Thanks for stopping by! You are in right place in right time to learn and excel in software testing. After graduation when I got my first job as software tester, everyone asked same question “What? testing? It has no scope in future. Buddy listen to me, do not take this job”.
But it was an ambition to me to get into a job in my dream company. Now it has been more than 8 years in testing arena. I am happy with my current roles and responsibilities.
What is Quality Assurance or Software Testing?
Quality Assurance is playing pivotal role in any organization growth and sustainability. We, QA engineers are the pillars of it. Each and every product must go through QA process before it hits the market. From hair pin to sandals, from telephones to tablets, from pen to clothes, each and every thing, must face QA process.
For example, you need a pen, what you do is, go to the shop, ask for a pen, and you grab a notepad and write your name or scribble it. You are just writing or scribbling, you are testing it. Whether the pen met your requirements or not. Read my below article on Learn Testing from Pen.
That is the importance of software testing. If any one of the requirement is not met, definitely you think again or switch it to the other product.
