The Indian IT
industry basically depends on mostly two types of jobs: Software Development
and Software Testing (QA). There are other firms too but here we will discuss
on these two types of jobs.
- Software development and testing are not different and both are
equally important. The job of a software tester starts as a project begins. But
the work of a developer starts much later than that.
- Undoubtedly it can be said that a software tester has better
knowledge of the entire functioning of the systems he is working on. On the
other hand software development is the most essential part because without it
nothing gets developed.
- Skill of a software developer is determined by the nature of the
project and the technology decided by the architects. Developers are selected
on the basis of the project. If architects want that a combination of Java,
Ruby, and Python would be in the project then the candidates who are trained
with these programming languages are preferred. But Software tester requires
completely different skill that is a mix of Java, Ruby, and Python along with
software manual and automation tools coupled with the scripting language.
- Software developers get promoted to module lead, team lead, project
lead, project manager and ultimately rely on the company hierarchy. Likewise Software testers have similar pathways
of career growth.
- It is true that some companies offer lesser salary to testers as
compared to developers at the beginning of the career. But after getting
experienced a tester draws more salary than a developer with same tenure of
experience.
