Reason to Choose

Testing as a Career
#1 – It’s Flexible   
Testing is a very flexible career pathway because of the business and technically-
focussed roles available.

Testing is a great starting point for those looking to kick-start their career in
technology as you gain cross-functional skills that can be utilised across the whole
software development cycle
#2 - It’s in demand 
If you want a high growth, high paying career, QA is the way to go.

As a software tester, you’ll always be needed and will find no lack of leading
companies trying their hardest to recruit you, and there are constantly
opportunities to grow in your career to reach a managerial level.
#3 - There are many paths 
Every company that uses software needs software testers, which is to say, pretty
much everyone needs software testers.

Testers are valuable in basically any industry, from healthcare to retail to video
games. Additionally, you can choose whether you want to go into manual testing,
automated testing, performance testing, etc.
#4 - It’s a specialized skill 
Despite misconception, not anyone can test. Most testers start in a similar field
and find themselves being drawn to the role, but it requires in-depth knowledge
of UI/UX design and development patterns and practices, as well as analytical and
communication skills.

Not everyone will find that they have what it takes to be a tester, but those who
find it's their calling are sure to fall in love with it.
#5 - It’s challenging 
Testing is not easy -there are constantly puzzles and problems to solve.

The job will likely bring something new every day. If you prefer a boring job where
you don’t have to think too much then don’t pursue a software testing career. But
if you want a job that keeps you on your toes, anyone will tell you that testing is a
really great choice.
#6 - It’s rewarding   
You’re essentially helping your company build a better product.

If you take pride in your work and these people you work for, then testing is an
exceptional way to make a measurable difference in your organization's goals,
objectives, and bottom lines. In fact, you'll probably see your impact every day on
the job.
#7 - It’s important 
Testers don’t always get enough recognition for the work they do, but we’d be lost
without them.

As a tester, you’re advocating the end user and making sure that they’re being
delivered a quality product. Without someone to find bugs before software is
delivered, many businesses would be suffering from poor reputations and un-loyal
customer bases.
#8 - It’s creative 
You have to get a little innovative when testing. The process isn’t going to be
spelled out for you -- in fact, it takes a little detective work.

By acting as the end-user, you’re the one who has to get creative when thinking of
places there may be inconsistencies.
#9 - You’re constantly learning 
Whether you’re starting to code, automate, or security test, there’s always more
to learn in a software testing career, and you likely have a very supportive team
behind you to make sure you have all the resources you need to be the best.

Your work will never be stagnant, as you'll be continuously growing and improving
your practice.
#10 - You'll love your colleagues   
As the software industry increasingly trends toward concepts like 
Agile development, Continuous Integration, DevOps, and automation,
communication becomes a highly important skill for software testers.

This means that throughout the day you'll always be collaborating with smart,
interesting, and passionate people who share the same interests as you at every
level in the organization.
