Tech Industry is dynamic and that is why many people are switching from tech to management.

[@vijayab7839]

Exactly

[@bihari1422]

Naveen - You have amazing set of videos on your channel and those who have just gone through the titles and thumbnail of your videos can easily identify where he needs to fix his feet. You contribution to the testing community is amazing and you are the reason why I stick to the testing profile

[@manikandanm7955]

Naveen, Thanks for the heads up for those who is in need, much needed one.

[@TechyGodwin]

Thank you Naveen, it’s something relating to our core values as well. I guess it would be very helpful if we could have a little detailed video on the roadmap for up-skilling. Obviously there is no end to it, but only an experienced person in their specific field can guide us. Thanks Again 🙏

I love this channel and really appreciate the work you put into it. Please bring back the interview series

[@MadirajuKChaitanya]

I watched this excellent video just now. Naveen Sir has rightly highlighted many of the common issues that people with 10+ years of experience in Software Testing with/without automation skills are facing (be it being behind in technology wise or Skills wise). Naveen Sir's 20+ mins video gave a complete picture of what is happening now and what is going to happen if we do not up skill ourselves. We are all somewhere in this loophole going into quagmire of working in the day to day projects (in different positions) and forgetting the art of upskilling ourselves to stay relevant in the near/far future. I personally would like to thank Naveen Sir for this wonderful video. ITs a rude wake up call for all of us to have forgotten the art/skill of upgrading ourselves periodically.

[@rakeshkumarsingh3188]

Thank you so much, Naveen, for sharing valuable insights on QA. I truly appreciate your guidance. As a QA professional, I believe in continuously improving our values Thanks

[@rohanchristopher2265]

Perfect answer........ automation must needed skill....in saftware development industry.....

[@gregorriusadolphus2729]

I definitely agree with you, automation is criticial. I did the opposite-I first learned automation, and then learned manual testing...so I know both know. I know Protractor, Cypress, and Playwright. I also used Postman and SQL and some other manual testing tools. But like I have seen others mention in the comments, the problem I am facing now is that when I have an interview, they don't care if I have over 6 years of automation experience-they want me to solve dev-level coding problems on the spot. No one in my interviews is asking about testing strategies, and oftentimes I've found that people interviewing me don't know much about the testing frameworks themselves (a few were surprised when I told that that I have used Cypress to automatae some of my REST API testing). There needs to be some kind of shift in the way they interview QA Automation roles....for an SDET, I can understand needed to know more in-depth coding....but as a QA Automator its not really necessary in my opinion and experience. At least this his my experience here in the U.S...

[@vinayshsureshram277]

What do they expect SDETs to create with developer level coding knowledge? Even an excellent automation framework is a baby project for a developer.

[@automationdaytoday7983]

Thanks Naveen, for such a informative videos on latest automation technologies 👍

[@Rohan12341000]

Manual Testing is core work and can not be replaced by any automation tool. Simple thing in any project is that most of the time application is undergoing lot of changes and we require lot of regrioros black of testing. Automation testing comes into picture when we have a stable application and we need to do frequent regression testing for the build.

[@sanketnegi1]

May be for front end . But backend automation can be done from start itself

[@MaheshKeragute]

First to comment it, good topic to be discussed

[@altafmalik2843]

I 100% agree with you. My managers are manual testers with almost 8 to 15 years of exp. Now they are stuck with low salaries. Automation Although some of the companies are using but still if a manual tester is not getting better in tech, they have no future then.

[@ashwinikhanna]

Right information Naveen. Maybe people who do not have the knack or aptitude for programming are spreading such wrong information.

[@VlogsbyHareeessshhh]

Hi Naveen, firstly I would like to Thankyou for this amazing video. I’m currently working as a Recruiter and I’m parallely working on changing my domain and moving to testing. It’s been a week since I am learning about Software Testing. As a fresher in the IT domain, I don’t have much knowledge about these and as you mentioned in your video there’s a lot of confusion over the social media on ‘what to choose’. I would really appreciate if you can guide me on what skills should I learn first to become a software tester. Thankyou in advance. :)

[@sarancharan8506]

[@muhammadshawaizmalik7663]

Thank you Sir!

[@saranya2603]

Yes Indeed! Automation testing is mandatory for regression testing in Big tech. Atleast 70% of the TCs should have been automated for quicker releases every sprint. Manual will only be used for functional & integration with upstream/downstream. Companies have Quality team that are creating in-house automation testing framework with Java & Python, creating APIs for test data setup.

[@KavitaRecipesHealthMore]

Being a Senior position on QA, I take interviews in my company for Manual Automation both then yes can say Naveen shown exact market demanding conditions, One should be having knowledge of automation with hands on practice, Learn Tech no matter what otherwise yes one will struggle a lot ..Set a GOAL that you have to learn it with curiousity. Make effrots and Get good package .Thanks Naveen.

Hi Naveen Agree with you

[@0986rashmi]

Hi @Naveen , Could you help with tutorials on how to leverage the ChatGPT for QA and automation ? I am still thinking it would definitely save sometime when we come up with the test cases . I think we should learn how to effectively use the Chat-GPT in practical

[@namangupta7457]

Nowadays companies are asking complex coding questions on java than 2years before . Earlier it was theoretical questions only but now to clear a interview is tough

[@gregorriusadolphus2729]

This is so true...and it's not fair. The last few interviews I've had, they have asked or given me complex leetcode problems...and ask ZERO questions about automation or testing. And they are all demanding DevOps experience as well...

[@prasadk8103]

what ever you said is correct , currently i am having 10 years of exp in manual but not in autoation, i wanted to change my job but it's not possible due to lack of knowledge autoation. I was thinking since 2 weeks to change my self, By seeing your videos i got some idea to learn autoation. Hope that will be helpful .

[@seleniumdummy505]

@naveen I am also asking the same questions to myself today only so do you think if someone cannot be good in programming then he should try to do some certification like scrum master that can help to get better position and survival for next 10 years...

[@srishtijoshi5980]

If you are a fresher from IT background, stay away from QA role altogether. Though it may sound harsh , but try for Dev roles. All the new technologies that are developing are for Developers, they are paid higher with no upper limit. However no matter what automation tool you learn , there is a cap you will have on what you are paid. Try for Dev role .

[@naveenautomationlabs]

That's wrong and misleading.

Hey naveen Plz tell me exact how can I handle this situation. Automation Testing Interview. Every Interviewer ask only coding question in Interview. I don't know this Interview is testing ya Developer. Question ask for pure Developer level. Recently I have done synechron Interview.

@@Stride_Purple Web UI automation is waste of time.. and it's SCAM .. to loot clients

[@sayantan033]

Web Automation is not a SCAM, it is useful for regression tests and don't expect an automation tester to find bugs or requirement gaps like a manual tester. We need to combine efforts of both manual and automation tester. These days all job postings and recruiters are going gaga over automation and this is a SCAM. They will ask 80% of the questions in an interview for automation just to utilize 20% in actual automation. None of the projects are 100% automated. With introduction of AI, coding will be more easier, IDEs will start or have already started to incorporate AI coding capabilities, near future we will only need to feed in out requirements and coding snippet will be provided by AI. We need to have basic understanding of how code works, so that we can manipulate it according to our needs

Nope, it's subjective. Can't conclude as Scam...
