Software Test Engineer Jobs Overview
Companies, organizations, and individuals rely on a wide range of computer programs for a variety of purposes.

As a software test engineer, you’ll design and implement processes to check software for inefficiencies and defects. There are three common testing methods:
- black box testing (little-to-now knowledge of a program)
- white box testing (knowledge of a program’s internal structure)
- gray box testing (combination of black box and white box testing)
