Definition: A software Tester utilizes industry tool sets to validate full functionality of systems as well as interoperability with databases and both horizontal and vertical integration with other interfaced systems. This is not limited to testing as it encompasses quality assurance for products, user experience for software/applications and accessibility. Software Testers should have the ability to anticipate and react to frequently changing business climate, deliver results to continual deadline constraints. An ideal Software Tester must also be committed and willing to grow in and be the example of work relating to diversity, equity, inclusion and anti-racism.
