3 Resources to Practice Manual Testing
A short list of websites and apps where you can practice your software testing skills
I know the biggest challenge for people who just started learning software testing is the lack of experience. You need the experience to get a job, but you need a job to get experience — see the problem?
I’m not saying that the resources I will show you can replace a real experience on a real project. Still, they should help you put into practice everything you probably read so many times about testing, finding defects, writing test cases, and so on, and provide some practical experience, to complement your theoretical knowledge.
FindBugs from UTest
The first website to practice is FindBugs. It’s a mock e-commerce site, with bugs planted inside. Once you identify a bug, a sample report will open with all the information needed:
It also provides a place where you can practice reporting bugs yourselves, and also some examples and types of bugs that you should find on the website.
Testing Challenges
This is a very fun one — this site provides 9 relevant testing challenges (not sure where challenge #3 disappeared):
They range from identifying test data, finding bugs, creating test cases, and applying black box testing techniques.
Live Manual Testing Project from Guru99
You need to subscribe for this one — it’s a really well-thought project that lasts for 13 days. You will receive 1 email daily with the task to perform before the next phase.
The tasks range from requirements analysis, test case design, test case execution, and bug reporting, to bug validation and regression testing.
What makes it valuable is that it really simulates the normal life cycle of a software development process, providing different versions of the application that you can test.
