They must have a degree from an accredited institution before they can begin practicing, and part of earning the degree is operating on cadavers, so, yes.
> Do Accountants need to complete a test audit?
In order to be a Certified Public Account in the US, you must pass the Uniform Certified Public Accountant Examination, which has a section on auditing and has "task-based simulations", which are:
"CPA Task-Based Simulations are scenario-based questions on the CPA Exam. They are a large part of what makes the CPA Exam so difficult. Each one will introduce a situation, provide data in the form of charts, memos, and emails, and require you to answer a series of questions."
So, I think yes?
> Do Lawyers perform a mock trial?
In order to be a lawyer in the US, you generally need to pass a state's bar examination. Most of those include "performance tests" which require the testee to simulate part of the job of being a lawyer. I don't know think mock trials are part of that, but writing a legal brief or doing other typical lawyer work is.
My understanding is that going to trial is a small fraction of what most lawyers do and lawyers going in that direction will gain that experience as junior members of a law firm.
You know what I meant. You have merely created a series of strawmen. They don't need to perform a trial surgery every time they interview for a new job. The same goes for all my examples so nice try.
Yes, a surgeon doesn't need to perform traial surgeries every time they change jobs. But, also, they only work inside certified, heavily-regulated institutations that are able to vouch for their previous performance.
No such institutions exist for software engineering.
