And so are lots of manual testers who use automation as a helper.<br /><br />Still, if we differentiate between those who write product code and those who write code to check the product (and I think we should), you my friend, are still a "tester".<br /><br />Fortunately, for you, testers are way cooler than Progs.Eric Jacobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08216361684596485033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8951904624959546499.post-30051745971165199702011-07-06T20:14:11.764-04:002011-07-06T20:14:11.764-04:00Hi Shawn.

I understand that developer now encompasses so much more than writing code, but a developer also does more than just write code these days.
