Q: Why should I use static testing techniques? (Cont'd...)
About half of the bugs, detectable by dynamic testing, can be detected earlier by static testing.
If you use neither static nor dynamic test tools, the static tools offer greater marginal benefits.
If urgent deadlines loom on the horizon, the use of dynamic testing tools can be omitted, but tool-supported static testing should never be omitted.
Q: How can I get registered and licensed as a professional engineer?
A: To get registered and licensed as a professional engineer, generally you have to be a legal resident of the jurisdiction where you submit your application.
You also have to be at least 18 years of age, trustworthy, with no criminal record. You also have to have a minimum of a bachelor's degree in engineering, from an established, recognized, and approved university.
Usually you have to provide two references, from licensed and professional engineers, and work for a few years as an engineer, as an "engineer in training", under the supervision of a registered and licensed professional engineer. You have to pass a test of competence in your engineering discipline as well as in professional ethics.
For many candidates, the biggest two hurdles of getting a license seem to be the lack of a university degree in engineering, or the lack of an acceptable, verifiable work experience, under the supervision of a licensed, professional engineer.
