#how to become a qa tester for computers

[amaryllis-sagitta]

In retrospective, the shift whose culmination we see today seems to be about making hardware more uniform and the system infrastructure less opaque to anyone who isn't a developer.

Looking back as a millennial, I feel like the Gen-X are the most literate computer-wise because they dealt with all the weird pre-Windows systems and physical LAN party setups before the Internet at homes became fast enough to hold online gaming. Still, it's strange to read posts like this as a Millennial who was taught to use a PC in primary school because it was a new thing for the entire generation, and then I had to pass this knowledge on to teach my own parents to send an email and not to panic whenever "my window disappeared".

What I see in my boomer parents is a sort of a mental blockade from engaging with a typical window-based UI, like every time you could literally read something on the menu and click accordingly to perform an unknown activity, my mum has a little meltdown and wants to be taught the activity step by step so she can perform it by muscle memory. The greatest peril of my mum's boomer PC experience is that she doesn't watch what's going on on her screen outside the application in focus, she is not used to interactivity on a basic level, a robust system UI is too much for her because you need to learn to "dwell" in a structure of a certain complexity, you need to get used to the thought that a PC has a massive hidden side among all the nested folders, settings and policies. I think my dad has less problems with using a PC because he had vocational technical education before, he understands mechanical schematics and electrical installation charts and abstract structures of that sort. A classic menu is a little like this.

As a kid, I was taught basics of the structure of a pre-XP Windows system. I was taught a common technique to type using as many fingers as possible, without looking at the keyboard as you do it. I was taught how to use the Office suite, how to build a simple website using the ugliest incarnation of HTML, and how to push it to the teacher's host using a FTP manager. I was even taught basics of programming in one of the code-free visual gamified editors made solely for teaching purposes. All of it to familiarize us with a certain innate logic of software that was norm at the time.

Even as an IT worker nowadays, accessing most things I need on mobile devices as a QA tester is locked behind a hidden procedure of enabling Developer tools, and even then, if you look at the folder structure on the device when accessing it from your PC, the said structure is more code-like and obviously not meant for any end user. Or, I need to use workarounds through third party applications like iTunes to even access some stuff in the first place. iOS is a true nightmare when it comes to trying access the things Apple does not want an average end user to access.

What mostly changed since my childhood is that hardware is becoming uniform to the point building your own PC and setting it up to work is easy and foolproof, and Windows is trying to be quicker in providing some template behaviors and more "transparent" in its inner workings. The mobile device design simplified user experience to the levels of "Go to store, download app, tap and swipe, the system takes care of everything else". At the same time, the systems are more intrusive, and they heavily discourage messing around and finding out. Everything is meant to be done from the status bar, or a popup that appears right at your main screen.

Teaching my parents smartphones was a different experience insofar as notifications and popups from Android keep appearing without their consent, so to speak. They feel like they have no agency over their own phone, all they want is to make a call, the entire device with its apps and ads and intrusive messages is the enemy, and "they don't want IT" (where "IT" is an SMS from the provider, a system update notification, a push notification, information about used data, there's too many icons again, there's too much everything, yada yada). Once they learned the basics of using a laptop to click things on an Internet browser, phones started to be the opposite thing.

So this was originally a response to this post:

****

Which is about people wanting an AO3 app, but then it became large and way off topic, so here you go.

Nobody under the age of 20 knows how to use a computer or the internet. At all. They only know how to use apps. Their whole lives are in their phones or *maybe* a tablet/iPad if they're an artist. This is becoming a huge concern.

I'm a private tutor for middle- and high-school students, and since 2020 my business has been 100% virtual. Either the student's on a tablet, which comes with its own series of problems for screen-sharing and file access, or they're on mom's or dad's computer, and they have zero understanding of it.

They also don't know what the internet is, or even the absolute basics of how it works. You might not think that's an important thing to know, but stick with me.

Last week I accepted a new student. The first session is always about the tech -- I tell them this in advance, that they'll have to set up a few things, but once we're set up, we'll be good to go. They all say the same thing -- it won't be a problem because they're so "online" that they get technology easily.

I never laugh in their faces, but it's always a close thing. Because they are expecting an app. They are not expecting to be shown how little they actually know about tech.

I must say up front: this story is not an outlier. This is *every* student during their first session with me. Every single one. I go through this with each of them because most of them learn more, and more solidly, via discussion and discovery rather than direct instruction.

Once she logged in, I asked her to click on the icon for screen-sharing. I described the icon, then started with "Okay, move your mouse to the bottom right corner of the screen." She did the thing that those of us who are old enough to remember the beginnings of widespread home computers remember - picked up the mouse and moved it and then put it down. I explained she had to pull the mouse along the surface, and then click on the icon. She found this cumbersome. I asked if she was on a laptop or desktop computer. She didn't know what I meant. I asked if the computer screen was connected to the keyboard as one piece of machinery that you can open and close, or if there was a monitor - like a TV - and the keyboard was connected to another machine either by cord or by Bluetooth. Once we figured it out was a laptop, I asked her if she could use the touchpad, because it's similar (though not equivalent) to a phone screen in terms of touching clicking and dragging.

Once we got her using the touchpad, we tried screen-sharing again. We got it working, to an extent, but she was having trouble with... lots of things. I asked if she could email me a download or a photo of her homework instead, and we could both have a copy, and talk through it rather than put it on the screen, and we'd worry about learning more tech another day. She said she tried, but her email blocked her from sending anything to me.

This is because the only email address she has is for school, and she never uses email for any other purpose. I asked if her mom or dad could email it to me. They weren't home.

(Re: school email that blocks any emails not whitelisted by the school: that's great for kids as are all parental controls for young ones, but 16-year-olds really should be getting used to using an email that belongs to them, not an institution.)

I asked if the homework was on a paper handout, or in a book, or on the computer. She said it was on the computer. Great! I asked her where it was saved. She didn't know. I asked her to search for the name of the file. She said she already did that and now it was on her screen. Then, she said to me: "You can just search for it yourself - it's Chapter 5, page 11."

This is because homework is on the school's website, in her math class's homework section, which is where she searched. For her, that was "searching the internet."

Her concepts of "on my computer" "on the internet" or "on my school's website" are all the same thing. If something is displayed on the monitor, it's "on the internet" and "on my phone/tablet/computer" and "on the school's website."

She doesn't understand "upload" or "download," because she does her homework on the school's website and hits a "submit" button when she's done. I asked her how she shares photos and stuff with friends; she said she posts to Snapchat or TikTok, or she AirDrops. (She said she sometimes uses Insta, though she said Insta is more "for old people"). So in her world, there's a button for "post" or "share," and that's how you put things on "the internet".

She doesn't know how it works. None of it. And she doesn't know how to use it, either.

Also, none of them can type. Not a one. They don't want to learn how, because "everything is on my phone."

And you know, maybe that's where we're headed. Maybe one day, everything will be on "my phone" and computers as we know them will be a thing of the past. But for the time being, they're not. Students need to learn how to use computers. They need to learn how to type. No one is telling them this, because people think teenagers are "digital natives." And to an extent, they are, but the definition of that has changed radically in the last 20-30 years. Today it means "everything is on my phone."

Career Switching to Tech in 2025: Is It Too Late?

Published by Prism HRC – Leading IT Recruitment Agency in Mumbai

If you’ve been working outside the tech world and you’re wondering whether it’s too late to jump in, stop right there. It’s not. In fact, 2025 might be the perfect year to make that switch, and no, you don’t need a computer science degree or a time machine.

You need a plan, a few skills, and the right mindset.

Why Tech Still Wants You

There’s a common myth that tech companies only want young coders straight out of engineering colleges. That couldn’t be further from the truth. Today’s tech industry wants problem-solvers, communicators, analysts, designers, strategists, and storytellers. If you’ve been in marketing, HR, education, customer service, or finance, you’re bringing a skill set that tech actually needs.

Tech isn't only about coding. It’s about building things that work for real people. Your past experience isn’t irrelevant; it's part of your edge.

Where Can You Fit?

Here are some common roles that career switchers are landing right now, and none of them require you to become a full-time developer (unless you want to):

Data Analyst – Learn Excel, SQL, and dashboards. If you love patterns and solving puzzles with numbers, this is for you.

UI/UX Designer – Focus on how apps and websites feel to users. Creative minds with a bit of empathy thrive here.

QA Tester – Every app needs testing. If you’re detail-oriented, this role is a great way to break into IT.

Technical Writer – If you can explain things clearly, you can create documentation and guides for complex tools.

Product Analyst or Project Coordinator – If you’ve worked in operations or business roles before, this could be your sweet spot.

Cloud Support or Cybersecurity Trainee – With just a few certifications, these are very real and very hireable paths.

What You Really Need to Get Started

Let’s keep this simple. You don’t need 10 years of experience or fancy degrees. What you need is proof that you’ve learned the basics and can apply them.

Here’s your 2025 action plan:

Pick one tech path — Don’t try to learn everything at once. Start small and stay focused.

Find one good course — Stick to platforms like Coursera, Udemy, or Google’s career certificates.

Build two mini-projects — Whether it’s a data dashboard or a simple wireframe, projects matter more than words on a resume.

Update your resume and LinkedIn — Make your new direction clear. Use words like “transitioning to tech” and back it up with what you’ve done.

Start applying and networking — You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to be visible.

You’re Not the Only One Doing This

At Prism HRC, we’ve worked with dozens of professionals who switched into tech roles in their late 20s, 30s, and even 40s. A high school teacher became a UI designer. A bank employee learned QA and landed a job in 4 months. A BCom graduate now works in data analytics with no coding background, just consistent effort.

What do all of them have in common? They didn’t overthink. They started.

Will It Be Easy?

No. But neither is staying in a career that no longer excites you.

You’ll feel uncertain. You’ll question yourself. That’s all part of it. But with the right direction and some patience, it’s possible. Tech isn’t closing its doors. It’s opening new ones all the time for people willing to learn and adapt.

Final Word from Prism HRC

If you’re still reading, you’re already ahead of most people who only think about switching careers but never act on it. Don’t let overthinking keep you stuck.

Start with one course. Build one project. Apply to one job. That’s how it begins.

And if you need help navigating this journey, Prism HRC is here for you. We don’t just place people in tech; we help them transition, grow, and thrive.

How AI Is Shaping the Future of Test Automation 

In today’s hyper-competitive digital environment, software development cycles are shorter, user expectations are higher, and the margin for error is razor-thin. To keep up, organizations have adopted test automation as a critical part of their quality assurance (QA) strategies. However, traditional test automation methods often fall short in scalability, adaptability, and efficiency. Enter Artificial Intelligence (AI).

AI is changing the game in software testing by introducing a new level of intelligence and automation. From smarter test creation to predictive analytics, AI is helping QA teams move beyond repetitive scripting into a more strategic and proactive role. This blog explores how AI is reshaping the landscape of test automation and what the future holds, especially with GhostQA, your go-to AI-powered test automation solution.

1. Smarter Test Case Generation

One of the most labor-intensive aspects of testing is creating and maintaining test cases. Traditionally, QA engineers would manually write test scripts based on requirements and user stories. With AI, this process becomes significantly faster and more intelligent.

Machine learning models can analyze source code, historical test data, and user behavior to generate relevant and high-coverage test cases. These AI-generated tests focus on the most commonly used features and identify edge cases that might otherwise go untested.

Example: Tools like Testim, Functionize, and TestCraft use AI to suggest test scenarios based on how users interact with the application, ensuring more meaningful test coverage.

2. Self-Healing Test Scripts

Test maintenance is another major hurdle in automation. A small change in the UI — like renaming a button or changing a field’s position — can cause test scripts to fail. AI addresses this issue through what are called self-healing tests.

Self-healing automation frameworks use machine learning to detect when a UI element has changed and automatically update the test scripts accordingly. This eliminates the need for testers to constantly fix broken tests, thereby improving stability and reducing downtime.

Example: AI-based platforms like Mabl and Testim recognize page elements not just by their static identifiers but also by their behavior, attributes, and surrounding context.

3. Predictive Analytics for Risk-Based Testing

AI can analyze past testing data and identify patterns that indicate where failures are most likely to occur. This is particularly helpful in large-scale enterprise environments where running every test case may be impractical.

By using predictive analytics, QA teams can prioritize testing efforts on high-risk areas of the application, focusing resources where they are most needed. This leads to faster feedback cycles and more efficient test planning.

Example: AI algorithms can analyze commit histories, previous defects, and test results to flag potentially risky code changes that require deeper testing.

4. Visual Validation with Computer Vision

Traditional automation frameworks struggle with UI validation, often relying on pixel-based comparisons that are brittle and error-prone. AI, specifically computer vision, brings a new dimension to visual testing.

AI-driven visual validation tools can detect layout shifts, misalignments, and color inconsistencies with far greater accuracy. They understand the structure of the user interface and can even validate responsiveness across devices and screen sizes.

Example: Applitools uses Visual AI to compare baseline and current UI states, highlighting only meaningful visual differences and ignoring minor, non-critical changes.

5. Natural Language Processing for Test Creation

AI-powered Natural Language Processing (NLP) makes it easier for non-technical team members to contribute to test automation. Instead of writing complex scripts, users can write test cases in plain English.

The AI engine interprets the intent and context of these instructions and converts them into executable test scripts. This democratizes the testing process and enhances collaboration between QA, development, and business stakeholders.

Example: Tools like TestRigor and Katalon Studio allow test scripts to be created using natural language, dramatically lowering the barrier to entry for test automation.

6. Continuous Testing in CI/CD Pipelines

In DevOps environments, continuous testing is essential to ensure rapid releases without compromising quality. AI enhances CI/CD pipelines by automatically analyzing build logs, detecting flaky tests, and providing intelligent insights.

AI-driven test orchestration platforms can dynamically decide which tests to run based on code changes, impact analysis, and historical failure rates. This leads to faster, more reliable deployments.

Example: Intelligent test orchestration tools like Launchable and TestGrid use AI to reduce test cycle times and prioritize execution based on test impact.

7. The Human + AI Collaboration

It’s important to emphasize that AI is not replacing human testers but augmenting their capabilities. While AI can handle repetitive, time-consuming tasks, human testers bring critical thinking, creativity, and domain expertise to the table.

By automating mundane aspects of testing, AI frees up QA teams to focus on exploratory testing, UX validation, and strategic decision-making. This synergy leads to better software and a more empowered QA workforce.

Conclusion

The integration of AI in test automation is no longer a futuristic concept — it’s happening right now. AI is making testing faster, smarter, and more efficient by automating routine tasks, improving accuracy, and enabling proactive quality management.

As tools continue to evolve, organizations that embrace AI-driven testing, like those provided by GhostQA, will have a significant competitive edge. The future of QA is not just automated; it’s intelligent.
