Hi,is anyone here a Software Tester by profession.It would be awesome to know what kind of work you are getting into as I consider it one of my career choices after I finish my degree.

Not a tester.
I have worked with testers and helped some of them out with and without scrum teams.

If you’re lucky and roll in a company that has CI covered, it’d be good to know something about automated testing.

Teach yourself Selenium or cucumberjs for example. I’ve created a cheatsheet for that at cheatsheet.com btw.

In a sprint, a testers job is to make sure you test that what’s in the scope of the ticket, so the ticket goes to done or needs rework as soon as possible.

Once you’re familiar with the app/project itself. You’ll likely know where things might break elsewhere.

If you roll in a different environment. Take full commitment and start writing your own automated tests. The main task remains. Test what is within the scope of the ticket or you’ll waste time.

@Floydian Hi,so I wanted to know whether automated testing is a job by itself or does title "software test engineer" a blanket term for manual testing and automated testing.I really enjoy creating selenium webdriver scripts and I've tried a few other test frameworks.
