Before starting any language, learn basic OOP. Then start with JAVA or c#. May framework build over JAVA , it is good choice but, it depends on your career target. There are a lot of scopes for test automation using visual studio and c# also. So, decide based on your target. Initially Java will be helpful to understand the basics.
ReplyDeleteSelf learning is the best learning. And, it's a good choice that you are trying the best. Start with basic OOP(may be java/python/c#). Have strong idea on OOP. then language will not have any issue.
ReplyDeleteSelenium IDE, webdriver, GRID are good for start.
For performance testing, first have strong hold over application architecture and deployment, then go for it. Learning performance tool is very easy. But, from a performance tester, only testing is not expected. Usually pinpointing bottlenecks is the key issue. Start with Load Runner , it's easy.
I am fresh graduate.I want to start my career as QA Engineer.In my academic period i have learn C++ and Java basic.But there is no course regarding Software Testing.So what should i learn before start my career.Do i need to learn programming language??Or what should i study or practice by my self to get a job.In BASIS there is no training on Software Testing.And most of the company don't hire fresher.So please give some suggestion and help me to build my career.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to your reply. Thanks in advance.
Hello Anonymous...:)
Delete1. If you want to be an automation QA, you need programming language(spatially unit testing with java/c#) to learn. in basis, they teach unit testing.
2. QA training is company specific, that is why no so much qa. If you want to learn any particular technology, then you have to follow that. my opinion, join any where as fresher and start with qa basic. you may have some guidance from ISTQB course materials. And, SQABD has very good resource to learn QA.
Thanks

You have a great blog and a very good source of information. Just a bit of formatting in code will be perfect. TX
ReplyDeleteThank you and thanks for the suggestion. I am also thinking of using some plugins.
DeleteHello Vaiya,
ReplyDeleteAfter finishing BDJOBS training on April (15,16) under your guidance I started learning Automation in Selenium WebDriver (C#) and it's awesome. At the same time I started my BLOG (http://enggsagar.wordpress.com). I'm trying to write down at my blog whatever I'm learning. If you have sometime please visit that & let me know your thinking about my blog and help me to improve myself.
Thanks! a lot.

Hello Shantonu,
ReplyDeleteI have been working as a manual tester for 1year. I want to learn automation testing. Could you please guide me how can I learn automation testing. I have very few knowledge in java/c#. Should I need to start learning these languages extensively? Or I can start with my knowledge?
Automation is software development. I prefer to start with any development language. python will be easy. you can start Java too.
DeleteAfter that, target for one area of Automation . Automation has large sectors, try with single path and complete that.
good luck.
Hi Shantanu,
ReplyDeletei have 5 years of exp in mixed type of testing as per requirement of the project ( Manual + Automation + J meter + Small knowledge in security testing ) . I want to focus on (security + Performance ) for my next carrier . can u please guide me where i can start so that i can success on my next carrier.
Hi
DeleteSecurity & Performance both it self separate large sector. Be specific first. Initially it is important to choose one particular area and complete the full learning curve. And then you can extend your horizontal skills.
First thing first, before starting any of your interesting area (perf/security).. it is important to have development skills. Choose any language and complete a whole project in professional way. It will help you know all underline items of an application architecture. And in the day end those will be needed for performance or security testing.
