A poll of IT professionals conducted by software quality assurance firm Sogeti found that 73 per cent believe there is a shortage of testing skills in Britain, which may interest those looking for new software consultant jobs.
The survey also found that more than half of respondents think their company does not spend enough on software testing, despite having to develop increasingly complex applications in shorter timeframes.
Richard Terry, deputy chief executive of Sogeti UK, said: 'Software testers and developers are painfully aware of the need to thoroughly test applications before they are unleashed on consumers or business users.'
He added that managers need to allocate enough time, budget and manpower to software testing in order to meet these concerns, which could create new IT jobs.
Earlier this month, digital agency Design UK reminded companies to ensure their websites are engaging and hold customers' attentions.
