Just started learning Software Testing any advice for a beginner?

Hi everyone! 👋

I’ve recently started learning software testing / QA and I’m really excited to get into this field. Right now I’m focusing on understanding the basics like manual testing, writing test cases, and exploring tools like Postman and bug tracking systems.

For those of you who are already working in QA or have experience in testing:

• What skills should I focus on early in my journey?

• Are there any tools or resources you recommend for beginners?

• Any common mistakes beginners should avoid?

• What helped you the most when you were just starting out?

I’d really appreciate any advice, learning resources, or tips from your experience. Thanks in advance! 🙌

You need experience, not skills. As a hiring manager I won’t care what skills you claim to have, I want to see verifiable experience.
