Thirdly, they create a false sense that, after the course, you will immediately become a tester and earn a lot of money.
Fourthly, I often meet people after the course usa whatsapp number who have no idea that, apart from web application testing, there is backend testing, mobile application testing, desktop application testing, pentesting and even IoT testing. As a result, candidates often do not know the differences between, for example,. web application testing and mobile application testing.
Finally, they talk about many tools instead of learning them.
Myth #3 – I use smartphone or computer apps every day, so testing is no big deal
This is a shot in the foot during an interview or on your CV. I drive a car every day, but I’m not fit to be a rally driver.
Testing isn’t just about finding bugs (which is sometimes not as easy as it sounds anyway), it’s about taking care of the whole product development process.
Myth #4 – I will gain experience as a manual tester, and later? Automation!
Automation is the most frequently mentioned development path by manual testers at interviews. This is not the only possible perspective. A tester can become a pentester, scrum master, UI/UX designer, developer, literally anyone, there is no limit here. It all depends on you and what direction you want to grow in. Your company should give you these opportunities, and if it doesn’t you probably know what to do.
I hope you will use this knowledge and one day we will meet in a project!
