Lots of guys already have shared interesting facts..... Here is a good saying - "Knowing that a bottle of COKE will burst like a fountain if opened after shaking. Someone who tries that to validate it has a Testing DNA"
Here are some more differences that can help you make choices :) Developer: 1. Works towards clear cut requirements and implements that in most-efficient manner. 2. Language is fixed - If the product is being developed in C++ that's the only language you use (Limited by limitations of language). 3. Least Creative until unless you work as a UI Developer on an appealing UI product (e.g. Apple iPAD, Windows Phone, Windows 8). 4. As number of years grow in that role, You Build Depth in one area. SDET: 1. Validates that implementation meets the requirements as well as is the most-efficient by Writing Automated Tests/Tools that can validate that. (Best example to think is how does Google Search Engine get tested, How Microsoft tests Excel, How Visual Studio is tested) - These are softwares that demand SMART ways of testing, Not boring ways of running some tests manually. Which tells why they want SDETs and not Testers. 2. Choose whatever language suits your needs (Scripting, C++, C#, Powershell, Perl etc). 3. Build Breadth in Many Areas (Depth in areas you like the most). 4. Creative: Testing demands creativity, Think about customers and come up with interesting scenarios in which customers will use the product. Apart from these definitions a lot depends on the team you join and the kind of work it does. You will find Un-Satisfied Developers as well as Testers.
