  So , I want to know whether this testing job will be a good career for a me?

  If you are strongly interested in coding; the QA profile won't suit you. QA would comprise of manual testing; which does not need coding skills. Automation, another important aspect of QA requires coding knowledge; but it's far away from full fledged coding.
  
  In a nutshell: if you are looking for a developer profile, you should not opt for career in testing. It'd be very difficult to switch from testing profile to coding profile after 6 months of experience. You will be treated as a fresher.

  I don't think they are focusing on automation much. In general, the QA job won't require you to write code. You will be writing scripts to automate tests. If you are okay with that, you may opt for the job. The package looks good for a fresh candidate.
