What are the openings for computer engineers in Software testing?

Hi ya without any doubt software testing field has a great career prospect.Since in most of the software companies the development work is not that much done and also the development work is handed over to those who have very strong technical skill set so the majority of the work is of testing and maintenance only. so in nutshell whereever there is a developer there will also be a tester required.One more thing that software testing has great onsite prospects since whatever development has to be done that is done at off-shore and for testing it in the client environment onsite testing is greatly required which means great onsite opportunities. as regards pay package a tester and a developer in any software industry are paid eqivalently.there is no discrimination among these two. Also unlike development work testing job is cool and not hectic.

yes a BTech. fresher can also apply.Carrer prospects are very good as u can be senior bisuness analyst or senior test engineer in 4-5 year of time.As u might know 60% time and money is spent on testing and maintainence.And this field is growing in india at very rapid pace. All the best.
