1. Individuals or devices that assess, evaluate, or analyze a product, system, or component's functionality, performance, or quality. Testers engage in various methods, such as experimentation, examination, inspection, or trial, to detect defects, bugs, or flaws that may hinder optimal operation. They employ a range of techniques, including manual testing, automated testing, regression testing, and user acceptance testing, to ensure that products meet desired specifications and objectives. Testers are commonly employed in software development, quality assurance, manufacturing, and research and development industries, among others.
2. Refers to substances, chemicals, or agents used to detect, identify, or confirm the presence or absence of a particular component or characteristic. Testers are typically employed in scientific, medical, or industrial laboratories and can be in the form of solution, reagent, or reactivity indicator, depending on the specific purpose and nature of the test being conducted. This enables researchers, analysts, or technicians to perform accurate and reliable measurements, analyses, or experiments to evaluate the composition, properties, or behavior of a sample or substance.
