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 ?

[Videege]

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?

[Xenon]

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.

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?

[Videege]

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

[Xenon]

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

then i will for sure

[CyberCoder]

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.
