This is so much my question, i was struggling to get the answer of this question i have Same experience and am struggling with Automation and Management, but after hearing this i decided to stick to Management. Thank you Pramod for the response
Testing is testing. I don’t understand that manual:automation categorization. Of course it’s possible to learn scripting and programming to apply it on automation in testing at anytime regardless your career time span
Marlon, There are people who are stuck in Manual Testing career for more than 10, 12, 16+ years and it is not easy for them to switch, In this video we had the same discussion.
Hi Sir, Same like Yatharth i'm in to finance capital markets domain last 9 years in to manual testing. But i know java and intermediate in selenium. Shall i try like technofunctional domains both manual and automation kind
It is rare to switch to automation after 10 years in manual. Better to go for BA role or CSM. Because even if you somehow clear the interview as well , then surviving in that automation role will be a challenge.
Hi Pramod, Thanks for this video, actually I am also in same place, I have 11 yrs of experience out of this 7 years in Operations and four years in manual testing but now I have stuck in the manual testing only, learning automation is bit hard now. As you told in the session, manual tester can go for Scrum Master or DevOps, so wanted to know is it easy to switch to these fields or it not require to code in both Scrum Master and DevOps? Please answer to my question, it will be very helpful for me
I have experience in Automation Testing and Manual Testing. But from last 3 years I am doing only Manual. Now I am confused what I will pick Automation, Scrum and Product Owner. Please guide
Sir I hav 9.5 yrs of experience in manual testing but I want to switch to automation because i am good at core java and interested to work on selenium with java...can I try this??
But, sir, in the twenty-first century, technology has changed frequently, such as people talking about robotics, driverless cars, AI,... moving to space... more work is coming from repetitive tasks, and robots have taken place. Now they can learn automation (programming knowledge). Without automation, there might be fewer opportunities, or we know the switch to devops also requires an automation tool.
Absolutely agree with you but right now if you see in the situation in India specially right it is hard to switch with more than 7 years experience to automation because people want automation knowledge 3 to 4 years which is not present for a manual tester who have almost 7 years of experience so I think the easiest way is to switch to other profiles like dev ops, scrum master, agile coach, PM. Switch to automation will be difficult but possible I think
I am qa with 9 years of experience and have basic knowledge on automation and comfortable with using Jenkins and git hub for CI CD stuff.. but struck in current company with less learning scope and unable to reach market standards of skills.. any help will be appreciated..
I think the best way is to change your job since you are stuck at a job right I would say just you to keep on applying the different companies and see which one works best
There is no such thing called people cannot move to automation after certain number of years exp, one needs to decide to go in management ladder or individual contributor and if individual contributor choice is made by a manual tester, then learning automation is a must and it can be achieved
Pramod, how about if we go ahead with the tool which are codeless automation like Tosca or any other tool. This is an example scenario.Any suggestions on this
Hello sir, I'm a 2022 passout after getting job in wipro as a project engineer they put me into manual testing. But I love to do codeing. I know python,java,.net concepts with c# very well. So, can I change my profile with in a year into automation testing? Because I like coding only,
Hi Pramodh, I heard that 10 yrs experienced tester can be easily replaced with 5 yrs experienced tester for cost cutting, So that 10 yrs experienced tester will loose the job ! And also people say that , In dev 10 yrs experienced dev cannot be replaced by 5 yrs experienced dev in any company unlike Testers , is that true ? Please reply Does testers don't have life after 10/15 yrs work experience?
This is exactly the right time to switch, You can join some courses if you want to. You can email me at contact@thetestingacademy.com, I will try my best to help you.
Ideally, Your course should teach you How to get a job, I teach my students the same, till they get the job, I help them, anyway. You can discuss with me over email contact@thetestingacademy.com
I agree with you Edwin, but the problem here is it will be very difficult since he has almost 10 years experience of manual testing with no automation testing so people generally, New companies don't want anyone to lead a automation team where they don't have any experience so it will be difficult but can be done

What's yatharth status as of now? Pls shed light.
I switched to automation after doing manual testing for 6 years within 4 months I learned it and switched to a different company.
That's amazing 👌👌
How dis you get the hands on experience

From manual testing experience you have domain expertise, so associate can grow as product owner with some awareness on tech stack..

Agree

You can, but no many companies are using it. You may face some issues while searching to another job

Hi did you change the job
Hi Pramodh,
I heard that 10 yrs experienced tester can be easily replaced with 5 yrs experienced tester for cost cutting, So that 10 yrs experienced tester will loose the job !
And also people say that ,
In dev 10 yrs experienced dev cannot be replaced by 5 yrs experienced dev in any company unlike Testers , is that true ?
Please reply
Does testers don't have life after 10/15 yrs work experience?
Sir my experienc is 8 month in manual testing and I am trying to be automation tester with 2 year. So it is good or i will try to switch it early
This is exactly the right time to switch, You can join some courses if you want to. You can email me at contact@thetestingacademy.com, I will try my best to help you.
Hii sir i am from 2018 passed out. I've completed my software testing course, how can i get job i am not getting any opportunity.
Ideally, Your course should teach you How to get a job, I teach my students the same, till they get the job, I help them, anyway. You can discuss with me over email contact@thetestingacademy.com
Sir please make video how manual tester can switch company with 3-4 years of experience
Yeah sure
yes you can switch after 10 years. if you explore and learn properly any one tool.
I agree with you Edwin, but the problem here is it will be very difficult since he has almost 10 years experience of manual testing with no automation testing so people generally, New companies don't want anyone to lead a automation team where they don't have any experience so it will be difficult but can be done
Is the IT boom over?
I won't say its over, but the recruitments/job switches have gone down all of a sudden.
I don't think so I think in India we are just getting started in
