Advancement Prospects
Internet quality assurance specialists advance by gaining experience and performing well in their positions. Many move into supervisory or managerial slots that focus more on analysis and planning than actual testing. Other specialists may advance to careers in programming, Web site development, or project management. As is common in the high-tech fields, advancement may require additional training or an advanced degree.
Compared with other Internet-related positions, there are fewer advancement possibilities for those who want to stay in QA. This is why promotions usually include moving to a new department such as programming or project management.
