Hello,

It will be very helpful if someone could throw some light on this.

Thanks in advance.

2283 seems closest. its not really the title as much as the roles and responsibilities that you will be able to prove with documentation

Hello Everyone,

I am Test engineering manager and used noc = 2173 as it closely matched my past and current experience. It worked fine for me. But yes, whatever code you mention your experience letters must cover the associated roles and responsibilities.

Thanks.

Hi mapleleaf987,

I have bachelor and masters degree in Computer Science and feeling a little uncomfortable to apply under 2283 as the title is technician. Will it have any impact on my application if I apply under 2283 instead of 2173?

Also, is it possible for you to share your roles and responsibilities here?

Looks quite like my experience too. I use Visual Studio a lot for Automated testing, so I would be interested to know for future reference.

russ6970 - I have decided to go with 2173 based on my research online. 2283 is plain vanilla testing without employing any specialized technical skills like automation testing and complex testing techniques and procedures.

In fact, I have bachelors and masters degrees to back it up.
