I have 5 yrs experience in s/w Development,now i want to shift to Testing. will my experience be considered? which course i should take up?

Hi Hrishikesh, Well no experience is small or go waste. Your experience as a software developer might not help you much theoretically but I am sure during the 5 years you must be well versed in time management, managerial skills, work aptitude and organizational environment. So do not loose heart

Shifting from development to testing is normally unusual but certainly your development experience will help you immensely in testing and finding bugs . In testing training you will be introduced to various testing tool as well .
