Apart from these I also have some knowledge in some Open source tool like WET. Kindly guide me, what is the future ahead of those who knows SilkTest and SilkPerfomer testing tool. So far I have only 1 yr of experience

    @Arun
    Yes Arun, The network testing guide from testing point of view is on my post agenda. As you know previously I have posted articles series on “Soft skill for software testers” including communication skill improvements.

    Knowledge of Operating systems, Databases like SQL is must for many domains.

    @Prashant
    As always said by me, you should not worry about future of any domain. If you have passion for doing anything (say software testing) you will survive in any storm ( like recession ;-)

    If you know/like SilkTest then be the expert in it!

    Iam working as Manual tester i would like to know more on Manual as well as on automation testing also.

    #7 Suhas M on 10.07.08 at 7:17 am

    @Prashant
    When you work on any automation tool try to be expert in it, try to understand the concept how it works - be it functional testing tool, performance testing tool. Once you knoe you are good at working on one tool, you can easily get adapted to any other tool.

    Regards, Suhas M.

    hi,
    I am into manual testing, its 3+ yrs now but seeing the market situation and demand it has become necessity to have automation knowledge as well. So do you think learning loadrunner is sufficient or do i also have to learn qtp? There is no automation work happen in my current company. In that situation, how feasible it would be to lean loadrunner?

    @ Amit,

    “I also do some QA activities like writing Test cases. Testing and QA are different activities.”

    This is strange, Amit would you tell what according to you is QA activity and how its different from testing?

    hi, I am in manual web application testing. especially on functionarity testing.
    I also engage in learning automation testing knowledges. I think it will help me doing software testing better.

    #40 Sirisha on 11.06.08 at 10:52 pm

    Respected seniors, Vijay plz. answer me.

    How to answer - “what METRICS do you use? How many types of metrics are there?” It’s a most imp question in interviews. As far as i know, different metrics are–Defect Density, Defect Leakage, Traceability Matrix, Bug Trend Analysis(means comparing no of bugs in different versions). Types of Metrics are Process, Product, Project. “Do CMM, ISO 9000 come under Metrics?”. I am not concluding the above information. My attempt is to make clear that on what topic seniors have to give their kind and valuable suggestions.

    Plz. respond with full details.

    Yours faithfully………Sirisha

    #41 Vinay on 11.07.08 at 4:48 am

    Hi Everyone,

    I am starting as a fresher in this Testing field. My lead let me know about Selenium IDE, a mozilla plugin to do basic Website Testing. If I want to learn other technicalities about testing other than Selenium, which is the best one to start with. I have to learn it all by myself.

    Thanks in Advance.
