Software Test Engineer Jobs in UK

You'll take responsibility for maintaining and testing an organisation's computer software, to make sure it runs bug-free and without glitches. As well as efficient running, it's also essential to check for issues that might compromise the software's security. You might work in a large, dedicated software supply firm, or in the IT team of another organisation. You may even work for an outside consultant, called in to fix a firm's software problems.

You're likely to find yourself working alongside a business analyst whose role is to match the software as closely as possible to the company's requirements. You'll also liaise closely with computer programmers and code-writers. Typical jobs you might do include setting up an IT system, investigating a complaint to discover the cause of a particular technical problem, upgrading existing computer programmes and then testing to ensure they run bug-free, or advising your organisation on the purchase of new software.
