State of Testing Survey – 2021 welcomes your input

For the last seven years, I have enjoyed answering and reading over the results of the State of Testing Survey produced by PractiTest and Tea Time for Testers.

The 8th annual State of Testing Survey has been live for a number of weeks now.  As we have just entered a new year, often many testers will take time to reflect and think of new goals.  While in this period of reflection, now is a great time to take the survey.

For many years, Testing Curator has promoted and shared great content from the testing community.
However, from time to time, there are testing events that come up that Testing Curator just has to share.

One such event is Super Reads @ 12.12.  When @Nithin_Synapse of Synapse QA contacted us about the event, we knew that we had to help bring awareness of this event and become a Community Partner.

StateofTesting2020

For the last six years, I have enjoyed answering and reading over the results of the State of Testing Survey produced by PractiTest and Tea Time for Testers.

I am excited to see that the 7th annual State of Testing Survey 2020 is now live and ready for responses.

“The State of Testing™  seeks to identify the existing characteristics, practices, and challenges facing the testing community today in hopes to shed light and provoke a fruitful discussion towards improvement” – PractiTest

By taking the survey and promoting this en devour, you can help testers answer questions like:

– How much do your counterparts earn across the globe?
– What testing skills should you be working on to stay on top, appreciated and employed?
– What best practices have others found useful, and what mistakes have they made that you can avoid?
– How in the world does everyone manage with the triple A’s?: Agile, Automation & AI

Be sure to take the survey as soon as you can and let’s see if we can get a record number of response!  It only takes 10 minutes and you help the testing community learn more about itself.
