Booming Testing Segment, Skill Shortages Coming Up
The 2010 Ross Report found that a shortage of testers could lead to significant delays in the development of software and systems. The report found that there will likely be an increase in demand for an extra 1500 to 2000 software testers in the next two years.
While earlier software testing had usually been carried out by organizations “as an afterthought in development — if it gets carried out at all”, more businesses are seeing the value of testing earlier in the development cycle, which is a positive both for us and for developers, the report says.
“The flipside to this testing boom, however, is that testers are set to become a more scarce human resource in Australia, which I’m concerned may result in corners being cut,” says KJ Ross & Associates director, Dr Kelvin Ross.
