213 Software Development Engineer in Test Reviews
Submit a Review"I love to do my work as a developer."
"This is the best position."
"Great for creativity and quality driven results.Not much developing as an SDE position."
"I love having a large amount of control over the design of my tests and constantly exploring new ways to interface with a wide variety of applications/systems under test. Designing and writing software is definitely my passion and I get to do this for a majority of the time as an SDET. I don't like that I have little say in development of the product and it can be very difficult to convince a dev that they did something wrong sometimes. I do yearn to create my own products but am typecast."
"I never regret being an SDET.In my opinion SDETs are the ones who qualify the product and they think from the customer point of view while testing any product."
"Good: in order to develop good tests, we actually have to learn a lot of things about the business. Sometimes, we have to know more than the developers. Bad: sometimes, the developers just drop everything to you without telling you any additional necessary information. You will have to spend times to investigate."
"It is a good career being an SDET but a recurring job where we need to keep performing the same tasks over and over again.And the recognition is given only when you screw up something but not when you perform an excellent job of keeping the product bug free."
"It's a very creative field and it's fun to break someone else's code."
"I personally prefer to be closer to the User Experience, as an SDET my work had direct personal impact on very few people. As a software developer I much prefer the application software space."
"The pay is decent. Benefits are OK. Could be better."
"I would have preferred more automated testing because of the requirement to repeat test suites on new software releases."
