Answer 6

For a helpful answer you need to specify the area in which you are / want to be a test automation engineer.

What kind of applications are you testing?
FE / BE? Web? SAP? APIs? There are thousands of possible flavours...
Which domain? Automotive, Aircraft and medical have quite different requirements than most others...

Thank you Sandra
I work for a Finance Company and I have tested FE/Web and and used sometimes Soap Ui

Answer 8

Finance, perfect, me too. For FE and Web you primarily need Java (e.g. for implementing selenium tests), JS and Python. You'll always need some SQL / noSQL knowledge, especially in finance sector due to tons of data to test and analyze. Python is useful for data analytics as well. R is a supercool language for QA topics in finance and provides many testing libraries and features. And if you are in touch with some SAP topics I recommend to take a look at the testing courses on openSAP.

Summary: Start dev basics with Java or JS, continue soon with either Python or R. Data science spread in where you are able to.

Great Advice 😁

Answer 10

Hi! If you're looking to boost your CV as a software tester, here are a few languages that are highly useful:

SQL – Definitely a must-know for testers, as you’ll often need to query databases to validate data and ensure everything is working correctly.

Python – Great for automating tests. It's easy to learn and has libraries like Selenium for web automation, PyTest for testing, etc.

Java – Common in test automation (especially with tools like Selenium and Appium), and widely used in many enterprise environments.
These are the most popular languages.
thank you
