Why start your IT career with testing?

Software development, data analysis or database administration, cybersecurity, or even systems and network administration… why start your IT career with manual and automated testing?

Here are just a few arguments for it:

  • It's a fairly accessible option
You don't need advanced IT experience to get started in testing. A well-structured course will help you understand the fundamentals and you'll be able to start applying your knowledge right away,
  • A versatile career
Once you master manual testing, you can quickly progress to automated testing.
  • Market demand
Companies need qualified testers to launch quality products. A software testing course, whether online or in person, is an excellent way to prepare for real hiring opportunities.

Knowledge that matters: combining manual and automated testing

You should know that manual and automated testing aren't opposites, but complementary. They fit together perfectly to cover every aspect of testing in many of the projects you'll run as a software tester.

  • You'll use manual testing to identify issues related to the end-user experience. With it, you'll be able to detect certain errors that an automated script couldn't catch.
  • Automated testing, on the other hand, is indispensable in large projects, where both speed and accuracy matter. By automating repetitive tests, you can save time and resources, and you're able to run complex tests constantly, without human error.

A well-rounded tester knows how to combine these two types of testing. This way, you'll be able to meet the requirements of any software application, whether you work in an Agile team or a Waterfall project.
