A test lead is an IT professional who oversees the process of testing software before moving it to production. As a test lead, your duties are to monitor other testers to ensure proper execution. Beyond acting as a manager, you also act as a second level of control to think critically about the tests. You have more experience and expertise than your supervisees, so you should be better able to determine what functionality of the software may not be covered by the tests. You likely need a bachelor's degree in this career, although for some jobs an associate degree is enough. However, remember that this is not an entry-level job. Regardless of your education, you should gain experience as a software tester and move up in the career field.
