As a fresher, this question arises first in your mind - Whether we should opt for the Testing role or the Development role. I’ve worked as a Software Engineer for 5 years. Below I shared my knowledge and experience in both roles.
Developer - A developer understands the requirement first and then provides a solution through coding. Once the solution is developed for the requirement, they will do a small unit test too.
Tester - A tester also understands the requirement first and tests whether the developed functionality satisfies the requirement needed.
If you wonder which is best among these two, I would say the developer role is best. But for most people, a testing role suits more than a developing role.

What I’ve noticed recently is that it’s no anymore like developer and tester roles are two different ones. It’s becoming combined. All developers have testing knowledge and even all testers need partial knowledge of a developer. Because an automation tester also needs Html, CSS, and java script knowledge.
Now I hope you have some kind of idea about which role is better for you among testing and development. If you are a tester/developer share your thoughts down below👇.
