Hey there just wanted to say, I’ve been going through a rough patch in life and decided to apply myself finally. This video has been an amazing starting point for me in the right direction! Thank you for your content
Hey Juss! I just started a coding bootcamp with aspirations to become a SDET. I am only three weeks in, However the work is beginning to pile on! I am trying my best to stay motivated but finding your channel and seeing how're thriving in your roll is a big confidence boost! Especially since I am also a young black man. If you ever have time and are willing to answer some burning questions I have about what a day in the life of an SDET is actually like, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you and keep up the amazing content!
Thank you for the feedback! It will get hard often and is a lot to take in, but once you have a job in the field it will slow down and be worth it. I am always open to questions so feel free to ask away.
Thank you so much for all this info!!! I’m so glad I found your channel.. currently feeling behind in my manual QA boot camp but your videos give me motivation to keep going.
@@lannaalece I am so sorry, I just saw this! I think the program has pros and cons but definitely thought out thoroughly and I appreciate whoever created the boot camp. You do need to be very proactive and spend a lot of time studying content outside of what they provide you though, and I wish they would emphasize that more. Overall, a great program in my opinion 😊
Yo, I REALLY appreciate your videos and perspectives. I'm on the fence about jumping into a QA bootcamp. I've already done a full-stack computer coding bootcamp, but decided that this is more up my alley. But I just can't make up my mind on whether or not I should pull the trigger. How did you get into QA? Maybe you have a video where you share your story (sorry, I'm a new subscriber!).... In any event, much appreciate sir. I'll be diving into your content over the next couple of weeks!
Thanks for the support! I'll actually make a future video about my specific path, but in short I already knew how to code and then a consulting firm hired me and trained me on the QA side, but I had to sign a contract to stay with them for a certain period of time. If you already know how to code you can honestly try some free,cheap courses here on UA-cam or udemy to get the fundamentals and then try to mass apply to some jobs before taking the full investment into a bootcamp
I apologize for the late reply, for some reason UA-cam has hid many of my comments from me, but thank you for the support! I am actually going to provide more course like work here on UA-cam and then have extended affordable extra course work for those who want it
Hey Test lead. Thanks so much for this video. It's very helpful. Can you also make a video on certification please. How they are helpful n which one to take if necessary. Thanks
I’m a QE with no degree, I’ve been in IT industry for 5 years and everything he is saying is 100% true. Please do a video on some of the certifications you should get as a QA/QE
Thanks for the support! I talk about some certs here, but I wills try to add to my queue another video regarding certifications ua-cam.com/video/i843CLnivcs/v-deo.html
As a mom staying at home ; what’s your advice to me to work only from home remotely in IT and what type of courses in IT will be good for me ? Is help desk analyst same as IT support ?? Which one related to assemble computers devices and fix them with tools ?? Because I don’t like to fix or assemble computers devices …any advices please 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hey, it depends on what an acceptable salary for yourself is. The higher the salary needs, the more complex the job would need to be. If you don’t want to manually put together or fix computers stay away from any hardware jobs. Physical computers =hardware Try for software jobs. Help desk and IT support usually help people when they are having problems with their computers usually related to software so those can be options. You can also try manual software testing which has a low barrier of entry but is becoming more competitive because of the low barrier of entry and easiness of the learning the skillset. Hope this helped and if you have more questions you can email me at thetestinglead@gmail.com
@@thetestlead I appreciate your response and advice. I now understand the difference. If I need anything I’ll be sure to contact you. Thank you very much and God bless you! 🙏🏻
Like the pay for being an automation engineer? This will vary by your years of experience, company, and location. There is no real cap for your salary, as your skillset goes up, your pay should too, even if that means switching companies. Only staying at a tech job for only 2-3 years and leaving for a higher paying one is normal in the field
Hi bro, your new subscriber, can we have detailed coarse as software tester with details. I mean how to work with different tools??? How we can get those tools, i mean virus free setup for download a software . And we need a dummy software to test as well.
I apologize for the late reply, for some reason UA-cam has hid many of my comments from me, but thank you for the support! I have made a few videos about specific tools, but I will try to make more guides/ walkthrough videos to help people in the near future
i'm currently learning sql because job requirement need talent have knowledge sql but i don't know how use it that for software testing. can you suggest me which tools sql best ? because there are so many, example : mysql, postgresql, dbeaver or toad oracle.
From my experience mysql. Normally after an application you are testing runs, it may make changes to a table in a database so you would use SQL to make sure the expected changes occurred. I will make some SQL video next week that might be of help
Hey man, looking for a bootcamp for software testing, but it’s hard to find reviews on some. I saw a list of the 5 best bootcamps to look into, but do you know any that someone you know has been to or heard of?
@@ibrahim_islam11 hey, do have you personally tried them or know anyone who has? I’m looking to make a future list of suggestions for people but I’m trying to base it on real people reviews instead of just relying on websites reviews.
@@thetestlead Yes, I'm currently enrolled in their QA Automation training program and they help with job placement after you finish the course which is 6 months and you're required to pay tuition only if you get a job in IT.
@@ibrahim_islam11 I would like to hear more about it. Can you send me an email at justthetestlead@gmail.com with all of the information and details about your experience?
Hi im back, You mention for programming languages Python, Java, C#. By December 5th I will have 1 year of coding in JavaScript for the client side and I did a decent amount of OOP, and functions. I also have some SQL experience but I don't know Join and the testing technologies. Question? Which tends to be the language most used? Is it Python? Which would you recommend?
@@thetestlead thanks I will. So far I am thinking about downloading postman and looking into what is involved with QAtester. I will try it out first to see if I like this, I love to code, so I am looking over every possibility, thank you.
Can you send a link for it? $13k seems a little high without context, but if they are well connected and can get you a job because of their connections, it may be worth it

Helpful! I'm taking a bootcamp bc I need the structure.
That is good, let me know how it goes!
Im a manual QA lookin to develope the technical skill. Its all so intimidating

You should make a free course here on youtube on manual and automation QA if you have time. Or just go Udemy and make some money.

This is great but I feel adept pay needs to be higher for all this work.

Shall i do automation testing course from simplilearn ?
I'll research it and get back to you
what's the difference between python QA automation and Java QA automation ? do they use different frameworks or tools ?
High level it’s all the same concepts with UI testing and API testing. It mainly comes down to the differences in the language syntax.
Hi bro, your new subscriber, can we have detailed coarse as software tester with details. I mean how to work with different tools???
