Skills that raise your pay

• Test automation

  Writing code that runs thousands of checks on every change. The clearest pay jump in the field.

• Performance and load testing

  Finding out what breaks when a million people arrive at once. Specialized and well paid.

• Security testing

  Testing for what an attacker would do, not only what a user would do.

• Regulated industries

  Medical devices, aviation and finance require documented testing by law, so those testers are harder to cut.
