Working on Self-Healing Algorithm with AI | 30K+ Linkedin Family | LinkedIn Community Top Voice | Top 1% & mentored more than 400+ professionals with Postman Integration with Jenkins & Github
I am contributing in Topmate since March
I am trying to help as much QA Engineer as possible
Most of them don't have any proper guidance in career growth
They are struggling in getting advice
I don't say advice will help them in getting Job.
Atleast they get the right path to tackle the situation.
Most of the people don't know the basic Interview Questions.
They focused mostly on complex questions but forgot to prepare the simple topics.
For example:
Difference between 400 and 404
Difference between findElements() and findElement()
Difference between STLC and SDLC
Be focused on topics like these
P.S: topmate.ioAnkit Agarwal are doing great job in helping professionals in the field of learning
Happy Testing :)

" Overcoming Challenges: My Journey into the Test Automation World"
After discovering the potential of Test Automation during a pivotal conversation, the next phase of my career was filled with numerous challenges and opportunities for growth.
Back in 2015, Test Automation Engineering was still a new and emerging field, and at VD, we didn’t have a dedicated Test Automation Engineer at the time. We were all exploring different tools, trying to find what worked. Both web and mobile automation were uncharted territories. Progress was slow, and at times, finding solutions felt almost impossible.
I had to dive into automation and learn the tools on my own, but I was never truly alone. Our Senior developers were my guiding light—always there to point me in the right direction and show me how to find the solutions on my own. Their support wasn’t just technical; it gave me the confidence to keep pushing forward, even when things seemed impossible.
One of the most crucial elements of my early career success was the incredible support and learning culture around me. VentureDive culture was extremely supportive and friendly. My mentors and seniors weren’t just helpful—they were the driving force behind my growth. Even with all the challenges, the team always had my back, pushing me to keep learning and evolving. With their support, I was able to dive headfirst into automation and master what once seemed impossible.
This was the real beginning of my Test Automation journey.
Lesson:
- The key takeaway for fresh grads is to find a company that helps you grow and learn. Look for a place that feels like home, where you're encouraged to try new things and take risks.
Suggestion :
- I always recommend fresh grads to join startups, where you can dream big and build from the ground up. In a startup, you'll learn 100 times more than anywhere else.
- Also, find great mentors and seniors who will lift you up and help you grow.
I also want to take a moment to sincerely thank my seniors - Noman Ali Khan, Aamir Ali, Khizar Alam, Jawad Hyder, Shuayb Khan, Syed Osama, Muhammad Asad Ahsan —for their incredible guidance and support during my early career days.

How a Football Match Changed My Career Path 🏈
Back in 2015, I graduated from National University of Computer and Emerging Sciences with big dreams of joining major ventures, and VentureDive was where many of my friends and batchmates landed. I always imagined myself working as a developer, but fate had other plans. I started my journey as a QA Engineer.
For a whole year, I worked diligently as a QA but kept finding ways to contribute to development projects on the side. My turning point came during a casual football match against 10Pearls Pakistan. In a conversation with one of Careem's architects, Lamak Qaizar, he shared an insight that altered my career direction. He mentioned how it's rare to find a good Test Automation Engineer, but developers are a bit easy to find.
That advice reshaped my focus. Instead of resisting my role, I embraced the challenge, seeing the potential in becoming a specialist in an area that was much needed but less explored.
Sometimes, all it takes is a single conversation to open your eyes to new opportunities. This was my first career clue, guiding me toward a path I never expected to follow.
More to come on my journey ahead...

Today, I am excited to share a new and thrilling phase of my career: last week, I started the QA Engineer course at LumeStack and I am steering my career even further into the technology field. This is a moment of great challenge and significance for me, as I have always been passionate about technology and innovation. I believe that my educational background and market experience, combined with the knowledge I will acquire, will provide me with a comprehensive and strategic perspective as a QA.
Since the beginning of my career, technology has always been present. One of my qualifications is a technical degree in data processing from COTEMIG - Colégio e Faculdade School. Back when I studied data processing (a few years ago), I already knew that technology would be the transformative tool of the world. My involvement with the innovation ecosystem, acting as a business strategy mentor for startups, is further proof of this passion.
I am immensely happy and grateful to start this new journey as a QA Engineer. Every step of my professional path has contributed to bringing me here, from technical training to working in various customer-focused areas. I believe that this rich experience will be crucial for my success in this new stage.
I invite all of you to follow this new phase of my career. I will be sharing my experiences, learnings, and insights about the transition to the QA field here on LinkedIn. I hope that my journey can inspire and assist other professionals who are also seeking new opportunities and challenges in the dynamic world of technology.
