Life is full of challenges, interesting twists, love, passion, emotions, egos, adventures, comfort etc. "7" is my memorable number in my life.  Here are 7 things, that i have learnt f rom the past life. PAST FAILURES Everyone goes through tough times – Success and Failures comes in life. Never think that you are alone in your life and remember there is always something that we are behind to achieve in life.  Stop thinking about the past and start thinking on what you are doing right now and move forward.  “Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start       today and        make a new ending” – Maria Robinson STOP PROCRASTINATING If you want to achieve what you want in your life, stop procrastinating and take control to change the situation with responsibility to move forward. “Act as though, It is Impossible to fail” - Dorothea Brande Be a Leader Stop p...

The following are some good practices, I have learnt for doing testing. Before you start the testing the product, Understand the product Architecture. Understanding the architecture and working of the product, can help you see more error prone areas and can cover large amount of errors in less time. The Error prone areas may mostly occurs on the interfaces between the different modules, as different programmers work on different modules in a product development. See the potential misuses and verify how the software works with those issues. If application is working perfectly as per it is intended, then don’t stop the testing. Just like a detective solves a murder mystery and the testers has to find out the any ways of potential misuses and how the software works unexpectedly with those issues.  Sherlock Holmes is Top Fiction Detective Think like an End User, who has no idea of how to use the product, explore it (or)  Think like a Hacker try to find...

Seek Guidance … Ask others: To understand “what to be tested”, you must learn to ask others about the product and seek guidance who has relevant knowledge about the product workflow. Use  Test Case Design Techniques: The test case desig...

Here is one more Milestone - 50 th Blogpost and Today’s Date is 18 th which is divine and Wonderful Number. Testing is my passion, I do it from my heart. I try to find happiness in fulfilling my job as a Software Tester. I have lost myself, certainly when I lost many opportunities during the past days. I have taken a break from my life and took time what are negatives and positives in my life. I got heard so many things, “He is not having testing certificates or skills to show up his work, so he is unable to get a project.” I am very thankful to "Sharad Rathi" ( Linkedin ) “ Michael Bolton ”, “ Ajay Balamurugadas ”, “ Sudhamshu Rao ”, “ Parimala Hariprasad ”, “ Anshul Jain ” and many others… for giving suggestions during my initial days of my career. After getting inspired from them, I have started Blogging on Testing and participating in different testing contests and reading many testing articles to learn more and keep my goal. One day, I have seen a...
