Software QA Tester Duties and Responsibilities
Job tasks for software QA testers vary depending on the software they’re testing and the environment they work in. However, these core duties are generally the same:
Establish Quality Standards Software QA testers establish quality standards for software programs, features, and applications.
Design Test Plans Software QA testers design test plans and test schedules for all software.
Perform Tests Software QA testers test new software code, features, programs, and systems.
Report Bugs Software QA testers document all defects and bugs found in tested programs and apps and write bug reports that outline these problems.
Supervise Software QA Team Software QA testers supervise and lead quality assurance and software development teams. This can include teaching staff members how to use software programs and implement test plans.
Identify Risks Software QA testers identify software and quality risks in tested programs.
Write Reports Software QA testers write recommendation reports for fixes to bugged or otherwise defective software programs.
Software QA Tester Education and Training
Software QA testers are typically required to have a bachelor’s degree in computer science or a similar technical field, though some employers will consider candidates who have an associate’s degree in addition to past work experience in software testing. Because software QA testers already have the education needed to perform their duties, little to no job training is provided. After a brief orientation period that usually lasts no more than a week, software QA testers begin performing their regular job duties.
Software QA Tester Salary and Outlook
PayScale data shows that QA testers earn a median income of $56,217 annually. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), computer systems analysts (who are similar to software QA testers) earn $88,270 in median annual pay. The BLS expects employment in this field will rise 9 percent through 2026, which is as fast as the national average growth rate. Full-time software QA testers typically receive complete benefits packages that include health insurance with dental and vision coverage. Paid vacation days, retirement plans, and paid holidays are usually included in these packages. Some companies offer additional perks such as free parking, free meals, and employee excursions. Freelance software QA testers do not receive benefits, as they are responsible for finding their own jobs and managing their own healthcare and vacation needs.
