Software testing growth rate + Malaysian Software Testing Board (MSTB)



Here is proof that software testing is one with a rapid growth rate across the globe!

Demand for software test professionals is increasing around the globe, in line with the rapid growth of global demand for software testing services.

  • Malaysia too is starting to experience a similar phenomenon as the country continues to develop its software testing industry through the Malaysia Software Testing Hub (MSTH) initiative.
  • Being a software test professional requires specialised skills, particularly at the higher-end of the practice where strong domain knowledge also becomes an essential success factor, and being in a highly on-demand vocation, the career can be rewarding.
  • The Malaysian Software Testing Board (MSTB) promote software tester as a viable career among existing software professionals as well as university students in the software engineering and other information technology (IT) fields.
  • A Technavio Insights report, published in 2012 by United Kingdom-based Infiniti Research, had highlighted that the global outsourced software testing service market was growing rapidly and hence, there was a growing demand for skilled labour (in the discipline).
  • However, there is a shortage of such skilled professionals to meet the demand. The report cited that India, for example, was expected to face a shortage of 39,000 to 41,000 skilled workers in the next few years.
  • The current educational system does not meet the required standards and demand of the market.
  • It has become very important for software testing engineers to have comprehensive knowledge of the business domain and thereby have complete understanding of the clients’ businesses.
  • In a strategic move to mitigate this, MSTB has introduced the Q-College Corp (Q-CC) programme which aims to produce industry-ready professional testers, through ‘accelerated industrial grooming’, from among suitable qualified fresh graduates and working professionals in other disciplines but are keen to develop a career in software testing and software quality assurance.

Software Testing @ Microsoft

Image
In continuation from my previous  series of posts  targeting testing in top few companies from the technology space. After  Software Testing @Facebook  and @Google  we shall now look at Microsoft: Testing@Microsoft Software Development Engineers in Test (SDETs) are usually just called Test and sometimes Software Testing. SDETs are responsible for maintaining high testing and qualityassurance standards for all Microsoft products. Software Development Engineers (SDEs) are often referred to as Software Development. SDEs write the code that drives Microsoft products and upgrades. Very few teams in Microsoft are still using SDETs to do significant amount of manual testing. Manual testing is mainly outsourced. Actually, as early as in 2004, for example, most of the manual testing of MSN Explorer was outsourced. Think about it this way: it just doesn't make sense for test manager to spend their headcount (SDETs) on something can be easily outsourced.  Until 2005, Microso

Trim / Remove spaces in Xpath?

Image
If you are wondering how you can trim the spaces in your xpath, this is how: The normalize-space function strips leading and trailing white-space from a string, replaces sequences of white-space characters by a single space, and returns the resulting string. Example : Which one is better? //td[starts-with(normalize-space(),'Text to Trim')] //td[starts-with(normalize-space(text()),' Text to Trim ')] The second option is better as it targets at the specific nodes More string functions in XPATH: Functions Description starts-with( string1 ,  string2 ) Returns true if the first string starts with the second string. contains( string1 ,  string2 ) Returns true if the first string contains the second string. substring( string offset length ) Returns a section of the string. The section starts at  offset (which is a number), and is as long as the value provided at  length. substring-before( string1 ,  string2 ) Returns the part of  string1  up unti
