comment What's the difference between “testing” and “quality assurance”?
The title a company uses for a particular role can be a good indicator of how the company views that role. For example if you feel there are major differences between a Tester and QA and a company is hiring for a QA person they may not be a good fit. Of course the only way to know that is to talk with them. You might be able to change that view.

You don't need to know what it's supposed to do, just what the person filing the bug report thinks the result should be?

So you are saying testing is only checking (or simply testing = checking)? I thought testing and checking were different?

I'm not as familiar with using Linux or Python which is why I slyly mention Windows Server. I suppose if I installed Cygwin or something it might work?

I thought about running the installers from the command line, and then add it to a batch file or something. I'll have to play around with that. Joe do you have any experience with other tools besides WinTask?

It's the installer built into Visual Studio 2010. (Not sure what the name is.)

Looks like there is a program called WinTask that might work. Would PowerShell work?
