Why should I become an Automated Software Tester?

The performance of IT is what makes competitiveness and innovation possible for companies in all industries. Due to technologization globalization IT employees are desperately sought after. The professional association of management consulting/information technology (UBIT) informs that in 2018 alone there will be a shortage of approx. 10,000 IT specialists in Austria. This shortage of specialists and generalists with IT skills will be exacerbated by access restrictions to universities and their high drop-out rates of over 50%.

Software Testers are crucial in our ever more digitalized world to ensure that products, both in-house as well as for customer consumption, function reliably and quickly.

The constant excess demand is the reason for the high starting salaries for Software Testers. Around € 37,000 is a standard gross annual salary for a fresh Automated Software Tester.

 

Method and time required:

Monday to Thursday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. the attendance part takes place in the CodeFactory itself, either on-site or online, depending on the course. Every morning, application-related daily tasks are assigned, which are solved in pairs or in small teams. The advantage is learning with and from fellow students. In the meantime, our experienced trainers will supervise the group of students and provide advice and support. In the context of larger, real business projects, the students learn what is important in project management in addition to their technology stack.

The trainers support you and your team partner in solving problems AFTER they have been tried to solve them independently. This way of working is unfamiliar for many students at the beginning, but has proven to be essential to become a good software tester.

Afterwards you should plan time for a self-determined preparation for the next day with learning materials provided for this purpose, which can be scheduled with approx. 1-2 hours.

On Fridays at 8:00 a.m. the weekly CodeReviews are released – a mini-project which, in contrast to pair programming, can be solved independently. You have time until 17:00 on Saturdays to hand in the CodeReview. On average 8 hours will be needed to solve the task, this can vary a bit depending on the chapter.

 

All in all, you can assume the time required for the course to be about the same as for a full-time job – this compact, efficient training course means that you will be ready to start your career immediately upon completion!

In general, however, we do not recommend employment and jobs in addition to the training, as it is a very intensive and time-efficient program and full-time employment can ensure optimal learning success.

Requirements:

You are motivated to work in a team and have the ability to learn independently. Our trainers speak German, but the lessons are held in English. For this reason, you should have a good basic understanding of English.

Your own laptop, ideally with an SSD hard drive and at least 4 GB RAM, is recommended. However, we can also provide a rental laptop if required.
