Environmental Testing and Mechanical Testing represent specialized variants that focus on specific aspects of system behavior.

Typical tasks include creating test cases, performing manual and automated tests, and documenting errors and their resolution. Professionals frequently work with Test Design methods and Performance Testing to verify both functional and non-functional requirements.

Methodology: We count IT postings of the last 90 days that mention System Testing. Projects posted several times that are detected as duplicates count once; postings without an assignable IT category are missing, so the figures are a lower bound. The trend compares the share of all IT postings with the 90 days before and only appears with enough comparison data. We do not show figures based on fewer than 30 data points. The rating “must have” or “nice to have” comes from an AI analysis of the posting texts. Distributions only refer to postings that state the respective attribute; we state the coverage alongside. Recruiters are the posters of the listing according to the source, only above a minimum number of postings. The description of the skill is created automatically (from our skill directory or by AI) and checked by machine: no numbers, no company names, only the skill and its neighbours in the taxonomy. Texts are created and checked automatically, numbers come from the postings.
