how to be a good QA Engineer?

As a Software QA Engineer, I’ve come to realize that effective communication is not just a valuable skill, but the key to unlocking doors in our profession and beyond. The ability to explain technical concepts in a clear, non-technical language is crucial for bridging the gap between technical and non-technical stakeholders. Being the liaison between the product and development teams, I see firsthand how crucial it is to convey ideas effectively. This role demands more than just technical expertise; it requires the finesse to articulate complex issues in a way that everyone can understand and act upon. I firmly believe that the best products are built through close communication and collaboration within cross-functional teams. This synergy helps resolve arising issues within the team and facilitates discussions on contentious points, ultimately leading to superior outcomes. How do you ensure effective communication within your team to tackle challenges and disputes? By fostering an environment of open dialogue and mutual understanding, we can ensure that everyone is aligned and working towards the same goal. This is how we create exceptional products that meet the needs of our users and exceed expectations. #SoftwareQA #EffectiveCommunication #CrossFunctionalTeams #Collaboration

Quality assurance (QA) is essential from the start and shouldn't be delayed until after a product gains a large customer base. Early QA efforts help catch bugs, foster a culture of quality, improve user experiences, and prevent long-term problems as the product scales. Initially, developers might perform QA tasks, but creating a dedicated QA team early on is crucial. This early investment in QA sets a strong quality foundation, ensuring the product's success before it reaches a significant number of users. #Software QA #Automation #Bugs

💻 Which are the Skills required for Being a Good QA Engineer? 🔎 🖥 📱 1. Knowledge of Devices A QA engineer should take into account the reality of each use case and comprehend the specifications of the systems because specifications represent the various systems engaged in the development process. A better comprehension of the most common devices, including smartphones and tablets like the Samsung Galaxy and Sony Xperia. The various mobile operating systems, including iOS, Android, etc. 💡 2. Expert with Tools for Testing and Bug Monitoring Bug tracking is a method that is essential to a QA engineer’s job. Therefore, it’s essential to have the appropriate tools for system testing and bug monitoring. A prospective QA engineer will be familiar with web-based tools such as BugHerd, Mantis Bug Tracker, Asana, Marker.io, and Stryka, among other crucial technologies. A QA engineer may be familiar with several other test management services, such as TestRail, TestFLO for Jira, Jira, QAComplete, and VersionOne. However, because bug tracking and test management technologies are continually being developed, QA engineers must identify which ones are of excellent quality and which ones are best suited to their specific project. 📈 3. Expert in Developing Test Plans The test plan details the objectives and testing processes for a software product. To develop this testing strategy, QA engineers will work with other developers and stakeholders. 📝 4. Testing expertise When looking for a job in mobile QA testing, knowledge of the SDLC, STLC, black box, and white box testing techniques as well as agile and waterfall testing methodologies is crucial. ✅ 5. Adequate communication QA engineers will be in contact with management, customers, and the product’s developers. For the development of a product, efficient and open communication between all parties is important. ⏲ 6. Using time effectively To stay productive and meet deadlines as a QA engineer, you will need strong time management skills. ⌛ 7. Powerful listening abilities To ensure the effective launch of the product, a professional Mobile Testing Engineer must not only be able to communicate but also listen to their development team, management, and stakeholders. #QAEngineer #MobileTesting #SoftwareTesting #QualityAssurance #BugTracking #TestManagement #SDLC #STLC #AgileTesting #WaterfallTesting #MobileApps #TestPlans #TimeManagement #CommunicationSkills #TechQA #MobileDevices #QACommunity #QAExperts #SoftwareDevelopment #TestingMethodologies #MobileTech

QA should not be an afterthought. You can build the best product in the world. But if it’s full of bugs and poorly designed user flows, the usage and adoption will be low. We idolize build, build, build all day. But let’s start reciting test, test, test! Our engineering team is a 3:1 ratio, so for every 3 engineers, we have a dedicated QA tester. It’s not perfect, but it’s a start and we literally document and resolve 200+ bugs a month. What’s your thoughts on when to hire QA? Do you wait until you have a ton of customers or hire from the start? #tech #product #vc
