[@tranquocthanh949]

exactly what I am always asking myself after 12 years as a manual tester. Tech is driving fast and manual test is not enough, we need to adapt and change ourself but I am a bit lost to find the best (or better) way for my own. Please continue with this topic with an extending and more detailed content Sir. And great content as always.

[@RaghavPal]

Sure Tran

[@sidgupta417]

Hi Raghav, Thanks for this video, I asked one question related to cloud computing in your other videos. But I am still confused, after 11 years of experience in software testing which transition will make more sense from a perspective where I am able to justify my past experience - 1. Transition from QA - QA Automation - Devops Engineer 1. Transition from QA - Cloud Engineer

[@RaghavPal]

Sid Both transitions are possible, but the transition from QA to DevOps Engineer may be a better fit for you, given your experience in software testing. Here are some reasons why: *DevOps engineers work closely with QA engineers.* As a DevOps engineer, you will be responsible for automating the software delivery pipeline, which includes testing. This means that you will need to have a good understanding of software testing principles and practices. *Your experience in software testing will give you a good foundation for learning DevOps.* DevOps is a relatively new field, and there are many different aspects to it. However, your experience in software testing will give you a good foundation in the following areas: *Testing:* You will understand the importance of testing and how to automate it. *Version control:* You will understand the importance of version control and how to use it to manage changes to code. *Continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD):* You will understand the importance of CI/CD and how to use it to automate the software delivery process. *The demand for DevOps engineers is growing.* DevOps is a hot field right now, and there is a growing demand for DevOps engineers. This means that you will have more job opportunities if you choose to transition to DevOps. The transition from QA to Cloud Engineer is also possible, but it will require you to learn new skills and knowledge. Cloud engineers are responsible for managing and maintaining cloud infrastructure. This includes tasks such as: * Deploying and configuring applications on cloud platforms * Monitoring and troubleshooting cloud infrastructure * Scaling cloud infrastructure to meet demand If you are interested in transitioning to Cloud Engineering, I recommend that you start by learning about cloud computing concepts and technologies. You can find many resources online and in books. You can also take online courses or attend training programs. Once you have a good understanding of cloud computing, you can start looking for jobs as a Cloud Engineer. When applying for jobs, be sure to highlight your experience in software testing and your willingness to learn new skills. Ultimately, the best way to decide which transition is right for you is to consider your skills, interests, and career goals. If you are interested in working in DevOps and have a good understanding of software testing, then the transition from QA to DevOps Engineer may be a good fit for you. If you are interested in working in Cloud Engineering and are willing to learn new skills, then the transition from QA to Cloud Engineer may be a good fit for you. I hope this helps

@@RaghavPal Thanks again for your guidance, this will surely help me in right decision making 😊

[@bhagyashrikatare4835]

Great explations, thanks, can you please let me know its tool like jira or as a manual tester can use it or its totally different role? Currently i have experience in jira tool only

[@RaghavPal]

Bhagyashri It's good to have experience in JIRA, it is widely used for many projects.

[@Shivammishracnb]

Hello Raghav, thank you you again for answering my NON IT question(I asked previously).Now after seeing this video and the one which you mentioned in CHIRAG11159's comment, I want to know that how to start all this, I mean from which language you begin? You advised phython and Java though but since a non IT guy, I need guidance from grass root level.

[@RaghavPal]

Shivam This video should help you - kzbin.info/www/bejne/gaO5lq2uaKprhbMsi=ELmWSzzGXM-Pd75x After watching if you have any ques, can let me know

[@dattatribiradar792]

Hi Raghav I hope you are doing well my query is that I have 2 years of experience in testing manual and automation and nowadays which are skills is required for testing

[@RaghavPal]

The skills required for testing are constantly evolving, but some of the most in-demand skills today include: *Automation testing:* The ability to automate tests is becoming increasingly important, as it can help to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of testing *Cloud testing:* Cloud-based applications are becoming more and more popular, so the ability to test these applications is a valuable skill *Security testing:* The need for security testing is growing as businesses become more reliant on technology *DevOps:* The ability to work with developers and other IT professionals is essential for testers who want to be involved in the entire software development lifecycle *Data analysis:* The ability to analyze test data is important for identifying defects and trends *Communication skills:* Testers need to be able to communicate effectively with developers, stakeholders, and other testers. In addition to these technical skills, testers also need to have strong problem-solving skills and be able to think critically. They also need to be able to work independently and as part of a team. If you are looking to stay ahead of the curve in testing, it is important to keep up with the latest trends and technologies. You can do this by attending conferences, reading industry publications, and taking online courses. Here are some specific skills that you can learn to improve your chances of getting a job in testing: *Selenium:* Selenium is a popular automation testing framework that can be used to automate tests for web applications. *Python:* Python is a versatile programming language that can be used for a variety of tasks, including automation testing. *JMeter:* JMeter is a load testing tool that can be used to simulate user traffic on a web application. *Postman:* Postman is a tool that can be used to send and receive HTTP requests. This can be useful for testing APIs. *Docker:* Docker is a containerization platform that can be used to create and deploy applications. This can be useful for testing applications in different environments. By learning these skills, you will be well-positioned for a career in testing

[@moomanao2376]

DevOps skill is required for QA professional but software testing skill is not required for DevOps role. But DevOps's salary and career path are much better.

[@RaghavPal]

Yes, if you see the skills and scope of work of DevOps, it will be justified. Can also check this - DevOps Career Roadmap - kzbin.info/www/bejne/gaO5lq2uaKprhbMsi=6_IQdDt46ZhYh-EK

[@CHIRAG11159]

Sorry Raghav...but still we don't get the answer how much DevOps is required for Testing...you only briefly told about what all in Devops

[@RaghavPal]

Chirag, this will help you - kzbin.info/www/bejne/gaO5lq2uaKprhbMsi=ZpUVLxJ67K0neRKt Again there is no fix set of skills or path for DevOps, it varies from project to project

[@CHIRAG11159]

@@RaghavPal Thanks Raghav...actually my query is for Automation Engineer, how much DevOps is needed....like in organizations today mostly we have separate DevOps Team who handle all deployement and CI/CD things but in some projects they ask QA to have knowledge of Jenkins/Docker etc which is actually DevOps responsibility and not QA. So the ask is if someone is Automation Test Engineer, how much tools/skills he know in DevOps, although we know DevOps is very vast but how much is required for QA?

[@RaghavPal]

The amount of DevOps knowledge that an Automation Engineer needs depends on the specific role and responsibilities of the engineer. In some cases, the Automation Engineer may only need to have a basic understanding of DevOps concepts, such as continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD). In other cases, the Automation Engineer may need to have a more in-depth understanding of DevOps tools and practices, such as Jenkins and Docker. The following are some of the DevOps skills that an Automation Engineer may need: * Understand the CI/CD pipeline and how it can be used to automate the testing process. * Be able to use DevOps tools, such as Jenkins and Docker, to automate the deployment of software. * Be able to work with DevOps engineers to ensure that test automation is integrated into the CI/CD pipeline. * Be able to troubleshoot test automation issues that arise during the CI/CD process. The amount of DevOps knowledge that an Automation Engineer needs will also depend on the size and complexity of the organization. In smaller organizations, the Automation Engineer may be responsible for a wider range of tasks, including DevOps. In larger organizations, the Automation Engineer may be part of a team that specializes in test automation. Ultimately, the best way to determine how much DevOps knowledge an Automation Engineer needs is to discuss the specific role and responsibilities with the hiring manager. Here are some of the benefits of an Automation Engineer having knowledge of DevOps: * It can help to improve the efficiency of the testing process by automating tasks such as deployment and configuration. * It can help to improve the quality of software by ensuring that tests are run automatically and consistently. * It can help to reduce the risk of defects by detecting and fixing problems early in the development lifecycle. * It can help to improve communication and collaboration between the testing and DevOps teams. If you are an Automation Engineer who is interested in learning more about DevOps, there are a number of resources available online and in books. You can also attend workshops and conferences on DevOps. I hope this helps
