Course Overview

The employment opportunities will be extremely good for software testers in Canada and around the world.

Software testers are employed across a variety of industries, but mainly for companies providing computer systems design and related services. Other employers include wholesalers of computer and communications equipment, software publishers, and the finance and insurance services sector.

This occupation experienced significant employment growth over the last decade due to the increasing reliance on computer software and the Internet for many common services. Yet during the forecast period, one of the key drivers of employment will be the technologies being introduced in the automotive industry. Large automotive manufacturers and software producers have been investing in projects in different areas of the province to develop new features in connected cars and to advance self-driving car projects.

Also, as the financial services continue to transform their operating platforms, several opportunities are expected for software testers in these institutions, in digital laboratories, and among the growing number of financial technology (FinTech) start-up companies. Private and public sector venture capital funding is helping to spur growth in the emerging FinTech cluster and other sectors.
