Testing is an integral part of creating quality software, but exactly how does one become a successful software tester? 

Software testing is an odd position in the development world, in that there’s not really a formal path or set of credentials that necessarily qualify you as a software tester. In this course, engineering manager Ash Coleman—who herself swapped out a career as a chef for a quality-control leadership role—details the various career paths and trajectories of software testers, from the wide variety of backgrounds they come from to the different specializations they can pursue. Whether you’re currently a software tester wondering where your career might go, or in a completely unrelated field and looking to get into software testing, this course can be your baseline guide as you navigate your options.
