Tester

A software tester is responsible for designing test scenarios for software usability, running these tests, and preparing reports on the effectiveness and defects to the production team. A software tester is also known as a software test engineer or a quality assurance (QA) tester.

Testers execute and log the tests, evaluate the results and document problems found. They monitor the testing and the test environment, often using tools for this task, and often gather performance metrics.

Here are skills that are beneficial to be successful as a software tester:

• Creating documentation.
• Preparing software tests.
• Understanding the testing process.
• Composing defect reports.
• Following sign-off procedures.
• Analytical and logical reasoning.
• Business mapping.
• Using a "glocal" perspective.
