I joined uTest community on February 23rd, 2012. It was the day when I found Software Testing very interesting and challenging field. During my study period at the University, I always wondered Where and How I can apply my Software Development and Testing skills. uTest community gave me this opportunity of deep understanding the Software Testing field.
I have started my uTest account as Rated(Beginner) Tester. For every new Tester, uTest community provides first Test cycle as NOT- payed. By providing this opportunity, new Testers can prove their ability to search for genuine defects and report correct Test cases as required. My first trial Test cycle was on webs-site, where I had to submit three defects and one Test case. I have completed all required steps successfully even though one of my submitted defects was REJECTED :) but I have found more defects and made sure it would not effect my Rating among other testers. If I am not mistaken, total number of testers was 100+. It was a great experience for the first live Test cycle, learning all the necessary tools to record your defects, following submission processes and writing acceptable, correct test cases. Overall, it gave me the feeling of that I love finding quality defects and reporting them accordingly, as expected and not just to listen or following exact steps of the task but thinking out of the BOX. Thinking in different ways than others, led me to find more interesting and fun defects of the given web-site.
Test cycle was locked after couple days and I was very inpatient to get my result of the submitted defects. As a result, all my defects were APPROVED by the customer and I was satisfied physically and mentally. My mind was flying in the skies by seeing success in my results and thinking of my time and effort I have put into that Test cycle. I was thinking of more Test cycles that I can actually take and prove not only to uTest community but to my self that I am passionate about challenges, new areas to learn/study and apply in real world applications. But the best part when you learn and share at the same time with your fellow uTesters. As I have mentioned before, there a lot of good materials on uTest forum. Crash courses from the best in the field, if not the best, I would say Tester who are very passionate about Software Testing Field and striving to learn the most and come up with new ideas for Testing. I have never seen and thought of this field to be so interesting, challenging and always evolving with different methods/techniques to Learn and Test. I am very thankful to uTest community and fellow testers who support, teach, learn and Test.
Every day I will post one or more stuff I learned from Testing and share my thoughts/ideas. I wish the best the of luck to all fellow Testers, looking forward to have more challenges and solve them with my learn/shared skills.
