1 Learn Basics

To start your journey in software testing, it's crucial to grasp the fundamental concepts and principles. Software testing is the process of evaluating and verifying that a software application or system meets the specified requirements and works as expected. Begin by understanding different types of testing like unit, integration, system, and acceptance testing. Familiarize yourself with the software development lifecycle (SDLC) and the role testing plays in each phase. Resources like online courses, tutorials, and books can provide a structured learning path.

2 Practice Regularly

Like any other skill, software testing proficiency comes with practice. Start by setting up a simple testing environment using tools that align with your learning goals. You could use open-source tools to practice writing test cases and automating tests. Practicing on real-world projects, even if they're personal or open-source ones, can give you invaluable hands-on experience. Try to simulate different testing scenarios and work on various platforms to diversify your skill set.

3 Understand Tools

In today's tech landscape, familiarity with testing tools is indispensable. While manual testing is important, automated testing tools can significantly increase efficiency and coverage. Explore and understand different categories of tools such as test management, defect tracking, automation frameworks, and performance testing tools. Tools like Selenium for web automation or JUnit for unit testing in Java are widely used in the industry. Start with one tool, learn it well, and then gradually expand your toolkit.

Identify an area in which you would like to grow, and learn specific tools within that area. For example, if you would like to be more involved in API testing, then learn one or many of the below-mentioned tools: Postman: A popular tool for API testing that allows you to design, test, and document APIs. It provides features like request creation, testing, and environment management. SoapUI: A versatile tool for testing SOAP and REST APIs. It supports functional testing, load testing, and service simulation Pick one of the languages and try to learn the API testing framework, For example: Java: REST Assured, Karate Python: Requests, Tavern Go: httpexpect No Language: Venom API tests YML-based.

5 Analyze Defects

A critical skill for any software tester is the ability to analyze and learn from defects. Start by studying common types of software bugs and their root causes. When you encounter defects during your practice, take the time to understand why they occurred and how they could have been prevented. This analysis helps you improve your testing strategies and prevent similar issues in future projects. Learning from mistakes is key to becoming a proficient software tester.

Debes tener constancia en el autoaprendizaje y mantenerte actualizado no solo en lo teórico sino en la parte de técnicas de pruebas de Software. - Un Ejemplo: Define una estrategia de pruebas utilizando las técnicas de pruebas descritos no solo por ISTQB (Junta Internacional de Cualificaciones de Pruebas de Software) - Personaliza y adapta un patrón de dise?o de caso de pruebas para pruebas automatizadas tanto para Back End como para Front End (La herramienta de software que te recomiendo es Gherkin -Cucumber. NOTA: Las herramientas pueden variar en el tiempo pero debes una Metodología de trabajo ejemplo: BDD y TDD se deben mantener constantes pruebas de software
