No testing…no software!
There is always a
need for overall software testing no
matter the observed brilliance of the developers; even if you feel they are the
best in the world. The need to put software through factory testing before
release is a prerequisite practice as the integrity of developers is tied to
the quality of their software when it hits the market. It therefore becomes
unavoidable for software developers
to sought the service of software test engineers to help discover bugs, vulnerability
and security holes rather than receive calls from users identifying what ought
to have been identified and fixed before being declared consumable.

You get to be a hero, and help people to sleep at
night
No system is ever
perfect in the universe. There is more than average possibility that you will
find something to fix or adjust in new software. But the question you should
answer is who finds out?
·
You (very good)
·
Your customer (this not a good case as the dignity
of your firm will be at stake)
·
Creepy hacker (this is the worst that you should
not allow to happen)
So which will be
your preferred choice in the interest of your organisation? When a software test is properly conducted before
being released, the developer will be saving a whole lot of users some
sleepless night because they will have nothing to worry their head about due to
buggy application. Therefore software
testing becomes a priority to developers before it gets out of the factory.

You develop a wide range of multidisciplinary skills
Rational thinking is critical in software testing. Ability to be
insightful, resourceful and decisive let you exercise your critical thinking
skills to see things others cannot. As a software
test engineer, your skills avails you to work with client from different
sectors of business niche. Thus, developing yourself to meet the community of
clients software need is a major decision you have to take. Not reducing
yourself to just one or few software expertise will show that you are
futuristic in working with different category of clients. Also, you have need
for an improvement in your communication skill if you must maintain a good
working relationship and environment for a career such as yours.

You are always on the leading edge
Software testing is a dynamic field and requires swiftness
of the practitioners to remain relevant. Today, technology platforms are
advancing thereby introducing new and better ways of operating, maintaining,
servicing as well as testing software.
Because of the professionalism required for the skill, there are series of conferences
that are held at regular intervals across the globe to showcase and discuss
trends and practises in vogue. Also, literatures are continually published and
made available in the public domain by top players in the field.

Software
testing has its material rewards, and opportunities for rapid career growth
The field is more or
less under-studied and as such, the potentials in it have not been fully
explored. Dedicating your time to this discipline will give you more ground to
gain in terms of experience when it is now become competitive and crowded. The
longer time and effort invested in it, the more highly-valued you become and
well-compensated by clients in the process.
The need for software testing can never go into
extinction because bugs will always be a prey software developers hunt for.
Therefore, the need for up-to-date software
test engineers will always be on the scale of preference of any client who
wishes to launch their software soon.
