My journey as a manual tester started a bit differently. I started giving interviews to grep an opportunity in the development space. I could not bag a job directly as a developer in the initial phase of my career. Frankly, like any other IT graduate, I was skeptical about starting my career as a Tester. But I decided to give it a try. I was sure that I would switch to the development field later. Once I started growing my career in QA testing, believe me, I never looked back and did not even think of leaving testing after that.
