I'll disagree with this. First step is not learning a programming language. That comes later on after you learn about testing principles itself and building up your technical skills & experience. You have to understand the mechanics of both testing and software construction/design before you can "automate" it. This video needs to be in reverse order. Get the knowledge first and then find a tool & programming language to implement it with. This is part of the problem with Testing (still to this day, and I've been at it for over 30 years with 25+ of it in automation), people grab a tool first and then try to figure out what they need/can do with it. Implementing automation is problem solving. You need to first define what the problem is to be solved, model what the problem is, determine the solution to solve it, learn a method(s) of solving it, and THEN you find a tool (and programming language) to implement your solution. What is Software Testing? It is the process of Scientific Methodology. Do the same when working with automation and don't just grab a tool and work backwards.
Thaks for clarification, in this video im assuming that people already have context of software testing concepts, now to start automation, this is the path
@@TheTestingAcademy - That is good. My point is that there are other front-end processes/tasks that they need to understand and do first before learning a programming language and a tool. I've seen too many companies over the years dive in by getting a tool first and not understanding how to do the work itself first. That's my point. Your video starts off in that manner and I'm saying you need to reconsider that methodology. That's my opinion, and no disrespect to you. But as I originally said I've been at this a long time. Made those mistakes, and am trying to help you and the people who watch the videos not make the same mistakes as I did 25+ years ago. Back then (early/mid 1990's) there were very very few companies/people implementing automation in testing.
@@calkelpdiver Hii... I just finished my manual testing series and practice so what's should I needs to learn next for automation testing....A language or automation concepts or selenium please help me I'm really confused
@@uniquebeauty9492, Learn about automation concepts next. Learn about the different types of frameworks, their pro's & con's, and how to construct them properly. Learn more about how software is designed, built, and maintained. How to build in "Testability" of the software, and how to use it as part of any testing effort (automation or not). Then learn about the different types of tools to use for the different levels of testing (GUI; Selenium, Playwright. API: RestAssured, Postman. etc.). Understand how they are applied to solve the problem(s). Then learn a programming language like Java, C#, or Python. Once you have these skills/knowledge then you can begin to put it together to come up with your automation implementation approach/project. Get these fundamental concepts/practices down and then you can dive in head first to automation in testing. That's my opinion. Good luck.
I think you are missing one key thing in becoming a Automation tester - In my team it is largely the teams inability to communicate to all the stakeholders. Very good at running a scripts but no ability to communicate what they are doing to the wider team. For the love of God - Please learn to communicate clearly and articulately.
I recently finished learning manual testing...now i will be starting with automation (i am a non IT background guy) still confused, should i go with Java/Python...

how can we print bold text in csv file in selenium
I recently finished learning manual testing...now i will be starting with automation (i am a non IT background guy) still confused, should i go with Java/Python...
Recommend Java
It is a great video.. good insight ideas how to get into automation
Thanks for the awesome feedback
