In the past, software quality assurance may have relied more on large groups of individual testers but now engineers create automated programs to discover weaknesses in software they’re developing.

00:22 Tasks / Activities
As part of sometimes large development teams, these engineers design testing plans and procedures, monitor the results for any bugs they uncover, and begin the process of solving the design flaws that cause the problems. Strong attention to detail and rigorous documentation are important to ensure that programs aren’t published with bugs or bad code.

00:44 Work Environment
Typically, quality assurance engineers and testers work in offices—often as part of large teams. Strong communication and interpersonal skills are important to coordinate testing and ensure that all issues are caught.

00:57 Education
Software quality assurance testers and engineers typically have a bachelor’s degree in computer science or a field related to software development.

01:05 Opportunity
Applicants with additional industry certifications and knowledge of a variety of programming languages and troubleshooting techniques may find it easier to find employment.
