Require explaination for Testing terminology

[tim123]

Can anyone tell me what:

Test experience with the debug/pause/feedback method

is?

I've never heard of it.

Not that I'm interested in the job, I'm stuck in a contract for at least 6 months and I tend not to be interested in jobs which get specific about 'testing'.

Dunno. I have done test jobs at times but never got interested enough to find out what I should have been doing.

I've no clue, but at a guess I'd say:
Break it, think about it then tell someone about it.

I could be wrong, but it sounds like the utterings of a clueless agent.

Well yes.

But does anyone really put that 'method' on their CV?

ISTM that the only reason a developer puts on their CV "tested using <tool name>" is because they want to highlight that they are conversant with that particular tool.

If there's no tool involved, then you don't just write "coded and tested software" because surely, for a software developer, that's a given.

It looks like the list of requirements is simply copied from the client.

So yes, the description of the agent is probably apt for not querying it.

But ISTM, if the client thinks that they want it, then the client will be looking for it, whether the agent copies it into his ad or not.
