Are You Smart Enough to Be a Tester: An Introduction to a Career as a Software Test Engineer

Software Testing and Quality Engineering is a very well accepted and recognized discipline as of today. However, it is still not a formal discipline or course that is taught at universities and colleges. There are a few private and offline programs in this space but the disconnect between the practical and theoretical knowledge is still large. QA InfoTech that has been in the software testing business since 2003 recognized this gap and conceived the idea of writing this book to provide a comprehensive guide to test practitioners as well as rookies. This book covers all the way from introduction to software testing to varied testing attributes, to software testing trends to building a career in software testing. It also serves to be a guide to help testers better connect with and contribute to, the rest of the product team’s efforts in building a product that is end user focused and of exceptional quality. In that sense, this is also a great guide to testing for other members in the product team who want to understand how they can contribute to product quality in possible ways.
