Road from Rated to Gold Tester Part#4

It is a great feeling to be one of the top players in a team. Where team, can be any team from soccer players, basketball, baseball and also testers. I am Gold Rated Tester now and I am glad that I can bring my skills and experience into the community of Tester where we can learn and share from each other.I always think back that time when I was the beginner in uTest community and think of my steps and actions I took to become the Gold Rated Tester. I believe that if I keep my will and passion on the same level, I can reach and learn more. And also make more money. But if I keep my level a bit higher and use my curiosity more, I believe I can go beyond the limits. That's exactly what I am looking towards to do :D Pushing the limits.
     I cant forget those moments, where I used to check my Ranking status every week on Mondays. I wanted to see that Golden badge under my name and be proud so much. I was accepting every single Test cycle possible and just Test, Test and Test. Being a Proven Rated Tester those days made my mind just look for every single opportunity to test and grow ranking. After couple weeks I became Bronze Rated Tester. I was and I still do count every single Test cycle that I accept and participate. But as my Ranking was growing, I have noticed that my report quality was getting better and better. And ofcourse as a new Testers, I used to chase the Quantity of the bugs rather than Quality. By the time I have learnt that quality is a MUST be first priority of any Tester. Because High quality bug/defect can give developers App changing ideas and thus High Pay Rate for Tester. I keep changing my Testing methodology and looking for more "Sensitive" areas of each App that I was Testing. Since then I started to keep a record of my High valued Bug/Defects that I reported. 
      I keep learning and improving my Software Testing skill set and also sharing it with my fellow Testers all around the world. Many Thanks to uTest Community and I wish best of luck to my friends and testers.
