Software test talent is shortaged
According to industry news: At present, there are 300,000 to 400,000 software test talents in China; excellent software test talents annual salary of 100,000 yuan. Software test talents are very tight in the developed countries in the software industry, and software tests occupy considerable proportion of system engineering throughout software development. For example, Microsoft Windows2000 projects use more than 1700 developers, and 3,200 testers, development and testers ratio of approximately 3: 5; other companies or projects are mostly around 1: 1. my country's software industry is worrying in this area, and companies often pay attention to development, and neglect software testing. Many companies do not have software testing departments, and don't even have software test positions. Now, the software industry is a sun industry that encourages development. With the development of industry and software companies, software companies have begun to recognize software testing to improve the importance of software quality, began to pay attention to software testing, producing a large demand for software testers. China Youth Daily reported on January 22: "According to the worry-free index, the software test talent has become the most shortage of talents in 2003. The demand for this class is mainly concentrated in coastal developed cities, of which Beijing and Shanghai demand account for the country The market is 33% and 29%; from the perspective of enterprise distribution, the demand for private enterprises has a maximum demand, accounting for 19%, and foreign-owned European and American business needs arrangement second, accounting for 15%. "Software test talent supply and demand contradiction analysis is currently in software talents There is a contradiction between supply and demand. On the one hand, the company has a lot of demand for software test talents, but it is suffering from the right person. On the other hand, many of the graduates and developers have a sense of software testing, but they are rejected by the employer without software testing. The author has participated in the job fair to recruit software test engineers and programmers. Among them, the 20 software test engineers recruited, the resume received was less than 10, and only 3 pieces were qualified, and only one person in the last hired; Another company recruits 1 programmer but has received more than 60 resumes, most of which are available. The vice president of a software company said they have recruited 8 UNIX operating systems based on UNIX operating systems, but they can't trust appropriate people for a long time. The cause of contradiction is due to the long-term development of light test in my country's software industry concept, leading to technical personnel to work, as well as the mechanism, concepts and mechanisms of the company lacking software testers, leading to serious software testers. Shortage, and can only recruit experienced software testers; domestic school education has also ignored software testing, university's major undergraduate courses, and even have a special software test class, just in other courses, Therefore, graduates cannot compete for software testing. Software test professional salary is mature, so each position level has corresponding work years; due to the software industry itself, software test is also valued in the past two years, and the test talent work used by relevant positions The year is short, so the software testing career has great development potential, and the prospect is broad.
