| Aug 14, 2014 at 14:35 | comment | added | Peter M. - stands for Monica | @PaulDonny I agree that it is helpful to have some understanding of HTML/CSS if you want to write automated tests for web applications, but it is gravy. Main skills are coding, module/OO design and debugging. Which is very different from a way of thinking of a graphic designer, an artist in the core. | |
| Aug 8, 2014 at 19:09 | comment | added | ernie | Most of these answers focus on tools - the big issue I see with most of our new hires is that they're not good testers. They don't think about edge cases, understand the why when they're running a test case. When you ask them to test a new feature, they do a smoke test and think that the feature is tested, etc. | |
| Aug 7, 2014 at 11:37 | comment | added | Paul Muir | Peter, While using CSS and HTML may be quite rare, knowing it is a big plus since a lot of testing will be web based and will help out when attempting to either automate or find the root cause for a defect. The rest of your statement I do completely agree with though. | |

| Aug 6, 2014 at 16:15 | comment | added | user8467 | Yes, I am sure. I don't expect to be easy and I have analytical thinking. This is what I wish to learn and to do. | |
| Aug 6, 2014 at 16:10 | comment | added | Peter M. - stands for Monica | HTML/CSS skills will point to career using creativity, like graphic design. Do you consider yourself more artist with creative thinking, or more engineer/scientist with analytical thinking? Do you like algebra? People on this forum do testing, mostly automated, which requires programming and very analytical thinking, and all advice will be skewed that way. Even if true tester should question assumptions :-) Testers need very little HTML and CSS skills - just to understand what is going on, but rarely creating any user-facing pages. Are you sure that you want do testing? | |
