I'm studying how to become a qa manual tester without any IT background. It's exciting and scary at the same time but I'm so determined! This video helps me to understand the role better, thank you!
My sister is a dev. We've been cat and mouse since a very young age and she was the one who brought up the idea for me to become a QA. We learned in the course that DEVs and QAs don't get along very well due to differences in approaching and dislike to criticism. And immediately I went: OH! So that's why she thought this job would fit me perfectly.
I have commented on your videos before I am 7 months in as a QA and it’s still a learning curve for me. It’s definitely a job that challenges you everyday and nothing is ever the same.
That's awesome that you're 7 months in!! I totally agree. Some weeks I still feel like I don't know enough, and once you finally do the project changes and you start learning all over again hahaha
Hi Madeline! I am a current teacher and lately I've grown interest in software testing! I've watched a few of your videos and I love how open and honest you are about your position. This is something I do want to transition into in the next few months. I am going to keep watching more of your videos and start taking online courses soon! You're doing such an amazing job for anyone thinking of doing software testing or even new beginners!
I'm graduating with my bachelors degree in information systems and software development at the end of this year and I feel no where ready to get any kind of job in the programming world so this is comforting to know this is a possibility.... also, I binge watched all your videos yesterday, I came for the QA content but stayed for you as a content creator (:
Ahhh congrats on graduating!! Trust me you're not alone in that feeling, but you have totally got this! And thank you so much, that absolutely made my day! (:
Story of my life, I attempted to expeirment with different things in software engineering as I'm due to graduate in summer of 2022 but realised my calling is in software testing.
Hello Madeline! Hope you are fine I have just got opportunity to work as a QA Tester and I would like to request you to make a video on how you take notes and provide tips on how to effectively manage the notes taking. I feel that it would be beneficial to me as well as other budding QA testers as well! Thank you 😊 Afzal
I graducated with my bachelores in Business Information System and have been doing manual QA for a little over 4 years. I get along with the Devs and PMs in my team. Overall, it's a pretty cool job. I enjoy the product that I work on every week day.
@@leandroayeras9197 Hey, thanks for asking. It's going good, i'm on the 3rd project already on the same company i started on. So i got exposed to a lot of things. Some developers are easier to work with than others, but as long as you are sure on what you're saying you're good. Mistakes can be made on both sides. Looking forward to promote to middle QA this year.
Hi Madeline, I am a QA Manual tester also for many years and this video resonates so much with me. The tips you give confirm that I observe good practices. I always look for new ways to work, especially with young people like you. I would like to know how you write your test cases and how you store them for future use. Do you have a video on that topic? Thank you and keep up the good work!
I'm on my 6th day as a QA. I feel a bit lost and overwhelmed, that's how I found your video. I come from a Biochemistry (strictly lab) background and everything feels so different from what I was used to. Can't wait to learn more and to get more comfortable with the new work. Thank you for the video! It was very helpful
I felt sooooo lost when I first started! It can be a ton of information to learn all at once. You're gonna do a great job, just take it one day at a time!!💛 I'm so glad the video was helpful!!
Hey Madeline, thanks for posting this video. I’m actually familiar with some code but definitely NOT with testing; I’m typically ok with asking questions but since I just started at QA, I found that I’ve frozen up and avoided asking questions, mostly because asking Senior QA or Devs is a bit intimidating. After watching your video, it sounds normal so I’m ready to break free! Thank you for giving me some courage lol.
Madeline, thank you for this video and tips! I’ve just finished QA eng courses and worry about job search and future job. Your tips are very interesting!
Thank you so much for the fantastic tips. It's been 4 months since I worked as the QA for a start-up. Still learning new things every day (more on the horizon). Love your videos. Keep more coming, please
Cool video. Landed my first software testing internship 4 months ago at Fujifilm. Mixture of API testing and writing test cases to test document archives and the like. Pretty boring and the pay is rubbish so I'm looking to secure a better job when I finish my computer science degree (hopefully) at the end of 2023.
Hey Madeline I just got a job as a tester also having switched from teaching. I did learn some basic coding which helped me get a job as a junior tester using automation testing for regression and system testing. I am very far from experienced as I self-learned the language and how to use it through free online courses, online help communities and just practicing with it. Just wanted to say thanks for the videos as I am going in my first week of the job and these are great tips to keep in mind when starting out. Keep them coming.
@@lifeofdamos I got some tips from my brother who is over 10 years in the industry. But I just used Udemy courses on basic topics like npm/node basics, Selenium based automation testing and now while working I am focusing on cypress as protractor which uses Selenium framework is no longer going to have support from August. Sorry I know that may be a lot but I would focus on node and a your choice of automation framework. Ideas of frameworks to look at are Selenium, Cypress and Playwright. Then if needed do a simple course on Typescript/JavaScript coding language if you choose Selenium. Hope that helps haha
@@jamarparker2760 I taught myself from Udemy courses on useful topics. Then just practiced and found good websites online to practice coding for different problem solving situations you get in testing to help gain experience.
I really want to pivot to QA from full stack dev. Just seems like its more fun to break things. You're magic too btw, what you do is super important for the devs to list potential outcomes.
That's interesting...I'm currently a secondary school teacher, looking to move away to a new role, and I've been presented with 2 potential posts..Full Stack or QA manual tester. Can I get your perspective as a FSDev? I'm currently leaning towards QA.
I start manual qa remote as well on monday. I work as a freelance qa already but this time is the serious stuff with agile and all and its first time doing it too xd But i guess since they hired me they must have seen something :P
Hi Madeline, your videos are very inspiring. I also want to switch my career to QA tester as soon as possible. As you said your company gave you on job training, I am also looking for similar kind. It would be great if you could suggest me how to find one.
I'm a QA for two years now on an ERP project - the largest data migration project in my province's history for the government. 100% self-taught and now I'm re-learning front-end dev - self-taught too. Notes are SOOO key for testing. SO key. I'm going to start your note-taking method tomorrow at 8:15am haha. What app do you use for this or is it good old paper and pen? I really like paper and pen but when it comes to recalling something from 7 months ago when a refresh totally screws things the find function to search for relevant words is a such a lifesaver!
Hi Madeline! I don't know if it's just me, but it seems to be a shortage of Americans (or westerners in general) covering QA testing, engineering, analysis, etc on social media. Do you find this to be the case in the real world also where QA is maybe being outsourced? If so I'm concerned that this may be a factor in pursuing this career. Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks 😊
Hi Madeline! I recently stumbled upon your channel cause I'm starting my first QA Engineer job ( their fancy word for QA Tester I guess ). I have a Bachelor's degree in Information science and I'm familiar with C++ and C# basics + I did some small portion of QA work as a student. Would you mind sharing some of your tips on finding bugs while doing regressive/exploratory testing? Like, what are the most common ways a bug is usually found besides clicking on stuff and where (i.e. input fields, date pickers, etc...)? :D Also, you seem really cool and lovable :) I really wish your degree journey goes according to plan :)
Hi there! Congrats on the job, I hope you love it!! That's a great idea, I will definitely incorporate some more bug-finding specifics in a future QA video 😊 And omg thank you so much🥺💛 I appreciate you!!
@@glojonah3778 Hi there :) Regarding my job, I got a raise after the 6 month probation period and they're happy with my work. I personally think that I can do a bit more complicated stuff so that's why I want to learn tools that we don't use at my company currently because it could benefit me in a different job. I had a technical interview for a different company also. They wanted a mid/senior QA so I tried but failed. Nevethless, I learned a lot. Overall, it's okay where I'm currently working but I think I could do better :)
And my qualifications is totally different from this but I joind this field as a fresher ..now I am beginnera in manual testing but I like automation qk
Hello Madeline, I've been following your channel for a few months now and I was wondering if you could inform me on what I should be doing to become a manual tester similar to yourself? After watching one of your older videos on you becoming a manual tester it seems as though you were introduced to it by a friend and were sort of given on-the-job training. Is there any other advice you have that could help me as I've just begun learning about QA and I am honestly looking to transition into this particular field as soon as possible? Thank you for the content you're amazing.
Happily in the country where I live they released vocational higher education as QA tester! The course takes 1,5 year and you are a QA tester manual and automation testing after that🌺
Hi Callajeno! You are correct, a friend referred me to this position and all of my training was on-the-job training. I have heard from managers that one of the most important qualities they are looking for when interviewing candidates is that they are detail-oriented, so any past experience where you can highlight this quality would be helpful in your resume/interviews. My job did also require a bachelor's degree, but it didn't have to be in any particular field. Finding connections is probably the quickest way to getting hired! Best of luck to you!!
Hi Madeline, thanks God I found you on RUclips. I'm studying in a bootcamp for manual QA tester. One of my friend talked about me and she was saying that, oh it is really easy job and you do not have to be have any IT background but when I'm in I noticed it is not easy as seem as. I am actually a computer illiterate but I am trying. I am just wondering your education background. I need to hear encouraging things. And also it was told that interview steps hardest part. Could you talk about little bit education and how did you convinced the recruiters? Hopefully answer this, I'll look forward hearing from you. thank you
Hi Madeline, thanks very much for this video. It has been very helpful to know what to expect as a new tester. Just a quick question--do you write up Testing Notes (the ones you mentioned at 08:38) in an Excel file? thanks again!
Hi 👋 I always come across your video every time I do a search for QA tester. I like your video , they are really helpful and has a personal feel to them. Little about me , I was doing IT Support for over 6 years. I wanted a career change so I decided to become a QA tester because I like dealing with back end process. I still learning how the QA process works. Can you explain to me the QA process of how it works and what you do to docment these test case and report ? Thank you in advance ☺
Hi Saly!! Thank you so much for your kind words, I'm so glad you're liking my videos😊 That's exciting about your transition to QA, I hope you enjoy it! I'm not sure if the process for QA is the same in different companies...but sure I can at least share how it works for me in a future video.💛
I am actually trying to get a job as a manual tester, but I don't have any experience in that field. I just have my undergrad degree in business administration and an associates in business management focusing on cyber security. Any advice on what to do to prepare for the job.
Hello medaline I am about to finish my diploma in networking in next july/September, I’m not much into coding, i keep watching your videos on testing and i feel that i want to do job in testing field i don’t have any experience in this. Please tell me how to get a job in QA. What are skills required for that.
Great video, I am a Manual QA myself. I have only been in this role for just a little over 8 months. Quick question, which testing software do you use? I know this will differ from company to company. I am only exposed to HP QC
@@ruthsavon9061 Jira, Testrail, Postman API, basic SQL knowledge. Check out free tutorials on RUclips on each of the ones that I mentioned, reddit is a great resource as well to learn from other people in the field.
Hello, I am new to the world of testers and I would like to start working as a Manual tester. Do you have a site where I can look for work, I appreciate it. Greetings from Cuba
Question: im thinking abt getting into a bootcamp for maybe 3 or 4 months they say, for qa enginner. but… its just a certificate .. u think will be really hard landing a job without no real work exp in a company?.
Thanks so much for your video. I am self-training for a QA career with QA videos on RUclips, Udemy, QA tool websites, Katalon eduction videos, learning codeless automation tools, and anything I can find. How do I show that on a resume for a QA Analyst job? Do I write a cover letter with my QA job desire and that I've self-trained? Thanks.
Hello Hunter, I'm not Madeleine 😅😅 but I think you would be okay just listing the things you have learned in the Objective or skills portions of your resume. If you get any certs after learning the materials, that might help too. Especially if you don't yet have on the job experience. Utilize LinkedIn too. Wish you the best.
Hi! I didn't actually take any courses prior to starting my QA job, but maybe other people who see this comment can help you out with some suggestions!
Hey Sanan, you CAN do things like a basic fundamentals course and that can go a long way in an interview. I teach with Nucamp and I can confirm it's basics. I can say if you grasp the main concepts there, you can learn all you need for Manual QA, but I'd encourage you to pick up the JavaScript pathway on Pluralsight and learn Node.js.
We must be on the same wavelength! I JUST posted into a Facebook group earlier today asking questions about QA testing! If anyone knows any specific companies looking to hire a beginner QA analyst/tester-- let me know. :)
@@abooktolisten2773 you can always apply. Revature is tricky though because they can just try to shove you into whatever training class they have coming up. The only issue with these companies I listed is that they will want you to sign a contract to work for them for some period for less pay. But they can help you get your foot in the doors. Obviously they prefer new graduates but if you have any recent bootcamps education or online classes, they will take you too
I'm 43 years old and want to test video games but I lack the experience skills. ? Been rejected 59 times and counting.? No degree no job. I can't afford anything right now even college too expensive even if was affordable.
I am studying software testing And I like your video and I want Your Instagram in next video put that in Discription but give in as a reply And you doing very good for biggners

I am actually trying to get a job as a manual tester, but I don't have any experience in that field. I just have my undergrad degree in business administration and an associates in business management focusing on cyber security. Any advice on what to do to prepare for the job.
Do we need to be apologetic when we miss something? If so what’s the best way?
Hello medaline
I am about to finish my diploma in networking in next july/September, I’m not much into coding, i keep watching your videos on testing and i feel that i want to do job in testing field i don’t have any experience in this. Please tell me how to get a job in QA. What are skills required for that.
Do you use Jira to report/track the bugs?
We use Jira to track our different projects and issues, but I use Microsoft Teams to report and track bugs with my team!
What is the difference between manual QA & automation QA??
Great video, I am a Manual QA myself. I have only been in this role for just a little over 8 months. Quick question, which testing software do you use? I know this will differ from company to company. I am only exposed to HP QC
Thank you!!
I'm not actually sure...I don't think I use any software for testing other than specific tools my company built for itself.
Hi! How did you learn how to be a QA ? I’m coming from a teaching job and I wanted to know how icoils teach myself before applying to positions
@@ruthsavon9061 Jira, Testrail, Postman API, basic SQL knowledge. Check out free tutorials on RUclips on each of the ones that I mentioned, reddit is a great resource as well to learn from other people in the field.
If my company uses Jira, should I have a note bug
The note you mentioned is it on paper or on notebook app ?
Hi. Maybe you can give me a few tips to find a job. I'm from Ukraine and in the US it so different
the sad reality is that, automation is now killing our career (manual QAs), i don't have the patience to learn java and such :( but i think i have to.
Hi I was wondering what school or boot camp you attended to learn QA engineering?
Hello, I am new to the world of testers and I would like to start working as a Manual tester. Do you have a site where I can look for work, I appreciate it. Greetings from Cuba
Question: im thinking abt getting into a bootcamp for maybe 3 or 4 months they say, for qa enginner. but… its just a certificate .. u think will be really hard landing a job without no real work exp in a company?.
What program did you take and how long was it
Can you please make a video on this job for women? There is a narrative that this job is boring
Hello Mandeline could you tell me where should i look out for Manual QA boot camp. I see careerist. Are they Good?
What’s the salary expectation for manual qa?
Can you recommend where can I do the training for QA
Thanks so much for your video. I am self-training for a QA career with QA videos on RUclips, Udemy, QA tool websites, Katalon eduction videos, learning codeless automation tools, and anything I can find. How do I show that on a resume for a QA Analyst job? Do I write a cover letter with my QA job desire and that I've self-trained? Thanks.
Hello Hunter, I'm not Madeleine 😅😅 but I think you would be okay just listing the things you have learned in the Objective or skills portions of your resume. If you get any certs after learning the materials, that might help too. Especially if you don't yet have on the job experience. Utilize LinkedIn too. Wish you the best.
How can I develop a network? Is there away you can help?
Do you plan to keep your job when you go back to school?
That will depend on the program I get into and the class schedule!
Hi Madeline, What is the best course for QA testing in the USA?
Hi! I didn't actually take any courses prior to starting my QA job, but maybe other people who see this comment can help you out with some suggestions!
Hey Sanan, you CAN do things like a basic fundamentals course and that can go a long way in an interview. I teach with Nucamp and I can confirm it's basics. I can say if you grasp the main concepts there, you can learn all you need for Manual QA, but I'd encourage you to pick up the JavaScript pathway on Pluralsight and learn Node.js.
And one more thing your hair is so nice
Awe thank you!😊
What tools do you use for your manual testing? What tools you recommend to learn?
How to get QA job as a manual Tester???

Any course online for Manual QA ? can´t find any reliable.
JIRA, Testrail, Postman API, RUclips those tutorials, free information everywhere on RUclips.
We must be on the same wavelength! I JUST posted into a Facebook group earlier today asking questions about QA testing! If anyone knows any specific companies looking to hire a beginner QA analyst/tester-- let me know. :)
Also-- I do have some (minimal) coding background with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and a little bit of Bootstrap
Did you get any inputs?
Try fdm group , cgi and revature
@@thetruthsayer8347 Do revature require QA? I have always seen them taking developers and with the requirement of being recently graduated
@@abooktolisten2773 you can always apply. Revature is tricky though because they can just try to shove you into whatever training class they have coming up. The only issue with these companies I listed is that they will want you to sign a contract to work for them for some period for less pay. But they can help you get your foot in the doors. Obviously they prefer new graduates but if you have any recent bootcamps education or online classes, they will take you too
I'm 43 years old and want to test video games but I lack the experience skills. ? Been rejected 59 times and counting.? No degree no job. I can't afford anything right now even college too expensive even if was affordable.
Have you got in anywhere? its been 4 months since your comment. Please, do reply.
how much time do you take courses for manual QA?
Are you in a contractor position or it’s full time?
