Possible switch from developer to tester?

I was recently introduced to the world of automated testing.  I’m intrigued by the idea of being able to write code and also watching the test do its work.  I hated tests when I was in school…so to say I like testing feels a little weird!

I worked with a colleague tester to learn a little about Selenium.  Watching it just click through the screen like it was a user was amazing.  What was more amazing was how simple the code looked. 


Writing code is difficult sometimes and I am sure that writing automated tests has tough spots as well (testing can never be that straightforward….in middle school or in coding!).  But the code looked very simple to read.  I am going to explore more on writing automated tests with Selenium to see if it is as easy at it may seem.  More to come later……
