Test manager job

If you're a test manager and you are looking for statistics about test management jobs then you could visit the Jobs Watch site

As well as lots of information about trends in number of test manager job vacancies advertised (which is slightly down on the same period last year) and average test management job salaries (which is slightly up on the same period last year) there is more detailed data. Did you know that nearly half (48.02%) of all jobs listed were for test management roles in the UK were in London? Or that ISEB was mentioned in nearly a third (29.67%) of jobs for test managers.

It also covers other attributes in the descriptions of the job vacancies posted, such as methods and processes, vendors, system software, applications, development technologies, compliance and QA, programming languages (?) and qualifications. I was not surprised to see that only 0.027% of all test manager roles cited a need for MiFID experience whereas Sarbanes Oxley was mentioned in 0.43% of jobs. That's 16 times as many. Either way its good to see regulation is still a fringe area in test management.
