Status Report by QA/Tester

As a tester in fact QA you need to be more practical with your work. there are certain rules and process for doing our job but you should not bond with you to follow. You can even start a process itself which may reflects better that using previously.
As Bill Curtis, co-author of the Capability Maturity Model (CMM)said "Having a process such as CMMI in place doesn't guarantee quality software or systems,".

once I was needing to send the status mail of bugs to one of the client working with. I was very tensed ..what and how ?
For this I goggled and share with our seniors. I was not satisfied with outcomes. Really it was project specific. it can be different for different.
in fact i send it like this.I am sharing this with you. Hope this will beneficial for you also.
