Software Tester Review

I am currently in a role where I need to maintain tools used by testers on the account and set up new users to be registered in those tools.

I have learned how to use the interfaces of existing tools in the organisation as well as perform different functions on those tools.

I enjoy the programme very much as I am supported by helpful and delightful people who all want to see me succeed.

It is structured well, to an extent, as our qualifications and objectives have been mapped out and presented to us in a comprehensible and organised manner. Nothing has been made too difficult in the programme. That which could be improved would be the communication from our endpoint assessors.

I receive lots of support from the company and its senior employees.

As the company is our training provider, they do very well when planning and carrying out educational courses for us, be it in house or via external provider, and they always keep us well informed of how to reach our outcome.

It has helped me to become aware of testing policies and procedures so I could become aware of a few processes used by testing teams and projects across the account.

There are several sporting events that take place after and outside of work for people to get involved in. The account also holds monthly get-togethers for people from different workstreams so we can share success stories and socialise with each other.

It is a great place to learn and grow as an adult and as a professional. I've found that it is a place that has something for everyone and there is no shortage of learning new things.

Be willing to put in the time and effort on keeping on top of your apprenticeship work and on-the-job work before it becomes too heavy-handed. You can always raise concerns to managers, though, as they are always there to listen.
