Software testing is one of the crucial supporting processes of software lifecycle. Unfortunately for the software industry, the role is stigmatized, partlydue to misperception and partly due to treatment of the role in the softwareindustry. The present study aims to analyse this situation to explore whatinhibit an individual from taking up a software testing career. In order toinvestigate this issue, we surveyed 82 senior students taking a degree ininformation technology, information and communication technology, and computerscience at two Malaysian universities. The subjects were asked the PROs andCONs of taking up a career in software testing and what were the chances thatthey would do so. The study identified 7 main PROs and 9 main CONSs forstarting a testing career, and indicated that the role of software tester hasbeen perceived as a social role, with more soft skills connotations thantechnical implications. The results also show that Malaysian students have amore positive attitude towards software testing than their counterparts wheresimilar investigations have been carried out.
