Are you finding more opportunities in QA roles than in development? Share your experiences and insights! #SDET #SoftwareDevelopment #QA #TechIndustry #JobMarket" Personal Experience as an SDET Before COVID, I worked as an SDET and toyed with the idea of transitioning to a developer role to avoid being pigeonholed. However, I ultimately found a different career path that suited me better. Despite this, I often wonder how my career trajectory would have differed if I had stayed in QA. Comparison of Demand SDETs, how in demand do you find yourselves compared to traditional developers in the current job market?

I met a CTO who was an SDET. Sharing my real conversation below if you are a Tester/SDET and looking for an answer on growth👇 . . . Very often I hear these questions/statements "There is no future in Testing, better move to development role" 🤔 "I am an SDET, how far can I go in my career?" "The scope of QAs and SDETs is upto a certain level only e.g. Director or VP types., not beyond that" "There is not enough salary in Testing" Let me tell you the truth, all the above points are Myths! 🎯 To back my point, I am sharing my conversation with a current CTO who was an SDET before in his career. When I asked him, What can we(Testers) can do to reach your level? He replied "always justify your salary. If you are making x, are you returning 2x or 3x or more to the company?" Now as a tester, there are a lot of ways to give our returns to the org. It could be ✅ 1. Implement excellent strategies to test the product and keep the quality top notch ✅ 2. Use the power of tech to develop some tool to improve the engineering productivity ✅ 3. Add rigorous automation coverage to save regression testing time ✅ 4. Implement CI/CD pipeline to release a quality build ✅ 5. Implement tools to improve developers code. And the list goes on.... So as Testers, we can achieve any level of success🔥🔥🔥 ♻️ Share this post if you think people still doubt about growth in Testing field. ❓❓ Having more questions/doubts, feel free to connect with me 🎉 #testing #testautomation #growth #engineering

I have often come across inquiries related to growth for testing-related profiles. The following example serves as a clear illustration of the principle: "Growth is directly proportional to the efforts invested." 🎯 Your mindset and commitment to your work play a crucial role in determining your accomplishments. Embrace the journey with a positive outlook, and your efforts will undoubtedly pave the way for your growth and success. 😊 . . . #testing #sdet #automationtesting #careergrowth

Some of the most important but 'often ignored' test automation concepts that must be mastered for faster growth in quality engineering domain are -: - Learning to implement testability & controllability in the application under test. - Controlling and reducing test flakiness for automation runs. - Ensuring maximum usage of your automation (run atleast once for every PR) - Ensuring maximum acceptance for your automation among tech & product. - Developing the reporting & analytical history of your automation runs. - Ensuring proper logging for most optimised failure cases debugging. - Creating the test cases tagging for running selected/module wise cases. - Developing CI CD mindset & pipelines using your automation. - Developing and maintaining automation environment and infrastructure. - Creating business impact/ROI metrics for your automation framework. - Optimising automation run time using parallel runs and infra scaling. - Developing and maintaining end to end pipelines which have build, deploy, test & monitor steps embedded into the pipeline stages. - Understanding the user behaviour , production issues & engineering productivity problems to prioritise WHAT to automate ? - Cracking WHERE to run the automation suite depending on the type of application , infra availability & feasibility. - Many more practical learnings ......... Remember , these are some of the core practical concepts which make us an expert quality engineer / test architect , but interestingly these are not covered in most of the automation courses. Rather these skills are not easy to be taught, but perfectly grasped when learnt by directly working in such an opportunity. 🚀 P.S - If you wish to work on above points , grow your skills & have related industry experience ,and excited to be part of an amazing journey with Zupee 🏅 ,we are hiring for SDET-1 & Lead QA/SDET roles. 🥁 DM me/ Mamta Pandey for referring 📞 your profile in above job openings. 🤝 #openings #sdet #cicd #jobopportunites #jobs #referrals #skillset #automation #engineering #sdetroadmap #mentorship #testing #pipelines Sangeetha Swamy Akshay Gulati Dilsher Malhi Aman Gupta Saurav Yadav Jyoti Gupta Anshul Mittal Naveen Kadyan Akanksha Dhamija Rajneesh Yadav
