We live in a world where women are underrepresented in STEM.
Where STEM is a male dominated field leaving women 45% more likely to leave the tech field than men. 
Where women make up half of the total U.S. college-educated workforce, but only 28% of the science and engineering workforce.
Where only 25.5% of computer and mathematical occupations were represented by women in 2017.

And In this kind of social climate, it’s easy to grow up thinking that women don’t get involved in tech, or science or medicine or engineering, because who among us really has?
Ada Lovelace, known as the creator of the first ever computer program, greatly influenced Alan Turing’s work in 1940’s on the first legit computers by publishing her own notes on prototype- notes that included a specific algorithm that, using punch cards, could likely teach the engine how to calculate a specific sequence of signed rational numbers known as the Bernoulli numbers. 
So it is obvious that there is nothing in our biology that would prevent us from coding and we even pioneered the coding field in the first place.

Then why don’t (most) women code?

The main reason why most women don’t code can be seen as a pipeline problem. The solutions would be proposed as creating equal learning opportunities in STEM and increasing the female representation in Tech. Many organizations such as Girls Who Code, RailsBridge, TechGirlz and others are working towards these solutions. However, the problem is more complex than that.

Information and communications technology field is largely dominated by men and enrollments of females in ICT programs are way below compared with men. 
Research done at Harvard shows that even when women get employed in ICT, they don’t stay there for a long period of time. Women want to code and they certainly can. On the other hand, they do not want to face sexism or misogyny in the workplace.

Four years ago on March 18th, there was a very interesting and popular article on newspapers with a title “ Microsoft threw a party at a local club that featured half-naked dancing girls on raised platforms.” Just hours after hosting its annual “Women in Gaming” luncheon at the 2016 Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, Microsoft threw a very controversial  party at a local club which highlights that even companies that have worked to support women in tech still lose their way sometimes.

So What Actions Can We Take to Change the Game?
We can start by researching and changing our perspective about the women in STEM fields. We can then work towards creating solutions that will encourage more female engagement in both education and workforce. We can also contribute towards encouraging female representation in STEM. Enrolling into coding programs and bootcamps to educate ourselves could be a good step too. 

What do they say? 

Let’s be the change we want to see.

Software quality assurance is one of the most critical parts of software development whether you’re developing an application or an end-to-end system. 

Manual Vs. Automation Testing
Manual testing is a method used by software developers to run tests manually whereas the method takes automation tool support to execute the test cases known as Automation Testing. Automated testing is usually good for large and detailed projects.

What is Automation Testing?
Automation testing is known as the process of using a computer program to execute systems or user transactions against an IT system.Automated testing tools are capable of executing tests, reporting outcomes and comparing results with earlier test runs. 
Why Use an Automating Testing?
When a software tester manually checks a system, she can make a mistake, especially when an application contains hundreds to thousands of lines of code. Automation helps the QA team avoid these human errors in application testing and executes checks in a faster time frame than if it were done in person.

 What are Some Automation Tools?
Open source test automation tools and frameworks include Selenium, Robotium and Cypress. Selenium can automate and run test parameters across multiple web browsers and in various programming languages -- such as C#, Java and Python.

Software QA Engineering Jobs Outlook & Trends
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Software QA Engineering Jobs are growing very rapidly with an estimation of 100,000 new positions set to be created through 2022. Companies’ demand for skilled QA engineers are growing and they are taking their positions as an integral part of any software development platform.

Our World is Changing, Be a Part of the Change!

Technology has the power to do many things, and changing the world is one of them. This ever-evolving technology’s immense impact on our lives is undeniable; however, we might be underestimating the speed of this change and how soon it will all affect our daily lives permanently.


One study at Oxford University found that more than half of all jobs will disappear in the next ten years.

![chart2](http://157.245.241.178/uploads/Ekran_Resmi_2020_07_29_21_33_18_4a2398ef21.png)

47 percent of US jobs are not doomed to completely disappear, while a high percentage of them will be redefined. Redefinement will bring a need to retraining of the employees and they will go through an adjustment period to gain the skills they need in order to be qualified to work with the needed technology. This process is also estimated to eliminate many people from the workforce.

By 2030, nearly half of today’s jobs will either be automated or outsourced while about 25% of today’s workforce will lose their jobs to robots and algorithms in the next 15 years.

It doesn’t matter whether you’re a teacher, financial advisor or a professional piano-player: automation is coming for you. Professor Richard Susskind, author of The Future of the Professions and Tomorrow’s Lawyers, stresses the unavoidable future reality of the workforce:  “What you’re going to see for a lot of jobs is a churn of different tasks,” he explains. “So, a lawyer today doesn’t develop systems that offer advice, but the lawyer of 2025 will. They’ll still be called lawyers but they’ll be doing different things.”

So What Can We Do to Adapt?

We can’t change the fact that technology will completely turn the workforce upside-down. What we can change is what we decide to study and get training for. Other than choosing to put time and effort into professions that are estimated to disappear in the next ten years, we can choose professions that will work towards developing this change. We can first start by learning how to speak the language of the future.

Coding: The Language of The Future

Code is the language of the modern world. Whether it’s the app that brings emails to a mobile or the car that knows how many miles to go until refuelling, any smart device needs code i​nstructions to tell it how to operate and communicate with the outside world. Just like English, code will be the dominant language of the future, and starting to explore this language will make us part of the change. Following the latest news and trends, learning at least one coding language, enrolling into technology related bootcamps and programs, or taking a STEM related class carry us one step closer to the future. Our world is constantly developing. 

So why not be a part of this change?
