There is no such role model,I always take a note on positive points of others(anyone) and try my best to implement in me.To be very specific Captain Gopinath's auto biography inspires me a lot.

Essential Advice

In my short career I have met very few people who are tester by choice .Most of people joins testing because they feel testing is very easy job. I belief testing is not as easy as people think about it.First skill is required is "questioning" next "analyzing" and "attention to detail".

Areas for the Future

"Automation" & "Performance Testing ".
