Sasken Technologies has an open position for an Engineer in Software Test and Release in Bengaluru, and the listing asks for 0 to 2 years of experience. If you are looking for Sasken software test engineer jobs in Bengaluru, especially at an early career level, this page explains what the posting actually says, what the role probably looks like, and how to prepare for it. For more entry level and testing roles, the Hirecept WhatsApp jobs channel posts openings every day.
A word on how much the posting tells us. The employer's description is short. It gives a title (Engineer, Software Test and Release), a job number (20221077), a location (Bengaluru, Karnataka, India), an experience band of 0 to 2 years, and an education line: engineering graduate, MCA and similar. It does not list a salary, a tech stack, a shift or a last date. Everything below the facts is labelled as an expectation or advice so you can separate what Sasken wrote from what we think is likely.
Sasken Engineer, Software Test and Release: role overview
The posting describes the position at a general level. The person in this role is able to apply broad knowledge of their technical discipline, or advanced knowledge of specific technical practices. They identify problems in existing systems and modify them by following defined work procedures. It is described as an operationally oriented role responsible for day to day defined tasks.
That wording tells us two useful things. First, you are not expected to design a new test strategy alone. You follow defined procedures, which suits someone early in their career. Second, the work is operational: regular, scheduled tasks that need to be done reliably, rather than open ended research.
The responsibilities listed are:
- Design, coding, testing, bug fixing, documentation and technical support in the assigned area, with on time delivery that meets quality and productivity goals.
- Following guidelines and checklists for all deliverable reviews, sending status reports to the team lead and following relevant organizational processes.
- Improving technical capabilities by attending trainings, doing self study and taking periodic technical assessments.
What the role likely involves day to day
The job title combines testing and release, so the daily mix probably includes both sides. The following is an inference based on the title and standard practice in software teams, not a statement from Sasken:
- Testing. Running test cases, logging defects, retesting fixes and maintaining test documentation. The posting mentions testing, bug fixing and documentation explicitly.
- Release work. Preparing builds, checking that a build passes agreed checks, and helping package and hand over a release. Release engineers often work with version control, build tools and checklists.
- Reporting. The listing says you send status reports to a team lead, so expect regular updates on what you tested and what is blocked.
- Reviews. You follow guidelines and checklists for deliverable reviews, which suggests structured, process driven work.
- Learning on the job. Trainings and periodic technical assessments are part of the role, so your skills are measured over time.
If you like order, clear procedures and the satisfaction of catching a defect before a customer does, this kind of work can be a steady way to grow.
Eligibility for the Sasken test and release role
The posting says: engineering graduate, MCA, etc. with 0 to 2 years of experience. That means freshers and people with up to two years of work experience are in the target range. It does not name a branch, a graduation year or a minimum percentage, so check the application form for any filter.
The listing does not name a tech stack. Because of that, no skill can be called required from the employer's side. A sensible candidate profile, again an inference, would include:
- Basic programming in a language such as Python, Java or C, since the posting mentions coding.
- Understanding of the software testing life cycle: test planning, test cases, defect reporting and retesting.
- Familiarity with manual and basic automated testing concepts.
- Comfort with Linux or Windows command line and a version control tool like Git.
- Clear written English for status reports and defect descriptions.
Who this job suits
This role suits a graduate who wants a first job in a software company and prefers structured work. Testing and release is a good entry point if you want to understand how products move from code to customers, and it can open paths towards automation, DevOps or product quality roles later. These paths are possibilities, not promises from the posting.
It is a weaker fit if you want to spend all day writing new features, or if you want a fully remote job. The posting names Bengaluru and does not mention remote work. If remote roles are your priority, the Hirecept remote jobs channel is the better place to look.
How to stand out for the Sasken testing role
Practical suggestions based on what the posting asks for:
- Show testing thinking in your projects. For any project on your resume, add two or three lines on how you tested it: test cases, edge cases, bugs you found and how you reproduced them.
- Learn a bug report format. Be ready to write a defect with steps, expected result, actual result and severity. Interviewers like candidates who can describe a bug clearly in one minute.
- Know the basics of build and release. Practise the Git workflow of branching, merging and tagging, and learn what a build pipeline does. A small project that builds and tests automatically on every push is easy to make and easy to talk about.
- Revise coding fundamentals. The listing includes coding, so expect simple programming questions, string and array problems, and maybe SQL basics. Python scripting for test automation is a strong talking point.
- Prepare for assessments. The posting says periodic technical assessments are part of the job, so a written or online test during hiring would not be surprising. Practise aptitude and basic technical MCQs.
- Be ready to explain process discipline. Give an example of following a checklist or a review process, and what happened when you skipped a step.
