here is a general myth that software testers need not know how to program. In the current era of test automation, treating the application just as a black box is no more enough, software tester should have ability to open the box and provide valuable insights and create automated tests as he/she can. Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) is the new name of this next-generation software tester.

In the world of Fast-IT and digitalization, disruptive technologies like Social, Mobile, Analytics/Big Data, Cloud(SMAC), and IoT are challenging established definitions of everything. New software development approaches like DevOps are promising faster and quality delivery advocates Agile and automation. Which promises more and more automation and frequent releases. Testing the applications which are developed in these latest technologies is complex and demands not only the knowledge of software testing but even of the development and some nuances of the technology in itself.

The industry has now started demanding a profile of a specialized tester called SDET, Software Development Engineer in Test. SDET is a software tester with expertise in programming, the next step of automation tester. As time will pass, a clear trend is emerging toward a preference for SDETs over only QA engineers.

Considering this demand to create next-generation software Testers or SDETs, leading training institutions SEED Infotech has created a job-oriented course that not only prepares one for current job challenges but gives an edge through the latest technology learning to put one on the fast lane of becoming SDET, the future!
