Quite the opposite, if you want to break a bridge, you can apply load at random points, or you can perform a design analysis and apply load at critical load points and break the structure with less work. A good tester is a good engineer, that's pretty basic in most engineering disciplines. I developed application software for 16 years before becoming a tester. What did I start testing on? System level code that needed to be tested by... an application programmer. Most of you use the software that I built the tests for and never notice. That's a good thing!
