Please give me some advice about my career. Right now i m working in a organisation as programmer. But i dont have any sort of intrest in programming. I like testing and passionate about it. I have 1 yr experience till now. Please tell me how to switch profile from development to testing. Also tell me the future scope in testing. And i would also like to know whether my 1 yr work exp in development will be useful in testing or they will treat me as a fresher? I am very confused. If i try to move into testing in my own company they said that there is no requirement in testing right now. I have really lost my piece of mind working as programmer. Every morning when i leave for the office i really afraid whether the work assigned to me will be completed or not. I want a job in IT which have less coding bt as well as good package also. Please suggest me what to do.
Eagerly awaiting your precious advice
Sainath's Advice on Sunday, October 14, 2012 :
Hi,
It is evident that programming is not your cup of tea. You can target testing as an option - initially, your 1 year of programming experience will not be considered, but after some months of actual testing work it will not be a problem. To answer the 2nd part of your question. please refer to the links below:

Dear Rajesh,
It is not the case that i do not want to do coding at all. Thing is that i can do coding but not so deeply. I can comfortably do work on C# as i am doing this for last 1 year but i feel i am not so fast in development as i usually takes bit more time in developing application. But thing is that by doing this coding sometimes i really loss peace of mind . The only reason behind the shifting of path is just "i really like to do testing. I also looking for the automation testing but i have heared that for starting in testing field you hv to start from manual testing. I will definactly go for testing which includes some coding also but not so deeply coding as a developer does. Hope u will get my point and provide me precious advice.
Thanks & Regards:

Dear Sainath, Rajesh,
In various interview a question being asked by the interviewer that since you have been in development for 1 yr then why u want to shift into testing? usually i answers this question in a way that " i am passionate about testing so i want to join testing" but this answers doesn't justify for shifting into testing. Kindly suggest proper answer to this question so that i can answer such kind of question for further interviews. Eagerly waiting for your reply.
Thanks & Regards:
