The world is now concentrated on the electronic medium. From shopping to
bill payments to keeping in touch with people, everything is done
virtually. The parts of software engineering which have come to the
forefront include app development for various operating systems,
software for different official purposes and much more.
A lot of
companies are implementing
ERP software such as Microsoft .Net and SAP
which require software testing before they are opened to employees for
usage. During the times of testing, bugs and errors in programming code
are detected which are rectified for smooth execution of programs.
Parts of the advanced software testing are for whether the software can
be run on various environments or not, the tasks are being performed
within a stipulated time, input mechanism is correct or not etc. Testing
software requires checking whether codes are correctly programmed and
also if they are executed well.
Software testing fails at predicting in
what environments particular software will work but it certainly
indicates the environment in which it fails to work.
Software testers are much demanded in companies and it is quite a
lucrative career. An average software tester makes around £25,000 to
£30,000. By undergoing a course in testing, you can become a successful
tester. The pre-requisites for undertaking such courses include holding a
graduate degree in a technical or business discipline and taking an
aptitude test. These testing courses include several modules, including
QTP testing along with Quality Centre as a part of their training
schedule and an internship of 1-2 months under a consultant or an
in-house consultancy company such as T-Systems and Accenture. At the end
of the course, you will have to submit a report of your internship and
also take the ISEB and QTP exams.
