FAQ
Can I learn software testing on my own?

Here at SoftwareTestingMaterial, our software testing course covers nearly all topics a tester needs to get a Software Testing Job.
What should I learn for software testing?
If you want to become a software tester, you need to start by learning the basics. Once you understand manual testing, you can move on to automated testing using tools like Selenium. Our Selenium tutorial will help get you started with automating web applications.
Do Testers need programming skills?
It is beneficial for everyone to understand the process and try their hand at coding. For the most part, QA testers (manual testers) do not need to be concerned with learning how to code. If you want to become an SDET then you need to have coding knowledge.
