3/13 Make Sure Your Catcher is Working Monday

I definitely think that it could be used on a resume to apply for an actual job in the tech field.

 

https://www.ibm.com/topics/software-testing

it's not impossible that such HITs exist, I used to see them pop up from time to time. but they are very rare, generally have a long list of the specialized knowledge you need to have in order to do the work satisfactorily, and are pretty stringent on the pre-qualing.

please please please do not do this if the only software testing xp you have is on mTurk
if you're looking for a title for what we do I generally go with "data entry clerk;" it also isn't super accurate but is a better fit level-of-complexity-wise

Thanks. I have worked on some actual projects, which I guess would be more in depth. I will not mention them out of respect for confidentiality.

In that case, it might be worth seeing if you can get your requester(s) to talk to you more about software testing - the kinds of things you'd need to know to properly get started. You never know what kind of connections you can make.
It's certainly not impossible that with some background learning, if your projects were complex enough and ran long enough (and there was someone at the company, if not the requestor themselves, willing to speak for you/praise your work - I don't know your circumstances obvi) they *might* be worth mentioning.
Just be cautious. As someone who's spent most of the last year trying to learn how to code: tech is *super* picky about its practitioners speaking the lingo right. You not only have to know the right things but how to talk about them if you want people to take you seriously.

I think mturk work would be a huge stretch to be called software testing. You're just answering survey questions, not even trying any software. Maybe UserTesting stuff can count for entry level experience.

For the most part though, modern software testing is pretty sophisticated these days. I'm sure there are some jobs that's just users manually testing stuff, but if you're actually looking to get into testing/QA for software, automation knowledge is almost a must.

Well it is a very broad field, and you could be a software tester for many different types of software applications which are not machine learning type software applications, so that would not be a "must." But as was said by the other commenter, who summed it up very well, your actual role in the project and responsibilities, are the most important to seeing if you can claim that job title or skill.

 

When I say automation, I don't mean machine learning, which is a whole different beast. I mean things like using the selenium test suite to automate testing or something like soap-UI to test APIs. As a software developer, my team doesn't work with many testers who only do manual testing - though there often is a manual component to most tests, and I feel like the future of testing is definitely moving more and more towards automation as well.

 

I see thank you. I am unfamiliar with automation tools used in the field for sure. The work I am familiar with would be manual testing by the user. Again, I don't know much at all about tools used in the field, and have only worked with the user interfaces provided to me.
