What should i be? A programmer? A Tester? Test Automator? SDET? Evil Tester Show Podcast

"Should I be a programmer or a Tester or a Test Automator?" That is what we are going to consider in this episode of The Evil Tester Show.

Software Development requires harnessing all the skills. Because Software Development requires programming, testing, automating. And more: design, analysis, requirements, negotiation, management, etc.

But - we need to get a job. And to get a job, we specialise.

Demonstrate your capability with - side projects - github - blog

Emphasise the aspects of your current role, which map on to your ideal role.

If you 'love' one thing then do that. Don't even question it.

You have to decide what your motivation is.

Things that don't matter are the things that can be taught.

What you can't be taught is to be interested.

Take a long term view.

Try to find something interesting in all aspects of Software Development so that you learn them all.
