[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If so, would you please share about how you got into the field and advice for others, the education required & that will make you stand out, and what companies are best to work for?[/quote] Manual testing, or traditional functional testing, is either outsourced or obsolete, except government contract jobs. Test automation is really hot right now. The testers write test scripts using frameworks such as selenium. They are a lot easier than Java. The best paid are performance testers knowing LoadRunner (or HP performance center). Strangely the skill requirement is lower than programming and test automation. I guess you need to learn To use an expensive performance testing tool - Loadrunner, SilkPerformer.... There is an open source tool as well: Jmeter, and a cloud tool that can be used for less than $1000/week: BlazeMeter. You can find plenty of tutorials for the last 2 on their websites or YouTube.[/quote]
