What’s software testing?


Software Testing is defined as an activity to check whether the actual results match the expected results and to ensure that the software system is defect-free. 


It involves the execution of a software component or system component to evaluate one or more properties of interest. 

Software Testing also helps to identify errors,  gaps, or missing requirements contrary to the actual requirements. 


On the technology side, the testing can be either done manually or using automated tools



Why software testing?

The reason that software testing is becoming a high-demand skill by the day is simple: more and more companies in the world are using software to help them run their business, and no one wants to face inconvenient bugs daily


Softwares became a foundation for so many online activities, and they are everywhere, if you stop to see it.

Microsoft Windows, for example, is a software (the most used in the world). 


Without, people with notebooks can’t use them, since it’s a basic function (except for Macbooks, that use Safari)

Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and many others are also softwares.

The increased usage of these tools demands someone to overview them and guarantee they’re running smoothly, and that’s where the software testing skills come in



Career pathways for software testing

Inside the career opportunities reserved in the software testing niches, there are a few who has the best chance to be wanted in companies


  • QA Analyst/SoftwareTester

According to PayScale, the average salary range of a software tester is U$56,448 per year (around 4k dollars per month!)
