Hello Abi,

A Progressive Web Application ,  is a type of application software delivered through the web, built using common web technologies including HTML, CSS and JavaScript. It is intended to work on any platform that uses a standards-compliant browser. Functionality includes working offline, push notifications, and device hardware access, enabling creating user experiences similar to native applications on desktop and mobile devices. Since a progressive web app is a type of webpage or website known as a web application, there is no requirement for developers or users to install the web apps via digital distribution systems like Apple App Store or Google Play.

I hope your question has been answered properly.

All the best!

Production support is the field in which developer involves activities like a project. It involves the maintenance,customer support and small enhancement.

Software testing is the process of check correctness of developed software. Both Production support engineer and software testing engineer are good.

In my perspective,production support is better than software engineering. I would recommend go for production support engineering. It depends on you because it's your choice.

Best of luck!!

Hello there. Hope you are doing good!

Greetings to you,

The admission into NITs is only based upon JEE Mains rank. They do not consider your JEE Advanced score or qualification. One just need to apply for NITs through JOSAA as per their respective JEE Mains rank. Thus, you can surely apply for NITs through JOSAA, regardless of your JEE Advanced score. Good luck.

Hello Abdullah,

Thanks for contacting Careers360.

A software testing engineer plays a crucial role in application development. These experts are quality assurance professionals who test applications in order to root out funky interface issues, poor performance, and bugs. To accomplish this, they run a variety of tests, including user acceptance, scalability, functional, performance, and stress tests, at different stages throughout the life cycle of the software. Since software testing is critical to the usability and quality of the final product, testers are brought in at the design and planning stage, and they may continue to provide support after the product is released.

Many employers prefer candidates to hold a bachelor’s degree in engineering, math, or computer science, although a degree in these fields isn’t always required. If you have solid letters of recommendation or references, a stable work history, and years of experience, you could potentially land a job without earning a college degree. An intermediate-level software testing position usually requires at least three to six years of software testing experience or a combination of experience and education.

• Skills Required: Regardless of the career path you take, there are certain skills that are critical if you are considering becoming a software tester. You should have thorough knowledge of several testing tools, be a multi-tasker, and be fluent in Windows, Linux, and/or UNIX as well as command-line and scripting tools. Excellent communication skills are a must, particularly in terms of customer service, product management, operations, and development. You should be able to understand environments or platforms as well as different development methodologies such as Scrum and Agile, and you will need to perform software testing in all phases of the software life cycle. Finally, knowledge of programming languages such as Ruby on Rails, PHP, Python, SQL, C# or C++, JavaScript, and Java is important for success in this career.
