Software Testing is the backbone of any IT product, Services Company. Industry size is about USD$13 billion globally and is one of the biggest recruiters and job creators around the world. Software testing can be manual and automated. Vskills certification will focus on the different concepts of testing, automated testing necessary documentation and project management needs; and metrics for testing, automated testing and different tools for testing like load testing, cost-driven training and GUI based testing. Some different test automation tools will also be introduced.
How will I benefit from Software Testing Certification?
A number of career options have evolved in the testing industry. It is looked as a good professional career for many software professionals. For example, from being test engineer one can move to senior test engineer, test lead to test manager; else can become Quality Assurance lead, Quality Assurance Manager. Thus options available in the testing domain are huge.
There is always a demand for good performance testers who can analyze the performance test results, identify the bottlenecks and suggest tuning techniques. There are a lot of companies, specializing in software testing, open source and integration services. International job consultants also are constantly looking for Software Testing Professionals for overseas jobs. The skill is also greatly in demand in super specialized government projects.
