Software Test Analyst Review

Running and writing test scripts based off of user stories. Ensuring software undergoes risk assessments and passes quality assurance.

Consultancy and IT skills including testing and aspects of software development.

Pretty decently, the pay progression is good and I gain a lot of experience whilst having my degree paid for which is also nice I suppose.

Fairly structured, university has a clear layout and plan of modules and exams. The apprenticeship has 2 progression routes.

Again a fair amount of support. there is a big network of senior people who you can contact.

University can either be very helpful or not helpful at all and tell people they're failed a module when they haven't.

I learn a broad range of IT skills that can translate into work life.

Since covid there has been virtual teams and events you can attend. I personally haven't been to many as they are out of work hours.

Yes

Good jobs in a good industry in a good company that will look after you as long as you work hard.

Be yourself as they can see straight through people being fake.
