Manual Tester job search builder

Manual testing roles are often titled Software Tester, Test Analyst, QA Analyst or Quality Analyst. Many ask for some automation or SQL, so include those in your skills.

1. Job titles to include

The same job is advertised under many names. Tick every title you would accept.

2. Skills

Tick the tools you know. Jobs need to mention at least one.

3. Leave out
4. Where, how experienced, how recent

Your search string

Paste this into the search box on LinkedIn (it understands AND, OR, NOT).

("Manual Tester" OR "Software Tester" OR "Test Engineer" OR "QA Analyst" OR "Quality Analyst" OR "Test Analyst")

These open each site's own public search page in a new tab. The sites do not publish their link formats, so a filter can be ignored or change without notice. If something looks off, set it on the site.

Manual Tester job search: titles and filters for manual testing roles

Manual testing roles are often titled Software Tester, Test Analyst, QA Analyst or Quality Analyst. Many ask for some automation or SQL, so include those in your skills.

Other names for this job: Software Tester, Test Engineer, QA Analyst, Quality Analyst, Test Analyst.

Tips for this search

  • Use the fresher or 1 to 3 year filter and the last-week filter to see new openings first.
  • Add SQL, API testing and Jira to the any-of group: they are common in manual roles and show up in descriptions.
  • Exclude trainee or unpaid internships if you are looking for a paid position.

How the search string works

Titles are joined with OR, so any of them matches. Skills you tick are another OR group, and skills you mark as required are joined with AND. Words to exclude get NOT (or a minus sign on Indeed and Google). LinkedIn understands this syntax in its search box; Naukri does not document one, so its links search one title at a time.

Questions

Why search for several job titles at once?

The same testing job is advertised as QA Engineer, Software Tester, Test Engineer, SDET, Automation Engineer, Quality Analyst and more. A search for one title misses the others, so the builder joins them with OR.

Does this tool search the job sites for me?

No. It builds a search string and links that open each site's own public search page in your browser. Nothing is collected from LinkedIn, Naukri or Indeed, and nothing you enter is sent to our server.

Why did a filter not apply on the site?

LinkedIn, Naukri and Indeed do not publish official specifications for their search links, and they can ignore or change parameters. If a filter such as experience or date is missing, set it on the site's page.

What do AND, OR and NOT mean?

OR widens the search (any of these titles). AND narrows it (this and that). NOT removes results that contain a word. Brackets group them, and quotes keep a phrase together.
