I am new to testing. If you don’t mind, can you help me understand whether the cloud industry is a better choice than testing or not? I like testing but I don’t know whether it still has a high demand and good pay
Hey Karim, good question! Nowadays the market is someone spread apart with all jobs. I can not say go to testing or go to cloud industry because there are more jobs. But I can definitely say that becoming a QA Engineer is much easier then 99% of professions in IT. That's why a lot of people are into it to get started. It's sort of a back door to IT as from there, it will be easier to move any other position.
better to look at the job board and check how many open job positions available right now for QA engineers and how many job positions were available for example 2 years ago. And you will be surprised about the results :)
Yes market is dead for QA , when they hire QA they want everything from one person. A dev who writes code A product owner for requirement analysis A QA who can test A Dev ops guy who can release and monitor the release ( being a dev is easy in my opinion and you have AI to write code at least to suggest ) I hate being QA now
I'm doing QA for the last 15 years. It's been a constant try to automate all. Not possible right now. It takes more time to automate 100%, rather than automate 50-70% and use manual qa
Learn from UA-cam the test automation. You do not have to be good at coding to do QA automation. Maybe focus on UI and API test automation using the languages with more "simple" syntax, like JavaScript or Python. You can start practicing it as a side project (on top of the project you are manually testing). You can use tools and frameworks like Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, etc.). Once you are confident and have a working automation project you can discuss this as an addition to your current tasks in your project and ask for a pay raise for this. Of course manual QA still will be part of your daily job (and personally I think that nothing will replace human's manual testing in the nearest future) but automation can help to reduce time of testing some parts of the application. Ask AI for help with writing some tests and try to understand whole code it provides, how and why it works (or does not work sometimes 😅). This way you should be able to gain new skills, enjoy more what you are doing and increase your salary at your current employer or earn more with side projects. Never give up. Good luck! 🤜🤛
The better you are with coding the more likely your will be higher. There two ways to go: 1. Learn on your own 2. Take a course with mentors to teach you First one is cheaper but more time consuming and windier. The second will have the cost but much faster
AI is a great helper for any programmer, but is a dummy programmer itself.

Market is dead for QA’s. Change my mind
I'm doing QA for the last 15 years. It's been a constant try to automate all. Not possible right now. It takes more time to automate 100%, rather than automate 50-70% and use manual qa
I am manual tester from past 4+ year. I am not good in programming. What should I do to get high paying job in QA?
