Step 4. Evaluate your Experience
How was testing?
· Did you like testing?
· Did you like writing up the bug reports?
·Could you do these same activities day after day on the same software?
If you answered yes to these four questions, then software testing is a possibility for you...
· Was it frustrating to not have a written guide for what to test?
· Was if difficult to keep track of what you'd done?
· Would you find it tedious to do the same types of tests and write up bug reports day after day?
If you answered yes to these four questions, well, this is the reality of the world of software testing -- so you may want to consider another field.
How many bugs did you find?
Did you find bugs in the look of the pages, the functionality, errors users might do, stress the user might put on the application and common ways that the user will use the application?
How many bugs are really in the "Day Dream Vacation" site?
Click a list of all known bugs and now compare your results to the actual results.
How did you do?
Did you find many of the bugs? Did your bug reports look the same as the actual bug reports?
No worries, if you've gotten this far, had fun and liked what you did, with a little training, you could be a professional software tester!
Are you ready for the next step?
The next step is to take the Beginning
Tester Assessment Test. This will help you decide what your existing
skills are at the base line level required before taking Vettanna's Practical
Software Testing course. The test evaluates the following:
· Computer Terminology
· Basic Testing Knowledge
