Hi,
I am currently working as a Software Developer from past 2 years but now i wants to switch into Testing Profile because of my more interest in Testing.
So please guide me whether to go with Functional testing Profile or with Performance Testing Profile?
Thanks.
Perf testing is more narrow scope but niche, however I find it’s not really that complex. Functional would probably be more practical and then learn perf along the way.
i really appreciate the moderator of this since he posted jobs,vote poll ,testing articles, etc. keep it up .i will definitely help u to make this site as #1 website for software testing. greetings for the moderator and all of my friends,members

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

@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.
