Essential Advice

Any One Can Get Into Testing Provided That He/She Must Have Passion Towards Testing!

Degrees that Matter

Certifications Are Just For Knowledge.
Better To Invest Time In Getting Testing Courses Completed Successfully & Hunting Jobs Rather Than Wasting Fresher Period In Gaining Certifications!!!

Required Reading

onestoptesting, softwaretestinghelp, istqb... But Investing Time Beyond Time Is Always Not Advised. Testing Is A Sea. We Can't See Full. Take Whatever Is Required For That Movement And Keep Going Forward! :-)

The Journey So Far

I'm Always Satisfied. Hell Lot Of Responsibilities In Hand. Handled Full QA Activities From End To End Product Testing For Two Products Parallelly. Thanks To My Director In My Previous Company For Choosing Me (One) Out Of 10 Resources, Because Of Recession. I Struggled,But Learned.

Most Important Decisions

Testing Is My In My Mind. No Dual Decisions @ All. Just Confirmed. No Trial & Errors Into Different Fields. I Love Testing. I Hate Programming. I Can't Make Better Software, But I Can Make Software Better.

Current and Previous Responsibilities

Fully Responsible For Total Quality Of The New Features Assigned. What More?

Plans for the Future

I Always Love To Do The Things For What I Never Did. So.. I Keep Admitting Mistakes & Keep Going Forward Learning From Mistakes.

Role Model

Stone/Rock. :-) From Rock I Learnt That, It Has To Undergo So Much Of Pain To Get Into A Proper Shape. Nothing Is Impossible - If Plan Is Properly Planned & Implemented.

Parting thoughts

Hard Work Is The Secret Of Success. Nothing Else.

Areas for the Future

First Manual Testing. Then Manual Testing Teaches Where To Go. Of Course Networking Domain Always Rocks.

Tech trends to watch out for

Just Take Up Certifications In That Particular Domain For Which You've Chosen. Keep Updating Testing Skills.

Currently working at

SSL-VPN Product Testing. (Totally Into Security Domain).

A Fine Balance:

Both Are Equal. Priority Changes As Needed. Either For Work Or For Life.

Points of inflection

Recession. Because Of Recession, I Got More Responsibilities From Where I Learnt.
