Work days as a QA, learning to code, and balancing life | Work Week In My Life
Hi friends!! I'm back with a new work week in my life vlog! Today's video shows work days as a software tester, how I'm learning my first coding language (python), and trying to fit in all the other parts of life (fitness, friends, rest, etc).
I hope you enjoy! Thanks for watching!

FAQ:
Did I get a certification/attend a bootcamp for QA?
No, my company hires manual QA as an entry level position and then provides the training.
Do I need to know code?
For my testing specifically, I do not need to know how to write code.
Am I manual or automation QA?
Manual

Hahaha thank you! I have a lot to learn, but I'm excited!
Ended up doing the same...learning to code before work. Couldn't muster the brain power for that after work. I'm learning Java / Selenium. LOL, I feel your pain. "I'm really getting it...I don't know anything, I'm not so dumb after all...nope, I'm dumb. Wow, I got that quick...I can't believe I just spent 30 minutes on that!" Best thing I've done (once I learned the basics) was to follow some guides and build an api and then super simple app with model view controller pattern. Finally, I wrote automated tests for it. I mean, I guess it's the obvious thing to do, but it made everything sink in so much deeper.

Hi can you share the resources to learn?
I also just started learning Python for automation. It's definitely a challenge for someone like myself who has little to no interest in coding lol. My only motivation is making more money and skilling UP. Best of luck to US on this journey.
I can relate about your time balancing concerns! Having a full time job, learning, and have any type of social life seems impossible at time for me 😅. But as you mentioned just staying positive and remembering doing just a little bit of something is better than nothing seems to be the mindset that has been working the best for me!
I know exactly what you mean when you're saying you're trying to balance everything. It feels so hard some times, living a healthy life, full time work, and studying on the side. I am in the same place as you and I really relate to your video. Sometimes I also feel like I just want to be on the couch 😅 , thank you for always giving me encouragement and motivation through your videos.
I really enjoy this kind of vlog 😍

Hi madeline, i’m lovely your videos. I’m learning English then sorry if i write some word wrong. I also be qa. I’m from to Brasil and in Brasil the test automation yep not common, but some enterprise are implementing. Do you learning test automation because your company have test automation or because you thought interesting? ❤
hello maam, I also want to be QA and learning now how to build programs just like you do, I suggest if you build logic then you can start to learn keyboard automation module called pyautogui from python and that is useful for automating repeated inputs using keyboards
Nice video, have good day my friends

Hi, I'm enjoying your videos I had a question about the coding. Are you learning code in G as a part of your MA program for clinical mental health?
Hi Madeline! What happened with automation? Have you any progress? Share your experience, pls!
Hi Madeline. Since you have been back working as a QA Engineer, how challenging has it been for you ? What kind of challenges you have faced so far ? Honestly speaking any kind of Testing is seriously really challenging more often than not. Testing is not really supposed to be easy , isn't it???? 😁
Love your channel. For some reason I just joined a boot camp for software qa testing. Do you think age 40 is too old for a career change? Pls be honest Lol

It's so hard getting a job without experience. Should I give up on QA? :/
