ill be starting my university term from 2 months from now , soo i am thinking of taking up Engineering in Computer science. (cause it has the course for making ya a software tester) , so is the scope of being a tester good ? cause im really interested in becoming one.

and yea what all do i need to be the ultimate tester ?

Are you going into software testing because you want to, or because you think its the only thing you can do with a CSC/E degree?

well i have only two options here

either i take up Infomation Technology and just do computer applications

and Engineering in Computer Science, includes a lot of courses of which testing is a part ( learning languages of all sorts too etc etc)
Yea i DO want to be a tester.

Ok here's the course im taking, i hope it makes thing clear.

that;s about it.

Course for MS?
Dude....you're in Class 12.
Maybe this is your future plan....you might need a B.E first...or probably an equivalent if you plan to study abroad.
Which University are you planning to study?

maybe his college offers one of those simultaneous B.S + M.S things.

exactly.

PS: im applying at VIT (vellore, chennai)

Oh...alright...but you gotta slog ur ass off in these 2 months...cuz u gotta pass with flying colours in the VIT Entrance Exam.

Oh yes. dont forget AIEEE and others too

Maybe you could test some of my games, because I plan to make games in the future.

Dude, its at least 5 years till im a pro or something

then i will for sure

Yeah, np, I'll wait .

You do not actually need much experience and education to become a beta tester. MS hire them at free will. lol.
