Welcome Note..!

Hi,

I have been in dilemma since the day I joined my company. And dilemma was about the work I was going to do for probably rest of my IT life. Being a fresher, you do not have a say when it comes about your domain. I was given Software Testing Domain which I hated. The obvious reason was I wanted to design some cool apps but not test them. How boring??

But It did not take longer for me to realize the fact that Testing is much more difficult and appealing than Development.

You get to learn a lot in software testing . Believe me, It is really a lot. But at the same time, when it comes to attend an interview, I am tellin you…. very high probability that you screw it. I screwed up, too.

Mostly, you are asked for your theretical knowledge which I believe, most of young minds never give any consideration after graduation. I agree to the fact that to support good practical knowledge,one should have sound knowledge about what is testing all about BUT What is more important? whether one is able to test an application at all or If one knows what is the difference between sanity and smoke testing?

Here is a link to what Mr. Pradeep Soundararajan (Test Consultant, Coach, Author, Speaker and Mentor) has to say about “Testing Interview in India”

I am a professional Software Test Engineer and looking forward to servere this internet world with some good write-ups on testing…..Practical but not the theretical one.

Drop me a comment incase of any query and I will surely get back to you.
