While looking up some LabVIEW details I came across this article about skills a test engineer should have. This dovetails nicely with quite a few blogs I've written. It will make you think.
Great article but didn't see any emphasis or mention about certified professionals or certifications. Was searching for various certifications' and was considering QAI's offerings - http://bit.ly/qaistp What are your views on the same.
Good article, but generic. You have to agree with most of the article as the prescribed attributes for a test engineer could describe just about any engineer today. I don't think that knowledge of RTOSs is a priority over say Verilog or VHDL.
It's been a decade since I did pure software testing, and the QAI certs are not familiar to me. When I did software testing at HP they taught an in-house software testing class that you were expected to take.
I've known plenty of engineers who knew very little, if anything, about programming, RTOS, or distributed systems. What I got out of the article is that test engineers - at least hardware test engineers - need to have a variety of skills, similar to a post I wrote in 2008.
Interesting items about test engineering in general, whether you run script engines simulating GUI use, write LabVIEW code all day, or do hard core SPC.
This is only a test
Test engineering is a profession that can mean many things, depending on where you work. Whether you run script engines simulating GUI use, write LabVIEW code all day, or do hard core SPC, this blog is intended to be interesting.
