Software Development Engineer in Test

A software development engineer in test (SDET) is a software engineer that combines software testing and development to automate the testing itself.[citation needed] The title and acronym originated from Microsoft in 2005.[citation needed] Apple and Amazon also use the SDET job title;[citation needed] while Google prefers SET (software engineer in test) for a similar role.[citation needed]
Traditional software testers who manually test code are typically given the title Quality Assurance Analyst or Quality Control Engineer,[citation needed] and they customarily work in separate departments from the regular software engineers.[citation needed] By contrast, companies frequently place SDETs in development teams to closely participate in the complete software development process.[citation needed] The SDET must be able to automate processes for thorough testing and develop code on his/her own.[citation needed] The new popularity[according to whom?] of the SDET role is driven by the DevOps movement toward integration (development being integrated with second skill set) and automation.[citation needed] An SDET's knowledge of software development is often focused on testability, robustness, and performance,[citation needed] and they usually play a contributory role in the creation of new software.[citation needed] An SDET's skill set will often include direct experience in software development, scripting, and how to manually test software for bugs.[citation needed]
