How Do You Help Motivate Testers?

Anyone can do testing, but only good and motivated testers can do great testing. The mindset of a tester is different from that of anyone else in a software development team, and so are their motivating factors. There are special difficulties to confront in our undervalued field that we must be aware of if we want to keep the motivation of our testers high. In order to help testers grow, we must take proper care. I started out as a tester, led a team of testers, and now, I am leading test leaders. I want to share my experiences and the lessons my fellow team leaders and I have learned during these years. You will get some food for thought and ideas about how you lead and take care of your testers. This knowledge enhances your goal of helping your testers grow and be happy, motivated, realized, and do better testing.
