Automated Testing vs. Manual Testing and QA Jobs in Ireland
It seems as though automated testing or scripting experience is becoming mandatory for more and more software testing jobs in Dublin, particularly permanent jobs/better paying jobs/better employer jobs. It seems as though elsewhere a division has developed between manual and automated testers, but in Ireland it seems to be a case of automated testing experience becoming a prerequisite for most QA/ software testing roles.
The implications of this are interesting as many (if not most) of the QA people we’ve seen have a manual testing background. This seems to have become a pretty high-value skill in Dublin at the moment.
