Getting Started in QA

I am starting my journey into Quality Assurance (QA) from the very beginning.

I have built software as a developer and now I want to focus on software testing.


Software is everywhere but good software is about building features and making sure those features work as expected.

I am learning how testers think:

  • What can go wrong?
  • How can I find it?
  • How do I know the software is working correctly?
  • How do I communicate a problem clearly?
  • How can testing help build better software?

I have decided to learn by doing and document the journey as I go.

I will learn something -> practice it -> make mistakes -> fix them -> write about it.

Hopefully, someone starting their own QA journey can learn alongside me or learn from my documentation some day.


I will start with Manual QA and gradually move toward automation.

I will document the things I learn, the things I struggled with, and the things that finally make sense.

You can follow along or view my notes and practicals here

I'm learning QA and I'm taking you with me.
