Why do you want to do a testing job?
This is probably the most common question across all testing
interviews. You should have a clear answer as to why you
plan to pursue a career in this field.
If you are a computer science engineer, why did you not
choose software development? If you are from some other
streams, why not look for a job in your field of study?
People who are passionate about this field and would love to
grow as a quality tester often end up getting the best jobs out
there. Anyone can be trained. But only the people with real
interest in this field can make a name for themselves.

JOB : HAVE
THE RIGHT SKILLS REQUIRED FOR
THE JOB
•
As a software tester, you’d be spending most of the time trying to
“break” the software. You should have excellent aptitude skills
coupled with knowledge of testing methodologies and tools.
•
As a fresher, most of the time, you would not have exposure to any
test cases. In such cases, you could join a training institute that offers
hands on testing training. You could also take up some freelance
work to improve your experience.
•
Nowadays most job openings require you to have some certifications.
This is made mandatory by most companies so that the candidate
can be productive from day 1 and no amount of time or money need
to be spent on training the candidates on the basics.
•
If you are serious about testing career, you could go for certifications
like ISTQB which will enhance your value in the job market.

3 SOFTWARE TESTING JOB : CHOOSE
YOUR NICHE
Have you heard the saying “Jack of all trades but
master of none”? Well, these days, especially in IT
field, you need to specialize and not generalize. A
specialist is always preferred over a generalist by
most companies (Although it’s not a good idea to
choose specialists as they have limited scope, most
HR’s find the easy way out to fill up the position
fast).
Some of the popular testing niches you can choose
are

SOFTWARE TESTING JOB : CHOOSE
YOUR NICHE

Some of the popular testing niches you can choose are
Manual testing: In this method, a tester takes on the role of
the end user- one who will be using the software product. It’s
a tedious process by which the tester has to use all of the
software features to find bugs. In most cases, testers perform
these tests based on an already laid out plan
Automation testing: Using this mode of testing, a tester can
evaluate software by writing scripts that automate the tasks.
No need of manually doing everything which saves a lot of
time. This is often the most cost-effective way of testing a
software over the long term
Performance testing: In this method of testing, software is
tested against a specific workload. Some of the metrics that
would be evaluated are responsiveness, maximum load
capacity and so on.

3 SOFTWARE TESTING JOB : CHOOSE
YOUR NICHE
•
Similar to software development, software testing is
a vast field. So you should focus on one area of
testing. This will make you a hot property in the job
market. Even though you should specialize in one
area, you should also try to be familiar with other
areas. You must also be flexible enough to shift to
another track if required.

4 SOFTWARE TESTING JOB : BUST
ALL MYTHS
•
Sadly, the industry and students have a lot of misconceptions about software
testing jobs.
•
Some of the myths still prevailing are
•
Software testing is a simple job. So anyone can do it:
•
Although it’s not rocket science, testing still requires a lot of work and intellect
from the part of the tester. So don’t think this is a walk in the park type of job
and jump into it.
•
Testing is a second tier job compared to development:
•
We had one student apply for a job who supposedly thought that she was
entitled to a testing job since she had already worked as a software
developer.

4 SOFTWARE TESTING JOB : BUST ALL
MYTHS
•
•
•
•
Her argument was that since testing is inferior to
development, and she cracked development interview and
worked on a project or two, she was entitled to a job as a
tester without an interview.
Well, we have news for you. It isn’t the case! Software testing
is just as important and valued as software development. So
experience in one domain doesn’t necessarily entitle you to a
free pass to another.
Automation testing means clicking a few buttons and the
software will do it for you.
While it can be true for some existing test cases, most of the
time you’d have to create the script for automation testing. So
don’t think that it will be easy and since you don’t know/hate
programming, it’s the perfect opportunity for you.

11. 5 SOFTWARE TESTINGSoftware testing Jobs Projects & Training
JOB : WRITE
A PERFECT COVER LETTER
AND RESUME
•
How many times have you applied to a set of jobs at a stretch using
the same resume and not even thinking about including a cover
letter?
•
If you are like most people applying for a job, you reply should be
“most of the time” or “always”.
•
We receive several resumes each day from candidates who simply
attach their fresher resume and blindly apply to just about any job
they can without even reading the titles. Do you really think a
recruiter will take the pain to evaluate you after such an attempt?
•
Always customize your resume and make sure that you include a
custom cover letter with each application. Instead of trying to apply to
50 different employers at a stretch, apply to just a few relevant ones.
•
You’ll drastically improve your chances of hearing back from the
employer.

WHAT YOU SHOULD LEARN
SOFTWARE TESTING ?
•
The following advice should help clarify your thinking about software
testing and help you improve the effectiveness and efficiency of your
testing. It is helpful to think about software testing in terms of five
essential elements:
•
A test strategy that tells you what types of testing and the amount of
testing you think will work best at finding the defects that are lurking
in the software
•
A testing plan of the actual testing tasks you will need to execute to
carry out that strategy
•
Test cases that have been prepared in advance in the form of
detailed examples you will use to check that the software will actually
meet its requirements
•
Test data consisting of both input test data and database test data to
use while you are executing your test cases, and
•
A test environment which you will use to carry out your testing.

SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT LIFE
CYCLE [SDLC]
•
Software Development Life Cycle, or Software Development
Process, defines the steps/stages/phases in the building of software.
•
There are various kinds of software development models like:
•
Waterfall model
•
Spiral model
•
Iterative and incremental development (like ‘Unified Process’ and
‘Rational Unified Process’)
•
Agile development (like ‘Extreme Programming’ and ‘Scrum’)
•
Models are evolving with time and the development life cycle can
vary significantly from one model to the other. It is beyond the scope
of this particular article to discuss each model. However, each model
comprises of all or some of the following phases/activities/tasks.
