Hi..am an electronics engineer with no work experience.

But over a couple of months..I’ve slowly figured out that i like to work in a team,have communication with people as an essential ingredient of my work, like management as an element of work, and experiment the work i am doing. With these criteria in mind..would i enjoy software testing as a career??

Software Test Architect

I am one of the test architect. As per my knowledge, test architect will be the one who analyse to arrange, execute whole test life cycle till end and find out solutions for issues, think for contingencies about any risk in future. Who will be the pillar for whole STLC.
But still elaborate the nature of role that test architect plays as I had debate on this with my friend. Hence I want to know more. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I have 18 testers and 2,000 developers. Out of 800 projects I got out 200. I’m thinking push quality back to development; make them show me that they have delivered a good product that works. QA is really QA and not QC. Intense reviews of development’s work at various stages versus testing at the end and minor reviews. Development creates quality processes such as peer reviews, code walkthroughs, inspections, and verification test. QA does final release testing only and coordinates UAT.

I want to setup a team with a manager who is in charge of the overall QA processes, resources, and status reporting. Test designer(s) who determines, by project, the technical approach to testing, automation, test techniques, implementations, and testability. Test Analyst who identifies and defines the tests to be run, determines the details of the test, the results of the test, keeps track of changes and regression testing. I want a Test System Administrator who works with development to setup the test environment and resets the environment in a recovery mode. And finally a group of testers to work on multiple projects from scripts provided by the test designers and test analysts. They are a swat team ready to move in an test. Of course a lot of education must be performed to improve the teams testing and technical skills.

How do I get development to work to create the perfect software that works correctly based on the requirements so that my testing does not have to worry about simple things not working but can try to hit the odd areas that might be overlooked?
