software testing jobs in singapore.

[ShaluC]

Hi,

I have shifted my base from India to Singapore. I have 6 years of experience in software testing and I hold a DP.

I have been hunting for software testing jobs for quite sometime here in Singapore; however, till now i have not received any inputs as such from anywhere...

[sundaymorningstaple]

So what is your question?

[ShaluC]

I assume you have tracked job openings and also applied for few job openings.

To be frank there are more development/maintenance work in Singapore when compared to Testing related work. The reason being that the people who do the development/maintenance themselves do the testing also (multiple roles and multi tasking).

Here in Singapore for example the team leader might lead the team and also write code and take care of support activities.

There are only few organizations where there are dedicated teams/ individuals who do only manual testing.

Also note that there is more usage of automated testing in the Software Industry when compared to manual testing in Singapore. Because they don't want people to do the same task many times.

It would be easy for you to find a job if you specialize in either maintenance (or) support related activities/ automated testing so that you can multi task and then your chances to get a job here would be better.

Above are just my 2 cents

Good Luck !!

Have a guess where all my system test resource is based

Last night I found out that Microsoft could have used some software testers!

Recently got my new Windows7 based Dell Studio 15. Using older software at the moment (only lost one I thought - Adobe Acrobat 6 - old) but been having a bit of a problem reconfiguring my Outlook to function. Finally, after doing a bit of research as to why it wouldn't save my passwords and automatically log in and download my email, I found out that windows7 will only work with MS Office 2007 or newer! Bloody 'ell! I didn't want to jump for a newer version of MS Office! Word & Excel seem okay. I don't use access (filemaker instead). So much for their software testers!

Anyway, been threatening to do it for a long time, so last night, found out the Thunderbird is compatible with bot x32 & x64 bit windows7 so away we go. Bit of a problem importing the address book & rules though as MS thinks there are no other email clients out there.

another drawback I found in thunderbird is I cant minimize it to the tray....If you find out a way to import contacts from outlook do let me know as I am still re entering them one at a time..

Thunderbird is way faster and lighter than outlook though.
hope u enjoy it with ur new toy hahahaha

See if there are any automation tool courses that you can take up in Singapore.

is a link that can help you to get started.

Are you applying by email for jobs published in the portals or just uploaded your CV there?

[sundaymorningstaple]

From what I have gleaned, about the only way to do it is to import it into Outlook express and then export it as a CSV file. But apparently you will need to fill out EVERY cell with something. Or only export the Name & email address. Then it needs to be opened in XL/Calc and possibly reordered so as to match the TB database structure.

dont expect immediate response from them. Sometimes the ad might be to collect CV's and not for recruiting.

He's only trying to get to the magic number of 5 postings so can start spamming with PMs!
