Software Testers; what’s your New Year resolution?


I reckon it’s always a good notion to have some resolutions. It helps us to achieve our professional and personal goals. As we are entering into the New Year; I believe this is the perfect time to set up some resolutions.

So.... Software Testers; what’s your New Year resolution?

Take a look at below mind map which encompasses some of the areas which you can target.



Software Testing Events
You may plan to attend (as Speaker or Participant) Software Testing events such as Conferences, Meetups, & Webinars.

Software Testing Competitions
If you are passionate about Software Testing and want to challenge yourself, then you may plan to participate in Software Testing competitions such as BugATAhon (a Crowd Testing competition organized by Agile Testing Alliance), AutomATAhon (an Automation Testing competition organized by Agile Testing Alliance), BlogATAhon (a blog writing completion organized by Agile Testing Alliance), TestAutothon (an Automation Testing competition organized by STeP-IN Forum). You may also look for relevant competitions in your country or region.

Programming Languages
You may plan to learn (from basic to advanced level) programming languages such as Java, Python, or any other popular programming language which is useful for Software Testers in Automation Testing.

Tools
If you are a Manual tester and want to start with Automation Testing then you can think of Tools such as Selenium, Sahi Pro, or any other Automation Testing tool which is currently in demand by the industry.


Certifications
If you reckon that Certifications can add value to your knowledge, then you can plan for Software Testing Certifications, Agile Certifications, or DevOps Certifications.

New Technologies
As we all know that everyday things are changing so fast and hence you may want to learn new technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), Internet Bot (Web Robot), Robotics Process Automation (RPA), Machine Learning (ML), Big Data, Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), Cloud Computing, Data Science etc. You may also want to learn how Software Testing can contribute in these new technologies, what are the required skills for Software Testers.  

Software Testing Blogs
If you are passionate about Software Testing and love to share your knowledge & information with the community, then you can start writing blogs on Software Testing, Automation Testing, Software Testing Processes or Tools etc.

I have set up some resolutions for myself in each of the areas mentioned above. What’s your New Year resolution? Is there any area you would like to add to the above list or want to add some points to any of the areas mentioned above? Please comment below with your thoughts.

Note
If you are planning for any Software Testing Certifications or Agile Certifications or want to attend any Software Testing Conference then please take a look at my relevant blog posts as below.
