How I ended up in the world of Software Testing?


How I landed myself in Software Testing?

This is my first blog and I’m writing it with lot of anxiety and being honest as I’m touching the most sensitive part of software testing career.


When I was a Student…
When I was pursuing post-graduation, I remember, I and my friends were least interested in getting into testing domain, not a single student in the class was looking for a testing career.
We had a feeling that anyone who gets into testing domain is under skilled and not good at programming, testing is a no-brainer job. Also we believed that testers won’t get as much  respect as Developers get.
Time passed and my feeling on software testing was still the same.  I was offered Development Job in a reputed MNC during the campus selection. So I was Happy to be called as a DEVELOPER.
I was in the last semester and was looking for a project in a software company. Then another reputed MNC offered me an internship offer. Well you might already guess the internship offered was for a Testing Project.
I accepted the offer halfheartedly as I had no choice, getting internship was hard.

Beginning of My Testing Career…. SILVER LINING
I entered the company; I got introduced to the colleagues in the team where I had to do project as part of the internship.
