Abstract

Software testing is one of the activities of the software development life cycle to ensure that the software has been implemented properly in accordance with the specification function (requirements). One of the factors that determine to success of software testing is that the software tester has the ability in accordance with the testing approach chosen. The problem is not all software testers have sufficient competence in the implementation of the test that causing the software to be inconsistent and not quality. One of the reasons is the prerequisite of the ability of the software tester in job vacancies not to mention in detail as a result the ignorance of job makers. This raises the hypothesis that the software industry does not seriously pay attention to the implementation of software testing. Therefore, research is proposed on mapping the competency of software tester to the role of testing during the software development phase conducted by the software industry in Indonesia. Software tester competency covers the area of skill test, IT skill and domain knowledge. The study was conducted using survey research, namely research studies to obtain software testing competency maps; making competency tester models, and surveying software testing conditions in the software industry in the cities of Bandung and Jakarta. The output of this research is the software testing competency matrix and the phenomenon of the current state of software testing competency that occurs in the software industry. This phenomenon covers software testing strategies undertaken and software tester competence in software development.
