This is a grey area at the moment it seems. ACS recently started a system where they deduct some years from your work experience. Immigration has not yet officially stated anything about this to the best of my knowledge.

It seems that some case officers deduct the years as ACS recommends and some do not.

So it is difficult to say for sure.

Thanks AncientGlory!!

In any case, can I claim 5 points for my professional exp instead of 10? Am I likely to get atleast 5 points or 0 for my experience? Also should I wait for the completion of 3 yrs in the role of Software tester before applying for ACS?

Thank you...

I believe ACS reviews your experience with respect to the Job code you raise ACS assessment request. There can be two possibilities here :

1. You apply for ACS with Job code 261314 (software tester), ACS only deducts 2 years of experience and for rest of experience you can claim points.

2. ACS deducts your whole experience as Support Engineer because roles does not match with job code 261314 and considers exp only as Software tester. I think this is going to happen

So in either case will I get 5 points (atleast) for my experience ?

This will depend on your qualifications. If you have a bachelors degree with ICT major, then 2 years will be deducted. If you don't have a bachelors degree/diploma 8 years will be deducted etc.

Criteria is given in the following link.

I agree with Ratesh here with what he said and this is likely the case in your situation:
