What does the role involve and what could you be doing?

A software tester is responsible for ensuring that the product applications and systems work correctly. Without testing, your favourite apps wouldn’t work on your mobile, a car would not be safe to drive, a computer game would be full of glitches and everything would be unpredictable and insecure. For this reason, businesses recognise the importance of testing, and the testing of software has never been more important.

At Passle each and every one of us is responsible for understanding our product intimately, and you’ll start by getting to know our product and all its features.
