What Requires To Be A Software Quality Professional?

Software Quality professionals are highly in demand worldwide. Therefore, organizations are developing separate department for Quality Assurance and ensuring the independence of that department in order to provide great values and quality products to their clientele.

To be a successful and competent Software Quality Professional one must exhibit and have some or all of the following skills and capabilities.

                   

1. Good understanding of software quality process and concepts
2. Good understanding of software testing concepts and their application.
3. Reasonable Understanding of Quality Improvement standards like CMMI and ISO series.
4. Good communication skills
5. Good hands on databases, RDBMS concepts and above all at least know how to write queries in SQL.
6. Reasonable knowledge of UML of any version
7. Good Intelligence Quotient – IQ, greater the IQ then greater the chances of grabbing any position and job in this world.

The above skills are blueprints to be a successful and competent Software Quality Professional, there could be more than that. The order is kept with respect to the importance that organizations give to their prospects employees, but this is not the case in general, great organizations give value to the persons have high IQ; that in some way suggests that the person is a Quick Learner which is considered as a triumph card for the organization during talent hunting. Organization prefers Quick Learner because he/she can adjust and mold himself/herself according to organization needs and can perform various flavors of tasks which help in both learning and career growth.

IQ can be increased by reading and listening to people have experience and have spent most of their lives no matter whether they went to high school or some sort of universities.

Intelligence Quotient = (Person’s Mental Age / Person’s Age) X 100

Let’s assume a sixty year old man writes his Autobiography and twenty years old high school fellow reads that biography than we can roughly estimate the guy’s intelligence quotient by the formula appeared earlier which will result in 300.

More accurate IQ is more complex to calculate and there exist so many other parameters to take care of that.
