Growing as a software tester, It all begins with your current position. Is it a full-time automation job (software engineer in test) or a QA engineer job? As the IT industry evolves, what used to be a clear distinction between these positions becomes more and more blurred. For example, in Agile environments, a QA engineer is expected to run, analyze, and even write end-to-end tests (both UI and API). At the moment (late 2024), the difference between software engineers in test (SET) and QA engineers is the amount of coding and testing work they do. The latter does more testing and less coding. For both positions, the career path looks pretty similar—gradually going from junior to senior level. Along the way, you will feel sometimes that you are just marking test cases "passed" or writing yet another automated script. But you are in fact providing important information about the quality and risks of the product. But as the test engineer moves up through increasingly senior roles, new possibilities emerge on the horizon. Getting to the next level will bring new challenges and perspectives on quality, products, and processes. #factofsoftwaretester #automationlife #sdet #QA #testengineer
