What's the State of Testing in 2015? Take this Survey!

What's the State of Testing in 2015?


My friend Joel Montvelisky has asked me to pass the word about a survey he is running in association with the magazine Tea Time with Testers. As they did last year, they are trying to discover the state of testing in the world today.

And as I did last year, I'm asking you all to pitch in and help!

As Joel says:
We all want to understand more about our testing community. And this is why we ran the first State of Testing Survey, a year ago. In that survey we asked our fellow testers about their jobs, their challenges and what they thought about their professional future. 
The response to that survey was overwhelming, and the results were really interesting. You can get the previous State of Testing Report from the QABlog site (http://qablog.practitest.com/state-of-testing/year-2013/). 
Still, we believe that it is important to see not only a snapshot of our reality but also how it evolves and progresses over time. This is why we are now running the Second State of Testing survey. We believe it will allow us to understand how our community sees its reality today, and also start plotting the path we are taking in our professional endeavour.

So, as a valued member of the professional software testing community, can you help out this worthy cause?

Go to https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/state_of_testing_2015 and fill out the questionnaire. I know this will be helpful not only to you, but to all software test professionals worldwide.

Thanks!
