Changes in the industry
Initially Testing/QA means mannual testing. But now we are doing automated testing. In web developemnt technology(RoR), we have Rspec Testing framework for Unit and Functional Testing and Cucumber for Integration testing. Once test coverage was executed without failure,then our app is 100% bug free
Degrees that Matter
I don't have any certifications in QA/Testing domain.
Role Model
Sourav Ganguly is my role model. He has strong potential to take a challenge and commit that work. He has great leadership quality. He created own destiny and travelled successfully. He has shown to youngsters that you have the potential to take a challenge and win.
Areas for the Future
