I absolutely love my job!
I am one of those rare individuals that gets to do what I absolutely LOVE: Test software and work with amazingly creative professionals every day! I go to work excited and pumped about changing, evolving, and designing ideas that impact countless numbers of people every day all day. My very nature loves to overcome (perceived) challenges and make a way where other's see no way or just give up. Those challenges become my springboard and fuel my creativity and thinking!
I get to create and collaborate, suggest and negotiate, learn and teach, lead and listen. It doesn't get any better than that!
My personal goal on stackexchange is simply to try to help others achieve their BEST solution. I am the one who gains from this! Plus I learn from others and apply solutions anywhere I can to further the business solutions I am responsible for, so it's a win-win for all.

What are the main role and responsibilities of a tester? Welcome to SQA Stack Exchange. Please see the FAQ sqa.stackexchange.com/faq. There are entire books devoted to this subject. If you can narrow the scope of your question, we can help you better. |

In what phase or stage of the project should QA testing start? No, Phil, it's all over the phone between managers and devs (or meetings I am not invited to). I am given a high-level idea of what the expectations are. With about 10% of new features, my Manager types up a 1-3 page document that will be given to customers for me to use as a very loose requirement; I end up QA'ing that too & returning it to him with corrections. |

Dedicated or cross projects test team? A + because I totally agree, esp. point 1. Each person having different strengths brings a different critical eye to the same code and thereby the potential for finding different bugs. While it is helpful to assign a 'lead' for each module or feature, it is infinitely more helpful for all testers to know at least a little about every feature. |

Is there a guide or systematic way of writing test scenarios? Great list! I would like to add review customer bug reports for coming up with effective test scenarios. |

Good resources for building a QA team Ethel it sounds like you have great answers already. I just want to say how pleased I am that your new CIO is pro-SQA to the point of actually investing in the testing team (time, resources, etc). I would say upper management buy-in is over half the battle to quality improvement, and you guys have it. I hope his enthusiasm for SQA and testing is contagious. |

Is there some software to document the results of functional software testing? We also use Excel. We also upload to Sharepoint. |

Testing an application under continuous development Out of the 5 devs I mentioned in my post, 1 does unit testing. The rest are HDD - Hope Driven Development (stolen from Phil). But we are not a pure agile environment by any stretch. |
