Message to buddying QA/Jr QA.

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.

1. android and iOS mobile testing, 2. API testing, 3. web testing. Tools: Appium, Playwright and RestAssured. 4. never say no to Manual testing. Will make you great SDET. 5. Learn how to write test cases, create test plan and share this with stakeholders to get feedback. 6. Take ownership of assigned task, 7. learn about CI/CD and how it’s helping reducing the ship time. 8. Learn about Jira and how to create release. Don’t talk to anyone in DM. Always talk in common group to ship quality products and to make sure everyone is on same page. 9. Create a framework and push your project on GitHub. GitHub profile helped me to get job from US, EU market. This is very important steps. 10. Learn about load testing. Start with jMeter and then switch to K6 using grafana.

For your job search, just follow first three steps. And start coding using Java and JavaScript. For interview, solve string, arrays and B.Tech lab programs religiously.
