+\foilhead{Testers}
+
+Testers are your software's first users.
+
+The point is the get feedback.
+
+Need immediate feedback, positive or negative.
+
+A dialogue, not a monolog.
+
+Apply for a tester job, even if you don't know how to write program.  Pick up a good book on testing.  Learn automated test suites.
+
+Not only testing whether a program works or not.  Also check things
+like text fonts, colors, user interfaces.
+
+Misconception: let the worst programmer do testing.  Consequence: an incompetent team.
