Software Testing Training in Pondicherry

 

Why Software Testing

Testing tools are easy to learn : If you have no IT experience and willing to enter, you can learn Test Automation Tools from external Testing Institutes. Tools are relatively easy to learn and once you get hands-on, you are ready to use it for any application. There are many online courses as well, that teach you Testing Tools like UFT, SELEIUM which is in demand nowadays. I have a friend who is a BSc graduate and was into the teaching field, learned basic testing concepts from the internet. Joined the reputed Testing Institute in Pune for Selenium where he not only learned the tool but got to work on live projects. With this knowledge, he could find a decent paying job. Kind of 9 to 6 job : I will not say it is always or completely 9 to 6 jobs, but yes comparative to the development you will have little less workload or pressure at least in the designing phase. But again as I said not always because in case of agile testing you will always be in Deliver mode and in some cases you will have client calls for defect triage or requirement understanding. From my personal experience, it is less hectic than Development. (My husband is a Java Developer J ) Good Onsite Opportunities : In many projects, for e.g Banking where testers need to understand requirements thoroughly, need to work closely with Client at the onsite location. Also if some data privacy issues you will get an opportunity to work at the client location. Also in the case of UAT, many clients prefer to work with Testers closely. So in and all you can have a fair amount of chances to work at onsite which most of Indians dream of Can work as Freelancer : Many people don’t want to do a fixed 9 to 6 job but want to work as per their suitable time and location. In that case, you can work as a Freelancer. Many startups or many companies prefer their work done by freelancers. Where they give an assignment,  you as a Test engineer can give estimates of time to get it done and they pay you hourly or depending upon no. of test cases you are going to execute. There are many online sites like Freelancer.com, upwork.com, where you can get Testing projects to work on. Relatively easy to come back after the career gap : If you have worked in testing for some time and gained good experience, you will hardly forget the basics. So if you need to take a break in a career for marriage, kids, or whatsoever reasons, you can easily brush up the things in quite less time and still crack the interview which is mostly theoretical. Or though you are on break, you can read the latest happenings through Testing blogs, Forums and be aware of current trends. Career Shift from Testing to BA is easy : IF you have handsome experience in Testing / QA and feels need to upgrade your skills and profile. Or you are bored with the same job, Business Analyst can also be a very good choice for QAs to shift their career. BA is certainly a high paying job than Manual Tester. If you are willing to change your path and have skills

Business Analyst is indeed a good option.  Types of testing Unit Testing Unit testing is the testing of an individual unit or group of related units. It falls under the class of white box testing.
