What the fuck, does an EAT even do?!! Other than gaining a salary comparable to a Dev and just sitting in meeting day in day out.

How the fuck can someone work in tech without knowing even the basics of programming

Alright, I'll bite. What's an EAT?

@HitWRight some kind of tester job title😂😂

They test by hand and have no programming skills whatsoever

@Yggdrasil google can't even help me on this one without putting me on a diet. Wtf is this role?

Ah the tester without a purpose finding defects in things that haven't been touched in months and are not part of the current workload.

Who knew they had an official name.

@C0D4 the thing is that the name contains automated, however they don't automate shit

I am working on Java Stack they don't know Junit, Assertj, Cucumber or any kind of coding standard knowledge.

So what the fuck dare they here for

Automating their own brains to click another button?

This requires minimal planning. Testers continuously make a decision on her next step of action. It completely depends upon the tester’s thought process.

It sounds like brain dead manual testing to me.

@C0D4 pretty much

So I should be happy for them to receive a shit ton of money for that, I guess😂😂😂

@Yggdrasil it takes a special kind of person to be able to handle that level of insanity.

I couldn't imaging clicking a mouse for hours on end with no real outcome, ok I can game for hours but there's a sense of achievement to keep you going 😅 this is on a whole other level.

@C0D4 and now imagine they influence your BA's with writing your Features🙈🙈🙈

@HitWRight >Alright, I'll bite. What's an EAT?

>:c I see what you've done and I hate it. Take this ++

By the way EAT stands for Embedded Agile Tester

@Yggdrasil from everything i read in this thread it sounds like what i do after i've written code to make sure that it does what it's supposed to...?

like, you know, each time you add a thing you goof around with that thing to see if it does its thing correctly and doesn't break adjacent things doing their thing.

except when it's a position separate from programmer, plus with no programming knowledge, such a guy would have no context that's required to be able to goof around with the right thing in the right way...

once again, it is proven that if it contains "agile", it means it's mostly useless =D
