In recent days this is the most asked question to me by readers. How to get software testing job? How to come in software testing field? or Can I get job in testing?
All these questions are similar and I want to give also similar answer for this. I have written post on choosing software testing as your career where you can analyze your abilities and know which are the most important skills required for software testing.
I will continue mentioning that “know your interest before going into any career field”. Just going to software testing career or any other hot career is wrong and which may result into loss of your job interest as well as your job.
Now you know your abilities, skills, interests right? and you have made decision to go for software testing career as it is your favorite career and you suit most in this career. So here is a guideline for how to get a good job in software testing field.
If you are a fresher and just passed out from your college or passing out in coming months then you need to prepare well for some software testing methodologies. Prepare all the manual testing concepts. If possible have some hands-on on some automation and bug tracking tools like winrunner and test director. It is always a good idea to join any software testing institute or class which will provide you a good start and direction of preparation. You can join any 4 months duration software testing course or can do diploma in software testing which is typically of 6 months to 1 year. Keep the preparation going on in your course duration. This will help you to start giving interviews right after getting over your course.
If you have some sort of previous IT experience and want to switch to software testing then it’s somewhat simple for you. Show your previous IT experience in your resume while applying for software testing jobs. If possible do some crash course to get idea of software testing concepts like I mentioned for freshers above. Keep in mind that you have some kind of IT experience so be prepared for some tough interview questions here.
As companies always prefer some kind of relevant experience for any software job, its better if you have relevant experience in software testing and QA. It may be any kind of software testing tools hands-on or some testing course from reputed institutes.
Please always keep in mind- Do not add fake experience of any kind. This can ruin your career forever. Wait and try for some more days to get the job by your abilities instead of getting into trap of fake experience.
Last important words, Software testing is not ‘anyone can do career!’ Remove this attitude from your mind if someone has told such kind of foolish thing to you. Testing requires in depth knowledge of SDLF, out of box thinking, analytical skill and some programming language skill apart from software testing basics.
So best luck and start preparation for your rocking career! I will continue writing this career series and what you actually need to prepare for software testing interview.

[…] nothing simple in this world. You must achieve what you want with your own strengths! Head to post “How to get job in software testing” where I shared some more practical tips on switching to testing career. If you feel your question […]
Vijay, Definitely a good guide. I am going to switch to software testing. I have 2 years exp in electronics field. How can I prepare resume?
@ Nikhil- you can mention whatever experience you have in your Electronics career. If you have done any professional testing class then its worth to mention it in your resume. Any IT background or project related to IT will be added advantage.
Prepare the things well mentioned in your resume.
hi vijay
i have got 1 yr experience of manual testing , Since this is my first job, according to you how long should i stay this company and which testing cerification should i go for ISQTB or CSTE .
I am really shocked by Sobin’s first question! Sobin there is no rule that you should leave the company after 1 year for your first job. This is completely wrong thinking.
You should first concentrate on learning the things and of course you should think of switch if there is really any problem with your current employer. Long career with one company is not bad at all. Remove this thought first from your mind.
Your 2nd question, As far as your exp. you should go for CSTE.

@ sridevi
I understand how eager you are getting into job. I will suggest one thing to you, first build confidence in you. For this you should be clear on technical topics in testing. You mentioned your work on Manual testing and QTP so be clear what you speak in front of interviewer on these topics. Identify weak points both technical and verbal (if any) and try to improve on those points.

Hi vijay!
I am basically a engineer from the construction industry.Now i want to change my field.I have 4 yrs exp.in Project management ( CAD,MSP & Primavera).Can u suggest me a suitable area(s/w) where i can get into.
Hi Vijay,
I have done Diploma in Comp (PolyTech.) as well as BCA (61% Agg.). Post my Diploma I Joined IBM-Daksh(call centre) and was working there till last month as SME for an ISP Process then I left the job in persue of career in Testing field. I did 3 months of certification course as well from DUCAT Noida now my question is that IS it a good move to relocate myself to Banglore or PUNE for the better job prospects or should I stay in my home town(Delhi).
I am in a dellima so please reply soon to this post.
Thanks a lot in advance
Jatin Khurana
@ Manjunath - Show whatever previous experience you have. Be specific about your experience and don’t fake any testing experience.
@ Poonam - If you are interested in some basic scripting then go for scripting languages like TSL, VB, Perl or Java.. Otherwise you can continue your Manual testing career. Even its good if you get some insight of some programming languages to better test your application.
@Sowmya - I don’t know why you want to change your career, as you now have 4+ yrs exp in construction field. If you still think its good move for you then find out companies which are dealing with some construction projects and having a strong backbone of IT processes to implement it. Then your domain knowledge will be very useful for you.
@ Jatin - Its depend on you where you want to stay and make career. If you are interested in software testing and have got enough knowledge of testing then you can easily get the job in testing anywhere. In case of any good opportunity in Bangalore or Pune you can consider to go for it. See the article - http://www.softwaretestinghelp.....ur-career/

Hi Frnds,

This site is wonderful for the people those want to enter in Testing field.
Thanks
Lakshmi
S/w Test Engg.
Is there any body to give answer for my questions? Explain briefly about STLC? Is tester work starts after coding only?
Hi Frnd,
Learning Testing is really a matter of 2 days. But you have to learn about Projects also to gain some real time experience. If u hve any doubts u can contact me in johnsumanth@infonovum.com
HI friends,
Iam having 1 yr exp in manual testing and its my first job.Currently iam in bangalore.
I dont want to stay more than 1 yr in the same company since i have no growth prospects in terms of salary or designation..
What do you think i should do?
PLease help me with ur suggestions..
Also please suggest me some companies i should look for ..
HI frnds,
If any one are intrested to get job in software testing or want to learn about projects,Software Testing, Consultancies who r recruiting as contract employees for MNCS and Resume preparation. Every thing is with in 2 days from real time expert from chennai
The main thing for the guys who are attending intvs by keeping some exp. Please dont take exp certificates from Hyderabad. As many are in Black list and more over if u r searching in Chennai, take exp from Bangalore.
Hi Vijay,
Nice question.
See the easiest way to enter in to software field is only with testing. If you have good communication skills its more than enough to get a job in testing. If you sit with real time expert for 1 day you can learn ever thing what u have to work there.And one more thing before 4 years very very few guys r there in testing field that too in big companies. Companies hve to show to clients that they have 20 members who have 3+ yrs of testing to get projects. The guys who interview will see whether u can work or not in the projects and basic concepts.ok
Hi,
Here I observed, most of the readers are concerned about the fake experience. Whether to put fake experience or not? Some are saying that they are in such a situation that they don’t have other option than putting fake experience.
To those who want to put fake experience I will ask a question, How you are going to answer those experience level questions without having actual work experience in that field? Most of the testers or beginners fail to clear the interviews because they simply don’t have that much domain knowledge and they have shown the false experience.
If you have in such a situation simply put your genuine experience and let interviewer know your skill level. In such cases chances are high that you will clear the interview.
In your resume you can mention the testing tools you are aware of or worked on, testing concepts like having good knowledge of Performance testing, installation testing, black box testing. This will emphasize on your ability to work on those fields.
If you worked previously on system administration, Network support or any tech field you have good domain knowledge of that field then instead of putting fake experience mention this experience, which will be more helpful where companies are looking for specific domain expertise. If you worked in Mechanical or electronics industries list out the opportunities in testing in companies dealing with your domain experience and apply for such openings.
Hi Sumanth,

I have gone through all the comments above and noticed that most of them have done a course from some where and now looking for a job or break from one to this testing field. It is little difficult to suggest or comment anything upfront since learning testing is one part and practicing the same of working on some projects is another which is more important than learning. Until you get an exposure on the process it becomes little tricky then, at the same time along with learning Testing (Manual or Automation) you also need to have hands on SDLC related development tools, database SQL or any other which also becomes the essential part of testers profile.
At the industry level currently the trend is that the one having any functional domain knowledge may be banking, Hr, sales etc are more preferred even game players have an option to convert their PC game skills into profession.
Testing being more subject driven there is good scope for professional and definitely there is a room to get accommodated but some one asking for 100% job after doing the testing course from any institute for that matter would be a difficult question to answer.
Also those who are looking for an assignment away from coding but to be more into ANALYTICAL kind of profile testing is the best field mainly on BA assignment.
Happy Testing!!

Hi,
Thanks for replying to my query.What are the basic skills needed for me to start my career in testing field.
HI Ganesh
please note that for a tester what is mainly needed is
“Software testing is not ‘anyone can do career!’ Remove this attitude from your mind if someone has told such kind of foolish thing to you. Testing requires in depth knowledge of SDLF, out of box thinking, analytical skill and some programming language skill apart from software testing basics.”
So you need to opt for a course that should cover MANUAL & AUTOMATED TESTING TOOLS, PROJECTS for hands on practice, may be real time not needed to be specifically live project. And any one domain knowledge which is a strength of tester.
Jayant
Hi Swamini

please contact me if u have any details on the above.
Hi
I refer to few comments above regarding the career course in Software Testing that you wish to undergo as first towards career in testing.
Ideally you should chose the course curriculum which should focus on Manual testing and Any GUI tool need not include a long list of all automated tools that ae higher end neither those that are used for Unit testing (my suggestions).
Also check that whether the curriculum includes any sort of hands on project to have better understanding and hands on.
Jayant

Hi PVRAMANI (sry don’t knw you NAME)…
Well for this field you require some knowledge about programing. You need some basic knowledge about programming like C, C++, etc. I suggest you to with testing course you join the C program. Most of the institute take the basic programming language in the curriculum. Its better if you retrieve information from you institute. They will much help you.
Well any help regarding testing just mail me :

Dear Vijay
I have been working in Indian IT major as QC since 3 years. Recently I had completed CSTE with impressive %. So far I don’t have any working knowledge in testing tools expect manual testing. Now I am skeptical about the career in testing with just an CSTE certification without any automated tools. Here in USA there are good chances with just an CSTE even. But I wanna know in India about the market demand for CSTEer’s. Is there any great demand to CSTE’s without any tools experiance? If yes, please let me know, which are the firms are encouraging such requirements.
And also, I could fine any openions/posts about certification in testing. If you can give more info about value of certification, that would be great help and we all are thankful to you.
Thanks in advance for your guidence.
