Hii Abhishek, sorry you can't do mca after doing graduation in chemistry.Because for mca computer should be there as a subject in graduation .But as you don't have computer in your graduation,you can't opt it . Don't worry and don't loose hopes because there are other options too after doing graduation in chemistry.

Good luck

Some myths in industry related to choosing Software Testing as a career are

1. Anyone can test. Development is better than testing.
2. Salaries will be less compared to Developers in the industry
3. Only the people who can’t code choose Software Testing as a career.
4. There won’t be any growth in Software Testing.

Gone are the days, see the below points to the above mentioned myths. If you are in a chaos in choosing Software Testing as a career then these points make you strengthen to choose software testing as career

1. Not everyone can test. One should need good analytical skills to become a Software Tester. You need to be good at communication skills for reporting and convincing other.
2. Salary may be less when you start your career. Experienced Testers are earning same level of package compared to Developers. Many companies are offering much more salaries to the Automation Testers compared to Developers.
3. It’s an old myth in industry that one who can’t code can be a Software Tester. Record and playback days were gone. It’s an automation age. An Automation Tester writes code to automate the scripts.
4. Growth – Tester will become Test Lead, Project Lead, Automation Architect, Test Manager etc., Ultimately everyone reaches to the manager level.

Hey Ravi,

You can join for experience or part time job , and don't waste your time.

If you want to make career then you should join some thing other like graphics designer, etc like that because in software tester there is not any career and money as you know.

Good Luck!

Hello Srikanth,  

Software testing and development engineers have unique growth paths with similarities. Software developers may get promoted to module lead, team lead, project lead, project manager and so on depending on the company's hierarchy.

A software testing engineer will have a similar path where he/she will become team lead, project lead, project manager, test architect etc. It's a myth that there are no or little growth opportunities in software testing career.

It's a fact that few companies offer a bit lesser salary to testing engineers as compared to developers at the initial phase of career. But I've not seen this remaining a problem for longer time in career. In fact, a qualified automation engineer can draw much more salary than a developer with similar work experience (years).

There is good scope of testing also. As software is developed, it needs to be tested hence, there will always be demand for testing professionals.

Hope it hepled you!!

Thank you
