1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

I work within software testing, and every day is different. Typically I would start by catching up on the latest project emails. I would then get ‘hands on’ with the system and carry out testing, which can involve testing areas such the performance, security or usability of the system. The aim is to detect any defects and ensure the software is the best quality possible. The systems we test can range from small recruitment systems to entire enterprise applications at the core of a business with 30,000 employees.
