Software Test - QA

Can do istqb certification for starters. Can start with manual QA but need to learn coding in future. Manual QA is diminishing career tbh.

Will keep this short. 
My Friend wasted few years in gov job preparation. Lost all hope, frustrated and depressed, is 29yr old. Hates math, so no programming. 
He's curious about the Test Engineer path, needs some help about how to start and how get an intern level job in a startup.
Will be thankful if QA folks share some insights here.

How to Start as a Test Engineer for a 29 yr old?- Grapevine

I am a software engineer with 3 years of experience .For the first two initial years I was working as a QA in one of the good product companies with a very sorted work life balance .
I had recently switched to a BE role in a startup 
I am very much lagging behind here because of my QA background  ,the people here are very much talented and are great problem solvers .How do I reach that level ?
I have been  struggling to keep up with the pace here and finding it difficult to approach the tasks,even though i have been giving so much of time to work .
And the TL  in my team have a certain amount of expectations and hence they don't help according to that .(which i feel is fair)
How should I approach this  and level up here 
Anyone with a similar background and story please share your experience :) 
Any advice would really help

Hi guys, 

As a fresher I joined CG, where I got trained and have 2 year experience in software testing, but from beginning I had interest in development, I requested many times to manager but no proper response. And now I got laid off.

Currently searching job as a software
 tester, it's been 6 months no proper interview call getting scheduled

I'm very confused should I continue with testing profile or this is the time to upskill and look for dev role

I have enrolled in full stack course too.

Please give me your opinion on should I continue job hunt for testing or start new
Journey as full stack developer?

Thank you

Need referral for QA tester

Test Engineer

I am 24 grad ( btech ) . Joined a company as a intern in 4th year . 9 months they gave training as etl pipeline and sql ( not Interesting but not bad also ). So after internship , I got converted but I then transfered to qa team of a different project. They told That I need to do manual testing for 6 months. I asked the reason , they told that for now they couldn't get approval for a concrete role for me for data engineering. I feel like resigning but I don't have offer . What to do ?

Please guide me to get out of this

manual QA won’t take you far.
A) If you’re fresher from Tier 3 college:

Take elitmus test and apply for QA job. Best time for fresher to get jobs as lots of companies hiring fresher/interns/0-2 YoE guy.

B) starting a career in QA/junior QA:

Learn a language and a tool for each domain like PlayWright/Cypress/Selenium from UI automation, RestAssured/Postman/Karate for API and learn about test planning, jira for test management.  Start with either UI/API not both.
  
And later on keep learning about CI tools like Jenkins/Azure/AWS.   
  
Make yourself visible in common group instead of dev DM.   
  
Communicate to PM/Design/Dev team for feature testing. Get yourself involved in PRD(Google it) stage rather when dev give you build. Make team life easy by identifying friction/bottleneck in team and implement a process and reiterates.  
  
P.S.- Don’t start with codeless automation tool.
  
3.5 LPA to 67 LPA as QA in 7 years as Automation QA.  
  
All the best. 

Feel free to ask questions.

Hey guys,

So i was asking questions to one engineer manager about quality analyst. I asked her how sdet as field in general as i already have 5 years of experience in QA field. Learning side by side coding for a next switch. She said do something else except QA as in her experience, her previous companies do not have QA team itself. So i am little confused as a career path. So wanted to ask how you guys software at your workplace and does sdet role will have significance in this market in future?

How you do QA at work and do your company employ seperate QA team/dev need to do everything

I want to move on from this role as there is no learning at all from a tech point of view and feel like it's a dead end ahead. Any pointers on how I move on? I Have ~3 years of experience in this field. Any help would be much appreciated.

How do I move on from a Software Testing role?

Can you start and end your career in testing? 
What do you think is the future of testing 🤔

Career as QA Analyst.

Welcome to Moving Abroad's Private Community

I'm a Senior QA Engineer with 7.5 yoe in gaming, e-commerce domain. 
I've been severely burnt out due to covid, repetitive work in QA and nothing new or building.
I've been exploring and interested in building products, startups, marketing, design, product roles.
I'm in a crossroad to choose the next role I can focus on. 
What would you do if you were in my place?
I'm also thinking to take IELTS and apply for MBA or some masters in Europe. How well would that workout?

Need a perspective, in a crossroad.

Can anyone help with referral for SDET/ASDET or even testing internship if helps as have 1 YOE still no response through applying.

Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙏

Any testing job or internships?

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Welcome to Data Scientists's Private Community

I am B.tech graduate.. prepared for govt exam, but couldn't make it... now want to start career in data domain, i have learned and develop skills like sql, python,ML algo available on internet... just need a chance to prove my ability and also guidance where i am lacking. 
Will any startup give me chance to learn

Need a chance

30M here and currently working as a QA. My current ctc is 14LPA(6Y.O.E). Currently I'm on bench and looking out for projects. Parallelly I'm also looking outside, incase I don't get any projects in my current company. 

The problem  here is I'm not very good at writing programs(Or atleast that's what I think) and constantly face issues in programming questions in interviews. I have always been an A+ student, scoring in 90's throughout academics(Scored 100 in chem and phy in 12th). But never been able to clear programming interviews. This is affecting my self-confidence and I keep getting self doubts(One of my senior in my first company told me that, I'm good at theoretical concepts and I fail when it comes to the application of said concepts).

Now I'm into automation testing and as I was looking to switch, I kept seeing multiple openings for Mobile Development(Development in general, be it backend/front-end/full stack etc). The below reasons made me thinking as to why not switch to development:
1. My current CTC is low for my exp and testing usually don't have much openings
2. Testers don't have much respect in the Industry(Even from people working along with us)
3. Not much scope to earn more from testing field

My current thoughts:
1. Enroll into a Java course from any offline institute and learn Java thoroughly first.
2. Switch to a good company with decent pay
3. Invest time for 1-2 years and learn development and then try for some startups.

Any advice to my thoughts? Am I thinking in the right direction?
And also, if anyone who has done this transition(Or similar transition) could shed some light on how you did it and what difficulties you faced, I would greatly appreciate it.
