Case Study: Shravya Reddy's Transition from Manual to Automation Test Engineer

The rapid development of technology and growth in technology usage have led to a rise in demand for applications and web services. Automation testing plays an important role in software testing. Many manual testers are shifting their field to automation test engineering. Automation testing has an edge compared to manual testing, such as increased efficiency, speed, accuracy, reliability, enhanced test coverage, and early defect detection.

My name is Shravya Reddy, and I was a manual test engineer for three years. As a skilled professional software tester engineer, I decided to shift my career at a particular stage. So I chose for a change. I was aware of the market demand for automation test engineers, so I decided to change my career from manual testing to automation testing. I have completed six months of training from Staragile, including an internship. StarAgile assisted me full-time to get recruited.
