Basic knowledge base for a junior tester? What is required in your companies? Girl 23 years old.

Answer 1

The first thing you need is the ability to search and find answers to your questions.
In particular, there are many answers to yours, for example, What knowledge is needed to start working as a tester?
Otherwise:
1) a general idea of ​​the development process, technologies (if the web client is a server architecture and all things, if the platform is then read about the device of the platform)
2) testing theory: what is a bug / defect, classifications, how to write a bug report . What are test cases-test-step-test suites and other buzzwords, in short: how to write tests.
3) test design: basic practices at the level of approximate understanding.
4) working with the database at the level of selects and other simple things.

Answer 2

It's a good practice to gain experience in freelancing: you take an interesting project for a test and study.
For example here:
www.free-lance.ru;
www.utest.com;
www.fixber.com.
Pluses - you can get money for found bugs. Well, experience on real projects!
Cons - you need to more or less speak English, write bugs in it (and make it normal and readable!). To earn at least some money, you need to earn a reputation.
Of course, at the same time, read the literature (good examples are written above)
I can also advise:
software-testing.ru/forum/index.php?/topic/19790-o... - Open source project that needs testers - a useful link.
software-testing.ru/forum/index.php?/forum/736-pro... - Hamsters is a project aimed specifically at gaining experience for beginners.
software-testing.ru/forum/index.php?/topic/32593-b... - Free practice in testing - a topic on the forum, which is replenished with links, there is now just an open-source project and "Hamsters".
