 Testing Techniques: Understand black-box (functionality testing) and white-box
(internal testing) techniques.

reproduction steps, expected vs. actual results).

 Postman: Test APIs manually without coding, using Postman's simple interface.

3. Focus on Real-world Scenarios

 Create Test Cases: Write test cases based on the software requirements.
 Test Documentation: Document test plans, test cases, and bug reports.
 Perform Manual Tests: Execute tests on the software to identify issues (bugs, UI
problems, etc.).

4. Learn about Test Automation (Optional)

 Cypress: A beginner-friendly automation tool for web applications.


 Katalon Studio: Offers an intuitive interface to start automating tests with minimal
coding knowledge.
