What is Scrum and what is Agile?

I have a very basic understanding of what Agile is. I read over the Agile manifesto but I am still having a hard time fully understanding how it fits into software development. I have no real idea what Scrum or being a "Scrum Master" means. Ive heard the terms used before when referring to the development of a software product, but I cant visualize the actual objective of the role. Can anyone expand on these terms?

What does a software testing engineer do and how do you become one?

I'm learning html, css and javascript on my own and starting to look at job postings to see which areas of technology most interest me. I thought I'd be going the route of web development but I came across a post for a Manual Automation Tester and it sounds so interesting. Here's the description: "The team is looking for a test engineer that can help ensure the team produces quality deliveries. The services that this team creates will be in a microservice architecture, running in Kubernetes on AWS. The services will handle millions of REST calls per day. The service work will be primarily greenfield (created from the ground-up). The project management style is Agile, with elements of both Kanban and Scrum. The role of the Test engineer is to perform black box testing of the REST services, with a focus on functional testing. This includes alpha testing, acceptance testing, ad-hoc testing, and back-end validate of databases. The Test engineer will work closely with developers on a daily basis." Can someone please tell me in plain English what this job actually is? I'm a really detail oriented person and I might like this field, but I barely know what they're talking about, lol. I've heard of Agile but not clear on what it is. Many thanks! #computers #software #engineering #testing #Agile #databases
