Less Technical Career Options for Testers

Some software Testers may get tired of a long career in testing or do not want to pursue a career technical career, such as becoming an automation specialist, or a developer. Such software testers can go on to become product owners, business analysts, scrum masters, project (program or product) managers, or engineering managers. There are many other non-technical roles to choose from, but here I will focus on the most common ones. Let us explore these non-technical career options and dive into the details of each of them.

I prepared more than I needed to prepare, I like to play it safe. A lot of people have been asking me how I prepared for the exam so that gave me the idea to put together this blog post with a few tips. Since this is an entry-level exam it's not too hard, compared to more specialized certification exams. It covers the basic cloud literacy and basic knowledge about Microsoft Azure, its services, and products.
