People have wrong perception.As long there is s/w there 
will be testing. Since there are lot of people available in 
the market for testing and so the requirement may not sync. 
The market is stable now and people see it as downfall. My 
advice to all testers is upgrade your skills. Learn 
Automation tools,framwork,do certifications like ISTQB 
foundation and advanced levels, ITIL V3 certification etc.
This will help you in your career advancement.

All the best!!

The future for Testing is getting decreased considerably.
So, all Testers need to go to Programming side rather than
testing. The competition for Testers is very high.

People think that as long as Projects r there, testers also
will be there. S, that's true...but the strength will be
lessened as the s/w market is down.

So, for freshers, i advice not to go into Testing side.

In your case, as u have 3+ exp, u can continue with Testing
only!!!

if you have real time environment knowledge, then u must 
have to keep going on. And some of the peoples putting many 
a fake like me. So if u have the same problem then u might 
be change your track. Else if i'm wrong then keep going on 
with the same domain,


Thank u.
