There was an article in July 2007 about job market for software testers produced by Cem Kaner, Professor of Software Engineering, Florida Institute of Technology. I want to highlight it again here because I found it quite interesting and worth reading at least.
Recently I looked into the requirements to the position of QA Engineer and similar ones. Practically all QA positions require development/coding skills.
Quotation from the article: “If you are a tester with some budget for enhancing your education, your best investment might be upgrading your development skills.“
