how is software testing as a profession?

Here's how I see IT mindsets:\n\nTesting - you know where your start point is, you know where your end point is, you have a defined path to get there\n\nSupport - you don't know your start point, but you do know your end point, you have a relatively defined path to get there\n\nDevelopment - you have no idea where your start point is and a very rough idea what your end point is, you make the path up on the way\n\neach level above gets more challenging/stressful/exciting/scary as you move down the list\n\nBecause of the 'fixed nature' of testing, many people find it quite boring, however, testers are always in demand as no one ever wants to do it

I have worked software for many years.  I do not recommend it as a career any more.  \n\nTwenty years ago it was a good career choice - good money, lots of flexibility, and real conrtol over your project.  None of those are the case any more except for a lucky few.  In particular you have very little control over what you are going to do.  There is no engineering anymore - now it is simply producing code.\n\nI know nothing about mechanical engineering and couldn't advise you there

Manual Testing is done manually by tester by putting input and checking output.\nAutomated testing is done by using tools like Loadrunner, Winrunner there are too many tools.

This is from my software testing days but I believe checking syntatic accuracy/correctness is basically where you analyze the syntax of your code to see if there are problem spots like for instance checking a loop to see if there is a chance it might become an infinite loop and end up just bogging the system down.

Your two choices seem miles apart. SAP probably involves customizing interfaces for a HR-related program suite while software testing is a completely different area. What is your degree in? Choose the one that best matches your education and talents.\n\nAbout that company and the start date. Did you reply to their offer letter? Sounds like they are stonewalling you. I would think of looking elseware as I wouldn't want to join a company that couldn't make up its mind.\n\nGood Luck !

- Find out what type of software you'd like to work on most.\n- Research which companies in the USA that deal with the software you like to work on most. (e.g., Microsoft, IBM, Google etc...)\n- Make sure your resume is top notch, your academics and past work experience, personal projects are mentioned. Most importantly, make sure these are RELEVANT/RELATED to the job you want to do.\n- Go to the company's site and go to their Career's section, or "We're Hiring" links and send in your resume for the positions that you want most and fit you and your resume.\n\nGood luck!

The QA Tester generally does not have to have any knowledge of the software being tested; the Tester follows testing scripts.  \n\nThe QA Analyst must be familiar with all of the software requirements and develop tests to ensure that the software meets those requirements.

i am still computer engineering student just for you to know if ever my answer is not as accurate as you expected.i have just finished lately my software engineering subject and i think i can still remember it.\nAnswer: There is that so-called IEEE standard 730 that sets its software quality assurance. The IEEE standard 730 have some specifications or criteria to determine a software's quality.This quality assurance is actually plans to attain specific goal for a software.This plans are purpose,documentation,code control,training, supplier control,test, review and audits,media control,management,risk management..etc.I think there are 15 software quality assurance plans and im sorry i cannot recall the remaining ones.Of course each plan have its objectives,just like the purpose for example-"the product is intended for what". i assume i answered the technique you are pertaining to.That's all i know.Im happy to answer this  question.:)For further information you can read the software engineering by Hans Van Vliet

I have bad news for you. Most software testing in the US is being outsourced to other countries.

I work in a hospital laboratory. Testing is a way of life for me, obviously since I work about blood and blood products for a living.\nI realize in my line of work I stand the chance of catching all kinds of diseases, and practice Universal Precautions help protect myself.
