IT testing professions
Software testers check that programmes and applications work correctly by identifying and correcting errors before they are used by the public.
IT testing consists of checking that the various functions of a programme or application work as intended, by identifying and correcting errors before the product is made available to users. These tests can be manual or automated and are used to validate the quality, security and performance of software.
By carrying out tests at different stages of development, we ensure that bugs are corrected in time, minimising the risk of malfunctions once the software is in production.
Testers, also known as test professionals or test engineers, guarantee the quality and reliability of software before it goes into production. Their job is to detect errors, anomalies or flaws in applications, to ensure that each feature meets the required specifications.
There are different types of tester depending on the testing phase: functional testers validate a product's functionality based on user expectations, while automated test engineers create scripts to automate tests and execute them quickly. Performance testers assess the robustness and responsiveness of software under load.
