Software testing

I'm thinking about taking a course in software testing. I'd like to have your opinion considering the essence of this job from different points-of-view. (I'm over 30, so the option of start at university studies is not so relevant at this point). I had a look at this entry on Wikipedia, but I'd also like to have the saying of someone from within the business. What is the real meaning of this qualification, and, as far as you can describe, how does the daily routine look like, for someone who works at this field.

Age doesn't matter for any occupation, if you want to do some course in Software testing then you need to be only simple graduation (any). But with an analytical mind coz you have to remove the bugs from any software you will test. this fiels initially have some learning exposure but after sometime when you have frequently do testing you find it a hectic task coz you donot have to develop things you have to only test things besides you find balance money in this field. In my opinion you must start from it but then after some time start development, You can start from any local coaching center where they offers some kind of placement.

Software testing is an essential element of making an application work.  It is a compliment to development; not many software developers make good testers and vice-versa.  Testing requires a methodical, analytical approach, and the patience and skill to be very precise with your observations.  There is increasing demand for test engineers (some times called SQA -- software quality assurance -- engineers).  By all means, take the course and see how you like.  You will not likely have a problem finding a job, especially if you're willing to start at an entry level.

From a perspective of more then 10 years in this area, I can frankly say that if you got open mind, logical thinking and willing to learn and work hard then you will succeed in this position.

As software testing relate to huge areas and testing itself can cover areas that no one can know or learn all.

Testing is not all about manual and stupid tasks (although most of the testing companies in Israel offer this rule to juniors)
