love Software Testing here at Ultimate!
