Hey,
If by the software you mean the tech stack, that literally depends on what you'll be testing. Currently, three most popular in web testing I saw in requirements: Java + TestNG, Python + Playwright, JS + Cypress, for example. Those differs by the environment, from web to mobile applications to embedded, etc.
Regarding where to learn, there are plenly of courses out there, but the best option is to find yourself a mentor. Ideally, in your company, if it uses test automation. That person could recommend you a course, and can check your code sometimes, and show some examples on the commercial automation project.
It can be hard to find one, though. But it's OK to start by yourself, asking what your project requires to automate testing. Study the basics of some not-too-hard programming language, like Python. Go to Udemy or similar courses hub for a course on how to build an infrustructure for test automation. Just give it a start, and you'll figure it all out later

Hello. I am web front end developer, and during the last year, I'm moving into QA field by following a related mentoring program. Through this program, i've learned also automated testing tools such as Selenium (Python) and Cypress (javascript). Therefore, I believe that a tester should know also automation testing tools.
