Hi Everyone,
My name is James and i’ve been a tester for just over 6 weeks now.
My main duties are in manual testing but the company’s idea is to get me into doing some automated tests in the future.
If anyone has any tips or any resources to help me along i’d be very grateful
Welcome, well you have found this place after just 6 weeks so you are on the right track.
In terms of resources there are plenty of useful threads on here you can check out like:
As Meetup Organizer of the Ministry of Testing - Boston , many new software testers have come up to me over the past year to ask me how they could start learning about the field.
I usually refer them to a few favorite references of mine:
Agile Testing with Lisa Crispin and Janet Gregory: https://agiletester.ca/
Cem Kaner’s free Black Box Software Testing course covering Foundations, Bug Advocacy, Test Design, Exploratory Testing : BBST Foundations

I am new to testing having moved from the business (sales support) of my current employer a UK pension provider recently.
Now is the time of year we need to sort of development plans and objectives for the coming year and I could use some help. We have some standard objectives around corporate behaviour and blah blah blah but I need something else relating to the job of testing.
I know I need to learn a bit about SQL, and that FIT and UFT are available, although a particular project will deter…
and automation specific there is
This question raised on every manual testing engineer mind that how and from where they can start automation testing because many testers don’t know how to move from manual testing to test automation.
If we talk about ‘software testing services ’, there is a huge demand of automation these days and they want engineers who have good hand in manual and automation testing as well. But, most of the engineers who are working in manual testing they are confused about the skill set they needed for test…
Hello,
Could someone please recommend some good books, online/video tutorials for test automation?
Thanks

I completely agree that Selenium is a commonly used tool for performing UI automated testing by driving a web browser ( i.e. it mimics the behaviour of a user interacting with the UI but does so via the html of the UI).
You should also be aware that it depends on what type of automation you wish to perform. Something like automating API testing or Data layer testing doesn’t require Selenium at all.
