Is QA testing in demand?
Is the market moving to more formalized approaches to QA testing?
I
Think the answer is 'yes', but the reason is more because it feels like this area of testing should be. Moving a lot more quickly than is currently happening, as it feels we need to get more involved in the. Process in a much greater level of commitment. There are also many issues to solve when doing anything that evens remotely resembles testing, so it would benefit to have a few experienced people. With a wider range of experience under their belts. QA testing is also not easy! In my opinion, it has the ability to move a lot faster, with proper planning, focus and management. If anything, QA testing hasn't changed much over the past 20 years; our approach, tools and. Approaches have evolved along with business processes, technology changes and best practices which have. Been made in response to changes in the market. So what should we look to for improvements in our QA testing strategies, procedures, approaches and activities? How can I make sure my organisation gets. The most benefit from my QA testing efforts, and what are the biggest issues preventing us from achieving. What I would like to see my organisation achieve? These are all very good questions, and I really look. Forward to discussing some of these at the conference, and hopefully others will too! My first session is 'Testing Businesses for Better Results - Strategies, Metrics, Challenges and New. Strategies. This session explores the challenges of business improvement through testing approaches, tools and activities, and discusses how we can use more rigorous testing methodologies to meet these. In recent years, there has been much research about using regression testing and automation, or even. Completely automating the build process. One issue I see when doing these sorts of tests is that while they may improve speed and quality of the code produced, they only examine behaviour when that code. Is first written or compiled. What if the behaviour was defined in some form, and not necessarily in code (which is just a form of static specification)? Or what if I wrote a unit test for something but. Missed a requirement, then the requirements aren't examined either until much later? Is this a waste. Of time?

How much do QA testers make in NY?
I'm a bit surprised how low the average pay for QA testers is.
It's just interesting to know how much money QA testers make in NY. (I'm looking for the average across all types of testers, not just manual testers.)
In the software industry, there are a lot of positions where the pay is low, and I'm sure the same is true for QA testers. I just wanted to know how much it's in NY.
It's obviously not true that you should never be willing to work for less than market rate. But at the same time, the market rate should never be set by the lowest bidder.
The pay for testers should not be set by the lowest bidder. I don't think it should be set by the highest bidder either.
The pay for testers should be set by an independent panel of testers who have the same knowledge and abilities as the testers, and whose only interest is in how much they can earn. We don't need another committee to set salaries. If you want to see how much we make, it's easy to look up our salary. You can go to www.nfos.org/salary/ and it will tell you what we make. If you want to know what the market rate is, you can look it up online.
It's interesting that you say that people should never be willing to work for less than market rate, because when I was doing freelance work, I often worked for less than market rate. I always made sure that I had a good enough idea of how much I could make per hour, so that I didn't end up working for less than market rate. (If you work for less than market rate, then you end up paying yourself a lower salary than you should. That doesn't make sense.)
At the same time, the market rate should never be set by the highest bidder. I don't think it should be set by the lowest bidder either.
