Hi,
Sir I want a piece of advice from you.I am Bsc-IT graduate having 1.3 years of experience in Manual Testing.Can you suggest me what qualification or studies can make my career strong in Software Testing.
Regrads,

@Bhavya,
You can start with what you claim to have experience on – manual testing. Ask yourself whether you know about all test design techniques. Given a problem can you come up with comprehensive test design?
Ofcourse beyond this, there are a lot of paths, but I would advise to start with core test design skills first.
Sir,
Thanks a lot for your guidance.I had never thought of Core Test design skills.I would check books and blogs to start with core test design skills.Also I am thinking of giving ISTQB foundation level exam after preparing it by self study.I hope my self study helps me to crack that exam.
Regards,
Bhavya.Hegde
@Bhavya,
All the best!
