Yes, I forget sometimes that I have moved from testing into development! I had reported two defects today, which later came up in discussion with a senior developer and as it turns out all that was missing was 3 lines of code. I wrote it in 2 minutes or so, which saved hours of the current process.
I guess my general reluctance to venture into bugfixing is my fear that I may end up breaking more code than I fix. But with a few pointers, and assistance from the more experienced crew, I am beginning to feel that it is not such a bad idea after all. As they say, learning-on-the-job is the best training.
Lesson learnt.
