Harikrishnan Natarajan, Ram Kumar Somasundaram, K. Vasanta Lakshmi · 2013
Every day many of us have been introduced to latest Testing life cycle, Tools, webinars, articles and books published by testing vendors. By enabling feature testing with these data’s, our research attempts to answer the question Engineering, Development and Testing – Skills Needed by Future Tester. It is concerned with the feature testing era that examine the area of Requirements Engineering, Development and Testing through the development models, which are known as software development life cycle. At presents there are different development models namely, waterfall, Spiral, RAD, V Model, W Model, Systems of Systems, Safety critical systems, Prototyping, Extreme programming and Agile Model. These have resulted in testing era asking a new set of questions to testers, like what sort of Skills Needed by Future Tester?, Factors driving these changes include business dynamics, changes in underlying technology, a deeper understanding of quality and user experience, and now we are at an interesting journey on what the future holds for this discipline, moving into a zone of what sort of skills are becoming inevitable for Future Testers community. When there is a future testing model arrives, this paper examines all these future stuffs with a detailed analysis.
