Hi All, I am facing one issue in charles proxy. when i allow ssl proxy to see the content in plain text for a request. then the website on which i applied ssl proxy it shows your connection is not private. i added trust certificate also. can anyone help me with this ?

Perfect real time example, it really helped me. Thank you

Sweet, finally some examples to put into real context all these abstract barbaric terms :)

Great episode and it is always interesting listening

so what about the art of software testing book???

Hello Nicola, Thanks for sharing this. Launched a few years ago in India, Qualitician is a Software Testing Job Board, a platform for job seekers to find software testing jobs and for businesses to find and hire software testing talent.

Came here from LinkedIn, great video and totally agree with your points. - Software tester from Denmark 🇩🇰

Congrats on 1K subscribers

From my personal experience, social skills and communication are very important in another way from what you have described even though what point you mention are very important. With the current tech industry is trending towards AI the abstraction layer is getting larger and in my opinion it is very important for a tester to understand the working of any software or tool by getting involved in the entire process from design to customer feedback and support for with the above skills are extremely important. Else testing will more trend towards black box testing which in my opinion is not good for a tester's career

Since I've published the video, Ministry of Testing no longer has a slack instance.

@NicolaLindgren this is a great resource, a quick point to note MOT| has moved from the slack channel and now only focused on discourse

How early would you say automation should be integrated in a project i have seen alot of differing opinions on this particular topic but would love to hear your opinion

Great episode.

Thank you for the tips 😊

Very valuable tips Nicola 🙂👍

Thank you. Very useful review of this tool

Thank you so much this is exactly what I do,do you feel test automation university is enough for a tester to know automation?😊

I would add. that you MUST have an answer for every statement in a desired job description. Who knows what is the most valuable for them. So you won't caught off guard.

#5 is a must for me. It shows enthusiasm for the role and company in addition to curiosity.

Which interview tips would you like to add? Let me know in the comments below!

Very helpful. Tnank you

Thx for your share.

Hey Nicola, I'm having trouble setting up the proxy on my phone as when I enter the local ip 4 address (which I also confirmed in my ipconfig). When I try to Safari, the wifi internet I proxy into will just cut off. Any thoughts on how to resolve?

What has been your experience in getting promoted as a software tester? What does your company look for?

I hope this video helps with prompts when you are writing your testing CV; especially if you are looking for your first role and you want to show how your experience is relevant (that you have transferrable skills). While I don't like to trust tools like this blindly, I think they can be great for triggering ideas.

I would also add to this that QA, in particular, benefit from being approachable. This is a positive for all team members usually, but QA in particular can be considered an "other" or "outsider" depending on the company culture. A great way to turn that around is by being a positive and helpful member of the team, regardless of QA responsibilities. This might mean doing something useful that's peripheral to what you do, like creating a helpful how-to doc about a tricky process, or a dashboard to help your team see helpful data about your work, or just striking up a conversation before a meeting to get to know your peers outside of the QA team a bit better. This can help make communication easier in the future, and helps others outside of the team bring issues to you that you may not have been able to catch or have had the perspective to even be aware of. I also believe that the chance to open up shows that you are multifaceted and not "just a tester" - many of us are so much more than that with varied and useful experience across many roles and teams, and have much insight to share once you get to know us.

That's a good point about giving developers a heads up in advance that a bug is coming their way. The ones I have worked with, also appreciate the approach. (not having other communication can give a "throw over the fence" sort of vibe eh)

Really enjoyed your video, as a QA Engineer I strongly believe what you mentioned in the video is really important for a QA/Tester to make a difference, but like you mentioned, even in today's world there are still companies/teams that don't see the value QA/tester can bring to a team, they simply expect them to catch bugs before a release and nothing else. I think a great tester also discusses the issues found before raising them. What I do when testing a ticket and I find bugs, I usually drop a message to the Dev that was responsible for the ticket and quickly explain my findings, just so they are aware and not caught by surprise if there a relatively big number of issues or if it's a major issue, I find that Devs usually appreciate this approach

Great video! Testing is the glue between product and development. Great communication is key!

Leading Quality and DevOps handbook are great books too for modern testing.

What do you think I'm missing? Which books do you think all software testers should read? Let me know in the comments below!

Please company offer visa sponsorship for software testers?

Your constantly breathing and swallowing into the mic is sooo annoying

I was looking to format the output to be readable and this video helped me

Can i automate charles to do a request with the data from a previus response quicly? like postman does?

I used Charles Proxy at a project a long time ago and it was a requirement for a position I am applying for, so this video was really helpful to refresh my knowledge, thank you very much!

Thank you so much for this! Can you also share some tips on what an entry-level QA tester should know, considering what skills are most in demand, and if it's possible to create sone kind of portfolio with spec projects?

Can you please make a video reviewing QA bootcamps, and are they a viable option for someone who cannot afford another college degree? Please look into these bootcamps: 1. Codemify 2. Practicum 3. Careerist 4. TestPro

Thanks

Thanks for sharing this precious knowledge.

"Test Frameworks are too powerful that even bad code still works fine" This statement is so true in my experience and with myself in my early automation days. Some times lines of code are given more importance that the logic and the test itself. I have reviewed tests which had 90 lines of code without a since Assert which make the test inaccurate. We know to code but don't know what is efficient code. Another fact that you mentioned wherein tester have to really work hard to be technical is also very true since we are(Maybe were) not taught programming skills when we are given training on testing. We are just taught to use libraries that already exists. More emphasis Should be give to give more technical training for testers. Would love to hear your thoughts on what the current/future career path for a tester is.
