Hey Rohit,

You need to answer many questions before embarking onto such a journey.
If you are a fresher, then how are you going to proove your prowess in testing? I dont think any major software company recognizes the training offered in any institue. What you can do is, probably, appear for a CSTE - LINK, after getting training from these institutes. Or search more relevant institutes. Also look at - http://www.qaiindia.com/

Even then, I doubt companies look into the demands of freshers, and where they want to position themselves. Probably after you have spent an year or so in the industry, try doing such certifications and align yourself to that aspect of Software Life Cycle.

As it is, how much you reaaly know about testing is also questionable. There are so many types of them, and it's a surity that every project will incorporate only one of them. Plus, with testing, you will need an in depth knowledge of the tools you are testing, probably better than the developers themselves.

My suggestion - get into Software. Talk to Project Managers and Team Leaders about your interests, and they can better hook you up. As a fresher, how much leverage will you gain, by doing a course, is highly questionable...

Hey Buddies,
This is certainly not with the intention of sounding condescending or anything, but in general, engineers, over a period of time, prefer a 'programming' job, as opposed to a 'testing' job. Why? The testing job, after some time, becomes a routine. Whereas, in programming an implementation project does involve something to look forward to when you come to work everyday.
There are some who may argue that even programmers invoved in maintenance projects do a lot of 'routine work'. Point taken.

Basically, it depends on you, your aptitude and willingness to learn.


Do you BLOG? ..Then you've GOT to take a look at this...
Love this site...

Rohit,
Testing is an up and coming field. It has a huge demand versus a relatively short supply.

Development, on the other hand is overloaded.

Career wise, Everyone in the industry tends to become a manager after about 7-10 years. Testing, i have seen people take up that role in 5-7.

So... buddy, you need to have a chat to yourself. I can vouch that testing is not monotonous always. The testing team on my project swap people and everyone gets to test on new technologies all the time, and they keep on increasing their knowledge on tools.

It is an interesting field, but the decision is yours. We can enlist the adv vis a vis disadv...
For a testing aptitude, if you like trying to break stuff, that your friends made, to find faults in them... GO FOR IT..


PS - I hate testers. Me developer. This is natural!!!

Weelll, as i said earlier, i haven't heard of any institutes. And so i cant guide u in that regard. All i can say is that you will probably have a better opinion if you can actually get hold of someone in Delhi/(wherever you are) and ask them about it. That would be the best way. Or let other people here address it....

I recommend getting training from these insti's and then clearing the certificate exams....

Rohit - I dont wanna sound rude.. but dude have patience. The mods consider this spamming and u arent going to become a professional tester overnight. So have patience. Researching is not easy...
