    I meant that a developer does not usually get into system testing. Of course, he is responsible for unit testing as a part of development.

      And I'm saying developers aren't really into testing at all (unless the testing is performed in production).

        You mean, like Microsoft does? :sigh:

          While on a mailing list of Job openings in around my area, I noticed two Job openings for software development. One was titled "Software Developer" and "Software Engineer". For both the responsibly/Job description and requirement was same (Engineer needed English knowledge along with Engineering degree though). So what is the difference between too in a software Company.

          cheers,

          In many jurisdictions, Engineer is a professional title like Doctor is for an M.D.. Calling yourself an Engineer without being a state registered Professional Engineer (P.E.) can lead to fraud charges. Most of the true P.E.s I have seen in software typically work on control systems and the like.

            You can save 15% or more by switching to Gieco.

              I have no idea, but I do know the difference between a mathematician and an engineer. Week 1: Researcher brings in a mathematician and an engineer into the lab. There are two stoves with a pot of water on each. He tells them to boil the water, so they both go over and turn the stoves on high and soon enough, each has a pot of boiling water. Week 2: Same researcher, mathematician, and engineer in the same lab. This time the pots are on the shelf. The researcher gives them the same instruction - boil a pot of water. The engineer grabs a pot, fills it from the sink in the lab, and puts it on the stove. He then turns the stove on and soon has a boiling pot of water. The mathematician goes to the shelf, grabs a pot, fills it with water and then puts it on the stove. After a few minutes, the researcher asks the mathematician why he stopped at that point. The mathematician responds "I proved you can boil the water from this state last week."
