Hi Kenney,
Congrats and welcome to the world of software testing!
I have a back story where software testing sort of found me as I had graduated with a degree in business but no real ideas what I wanted to do. After working for a couple of years in call centres I heard about a company who were ofering graduates who weren’t working in graduate-levcel work the opportunity to get into IT and either testing or development. The rest is history, but suffice to say I’ve been in software testing since and it’s a great job in my experience, plenty of challenges, lots of scope for growth and decent salary and promotion opportunities.
When I started the company gave us a two week course in software testing. It was a very very good grounding, so I’d recommend something similar to you. The course was based around the ISTQB course (it gets a mixed press as you’ll see if you search for articles on this site, but IMHO whatever folks think about it, doing some kind of course so you get the theory side of testing is invaluable).
You’re also very welcome to the MOT site, which I hope you’ll agree is a great resource. I’d recommend searching out some of the ‘30-days of [fill in the blank]’ articles. Also, there is this article which may be a good starting place: Club Posts To Help You Get Started With Software Testing And QA.
One other really good one to do if your company allows it is to get a mentor. If you can get a person with like 5+ years experience to guide you, to act as a sounding board, to offer positive critique it will be very helpful in getting you up to speed on testing as quickly as possible.
Hope the above is helpful and again welcome to the world of software testing. Am sure it’ll be as good to you as it has been to me
