Why a Bachelor’s degree or its equivalent in a specific specialty (i.e., Electronics

Engineering) is required:
As this requires understanding of all project-related activities, detailing of project
duties, and keeping track of all project tasks, one needs a Bachelor’s degree, or the
equivalent, in a specific specialty such as Computer or Electronics Engineering,
Computer Information Systems, Computer Science, or a closely related field, for the
position. Candidates with such degrees have a better and more detailed knowledge
of how to record all the raised defects at a common shared location for easy access.

Functional Testing, User Role Testing, UAT and Post-implementation testing. An
individual without at least a Bachelor’s degree, or its equivalent, in a specific
specialty such as one of the previously described fields would be unable to perform
this duty, as the individual will not have the required knowledge to determine
proactive risk conditions and take corrective steps to ensure standards are met.
