Career Change: From Software QA Engineer to Systems Analyst?
blessed asked:
I am considering a career change. I am currently working as a Software QA Engineer with 10 years experience and now I am considering a career change and going for a Sr. Systems Analyst position. What are my chances to be hired at a senior level? Any advices on what preparations I should do in this change? Thanks for your inputs in advance.
I would like to add that my current position is Sr. Software QA Engineer. I have some programming experience. I have at least 3 years of test automation experience. With that, could I quality for a Senior position? Thanks for your reply.

Het huren binnen op hoger niveau is een beetje van een rek. " QA van de software Engineer" geluiden soort van gelijkaardige " I couldn' t- programma voor crap, zodat testte ik enkel software."

Het korte antwoord is niet waarschijnlijk. Men zou verwachten dat een senior SA heeft ervaring met de volledige ontwikkeling levenscyclus. Hoewel QA is een integraal onderdeel van de levenscyclus, uw ervaring mist specificatie en de ontwikkelingsfase. Voor een SA, wat nog belangrijker is dan eigenlijk het schrijven van code is de mogelijkheid te vertalen end-user-eisen in pseudo-code – waar de gegevens vandaan komen en gaat en hoe de gebruiker interface kan worden als enz. Als je het echt wilt worden SA, stel ik voor dat u begint met een junior niveau standpunt tegelijkertijd de uitoefening passende professionele certificeringen (dwz MCSE). Best wishes.
