As a QA professional, I ensure products meet customer & industry standards, develop testing processes, identify defects, and collaborate with teams to resolve issues. I improve reliability, reduce errors, and increase customer satisfaction.
Since one of the major test objectives is to find defects, an established defect management process is essential. The workflow typically comprises activities to log the reported anomalies, analyze and classify them, decide on a suitable response such as to fix or keep it as it is and finally to close the defect report
Following a shift-left approach, quality mindset is a thinking where testing is performed earlier in SDLC. It suggests that testing should be done earlier, but it does not mean that testing later in the SDLC should be neglected.
Test automation tools support and facilitate many test activities in SDLC. Benefits of using test automation include: time saved by reducing repetitive manual work, prevention of simple human errors through greater consistency and repeatability.
