Hiring any candidate as a tester and viewing the role as entry-level demotivates testers by not recognizing testing as a skilled profession. It also discourages establishing a collaborative working environment between testers and developers, and relies solely on quantitative metrics rather than coaching to evaluate tester performance, which fails to value quality work.
