How to start QA Testing career
Think of Instagram as a software you'd like to test. Now imagine all the different functions such as sending a message, liking photos, uploading/deleting pics & many more...well an individual or a team, is required to test these different parts , ensuring they meet the requirement of the organisation before releasing it to the public.
A day in the life of a qa engineer includes analysing the the quality of a product from view of the UI (web page that we see) and from the back end (software code). In short, this is so that any defects can be found and fixed.
The purpose of my channel is to show teach you How to start Quality Assurance career. During this process, I will show you the fun side of coding and writing automation codes that automatically log unto browsers e.g Chrome, click on elements such as login button; overall, perform actions as a normal user would on any given website. Imagine your very own instagram automation
All that I will show and talk about will prepare you for quality assurance interview questions therefore allowing you to enter the world of IT as a Quality Assurance Tester 2020

I just graduated from a coding boot camp, do you think I would have the skills for qa ?

[@myhearts419]

Yes

[@myhearts419]

Familiarize yourself with Python, Selenium, Jira, and agile methodology. You will be great.

[@rachana_n]

Which boot camp did you graduated from ???

[@daviddvir7259]

[@bahsm3nt]

Hey thanks for your video, would you recommend that someone who knows nothing about tech start with manual testing first before going into automation testing?

[@JGreyCodes]

bahsment k hi there, I'd say manual testing is a great approach/start to understanding the essence of testing applications overall so you wouldn't be doing wrong in starting there. Moreover, companies are pushing towards manual aswel as automation combined. The thing is an automation tester also carries out manual testing....So I'd say definitely start learning some simple java and automation testing frameworks such as page objects on the side Download my FREE ebook to get you started

[@bahsm3nt]

JGrey Codes hey thanks a lot for your reply, also have you got an email as I have some other questions to ask, if you don’t mind answering?

[@Erinspeedy]

Does anyone know how to really get an entry level role as a tester who doesn’t code. I am passionate like no other about getting into this field. Job titles may be QA tester, QA analyst, or Manual QA tester. I’m looking for real entry level where companies with provide on the job training or maybe even a paid apprenticeship. I’ve looked at some Udemy courses but I really feel I would benefit from learning on the job.

[@ViscondeTube]

How did you learn the skills? Online school? Did you already have a background in tech? How did you get your first paid job in QA Testing? Thanks.

[@JGreyCodes]

Hey there thanks for watching 😉 How I learned was by basically dividing my path into 2 paths. I initially focused on manual testing and enrolled on a mini course. As time went by I realised I wanted to learn automation testing instead thus I spent alot of time teaching myself , building frameworks and watching various tutorials just like the one on this video. That's one of the reasons I do these videos, it's my way of giving back. I know there are people who may want to learn manual or automation testing so I'd love to be able to provide that guidance.

[@lv9265]

@@JGreyCodes were you passionate about tech in the first place? Do you think you had this type of analytical/logical thinking from the beginning? I'm interested in pursuing this but to be honest, only because of the chance of getting a good salary here where I live.

[@brotendo]

This is more of a very broad and brief description of what QA testing is like and not exactly "how to start a QA testing career."

[@JaySelSumaylojay]

I want to pursue this career. But I am not good in coding back end

[@TheGlammedVixen]

Trying to decide if I want to go into this field. Seems interesting, my main questions , in your opinion, is your performance based off numbers such as how much work you can get done per day or the quality of your work ( accuracy ) or both? Is this job good for someone who may have ADHD?

[@terryhowell1545]

I also havw the same exact questions

[@Justgotfit]

Hi! I’m also a QA tester, i think people with ADHD will be great in this kind of career because they are so keen on seeing the details(if im right). Based on my experience, my pay is based on my performance or quality of work. Because they will give you deadline anyway, so you have to test and test and test until you are satisfied and if the test meets the expectations.

[@kenyacaldwell23]

I recently finished a boot camp for Manual QA. Any information on free workshops to help me advance or any tips?

Great video! Do you went to school to become a QA tester? I’m looking into this and just trying to get as much information as I can. Thanks in advance

[@JGreyCodes]

Hi 😀 I actually graduated in Psychology but decided to step into the world of IT. I am self taught but what I did was broke it down into 3-4 phases that I knew I needed to gain knowledge in. Should I make a video explaining these different phases? p.s don't forget to subscribe with the notification bell and download my free ebook (A beginners guide to software testing)

Can you become a qa without a college degree?

[@user-lm3uc9eu8i]

I dont have degree on IT . I talked to a "personal teacher" and he told me that it is better to be QA/Tester because it is a bit easier for someone who has not degree on IT . He said that he suggest it to everyone who has not degree. He said that i will learn python, sql ect ect ect .... I said him that i am police officer at Europe Union country and i want to change my job , i want to go to U.K.. I asked him if there is a way to connect my previous job and the new one in IT , in my CV. He said that everything in IT can not connect in POLICE. Do you agree with this ? That nothing can connect and that the only easy way for someone who has not degree in IT is QA/tester . Could someone be at first QA/Tester and if he want it , he will change it to be software developer later ?

Hello great video, what's a realistic salary for the this type of professio?

[@JGreyCodes]

Hi, thanks for your message. Aside from location being a factor, I'd say that the salary will also depend on certain conditions e.g. : * are you a manual tester? * are you an automation tester? * are you an SDET ( should I make a video on what an SDET is ?😃) Salaries will vary according to your experiences and on whether you are a permanent employee or a contractor. To determine salaries it is worthwhile checking on Job Boards such as JobServe and confirming the mentioned points.. Perhaps I should do a video on "Expected QA/ Software Tester " ??😉
