(and underrated) Testing skill, in my humble opinion. - Marcelo Cordeiro Leite
34. +1 for listening. Being really, really good at listening helps you not only
to understand your client, but to pick up on areas where the team is
confused or unsure about what we're building - a slight hesitation in
speech because the dev keeps getting two different entities muddled up,
perhaps.

choose your testing methodology... - Gil Bloom

about things outside of testing; product design, software development,
psychology, anthropology etc - Amy Phillips

made of code, but living, breathing, fickle, forgetful, quarrelsome,
cooperative, adaptable, lovely human beings. - Anna Baik
