Become a software testing engineer


Oneclick Testing Solutions can be reached at: 42612612 or 42612613.

We use software to drive our everyday lives.

In mobile phones, in ATMs, at the credit card swiping machine, online ticketing, shopping or banking.

Or for merely buying stuff from super markets. The question is how do we face it when a problem arises in the software.

One has seen software problems in various forms in life. Software testing is something that catches these mistakes and maintains happy customers.

A software tester's job is to identify or uncover defects and have the software developers fix them.

There are different technologies and standards used to identify these defects.

Edwin Paul Christopher, CEO of Oneclick and one who has eight years of experience in software testing, says manual testing is sitting physically in front of the system with the software to be tested and testing it. This is very common in India.

Most of the manual testing projects are outsourced to India. In the next testing process, automation, a tool replaces manual work.

There are lots of testing tools in the market.

A certain degree of programming is done in these tools to reproduce human actions.

There are many institutes in Chennai to train you as a software tester. Mr. Christopher suggests, before joining an institute, students check the following:

Is their tutor experienced in software testing?

It might be a little hard to digest but this is a fact, students who finish their course today (45 days) in testing, join as a tutor to train others.

What is the objective of the course? Make sure that the course is aimed at providing you a job.

This can be understood by making sure that the course material and the teaching process are aimed at giving you both theoretical as well as practical understanding of the testing methodologies.
