Why Live Projects Matter
Working on live projects allows you to:
Gain practical experience and improve your problem-solving skills.
Build a portfolio that demonstrates your capabilities to recruiters.
Practice teamwork and project documentation, just like in real jobs.
Understand how testing fits into the software development life cycle (SDLC).
Final Thoughts
Live projects bridge the gap between learning and working. After completing a testing tools course, take time to apply your knowledge to real-world scenarios. Whether it’s a dummy e-commerce website or an open-source app, every project you complete adds to your credibility as a QA professional.
If you're enrolled in a training institute, ask if they provide live project support or internships—it can make a big difference in landing your first job in software testing.
