Based on your own experience or if you were to make a guess, what would you say is the most popular language for software testers?
Is it based on company or your own preference for what language you use?
June 10, 2016 at 8:12 am #12348I would guess Java. My guess is based on the my friends’ testimonials
My personal preference is Ruby. Is the easiest language to learn, build with and debug which I had my hands onWould be nice to hear some other opinions 🙂
June 12, 2016 at 11:43 pm #12366At work, we use C#, Python and C.
We used Java, Perl and Ruby occasionally.Side note: In this year’s EuroSTAR conference, we have a few programming presentations and tutorials. If we get more replies on the popular languages we can try to include examples from them, as many of the speakers have knowledge in a variety of languages!
June 14, 2016 at 4:13 pm #12397I use C#, powershell, python, batch and vba
June 17, 2016 at 3:31 pm #12455I don’t know about the most popular but I use selenium web driver with C# for web pages and Postman for OData API.
June 21, 2016 at 9:19 am #12483So it looks like C# is the most popular going my the responses here. Funny as you mentioned @andrei-domuta I thought too that Java would be the most popular but the more I read different testing blogs, the more I see Ruby being mentioned.

I was having a look over the Stack Overflow Dev survey and trying to find a link between the dev preferences for the programming language and the testing preference.
http://stackoverflow.com/research/developer-survey-2016#technology-most-popular-technologiesAnd BTW, do you think the testers should use the same language as the dev team? one positive outcome would be the know-how sharing + code review
