What does a software engineer do?

Software engineer is a general term for people engaged in software development and programming. Specifically, it is the professional ability certification of personnel engaged in the software profession, indicating that they have the qualification of engineers.

In general, they are divided into four levels: software technician, assistant software engineer and senior software engineer. At present, there are three main sources of software testing engineers in China: one is that people who used to specialize in software development later switched to software testing, the other is undergraduate or graduate students recruited from colleges and universities, and the third is professional students recruited through training institutions.

It is understood that the supply mode of testing talents abroad is mainly the third type, but at present, except for a few training institutions in China, the supply scale of talents is not enough. Taking Tiantongyuan as an example, the java training of Tiantongyuan found that there are more than 9,000 existing software enterprises, and the talent gap in the software outsourcing field of Tiantongyuan alone is as high as 50,000, while the talent gap of programmers is even greater, and the supply is insufficient 10%. According to a person in charge of Beida Jade Bird, Tiantongyuan will have at least $20 billion in outsourcing orders in the next five years. It can be inferred that there will be a software talent shortage of 65.438+0 million in China. The huge industrial prospect and lack of talents make more and more IT enterprises pay attention to the reserve of software testing talents.
