QA Engineer – ensure software quality by designing test cases, automating testing processes, and identifying bugs before release. Strong analytical skills and attention to detail are key.
QA engineers use both manual and automated testing. Manual testing means clicking through the app and checking if everything works. Automated testing involves writing small programs (using tools like Selenium or Cypress) that check the software automatically. They also need problem-solving skills to find and report bugs, as well as basic coding knowledge (Python, Java, or JavaScript) to write automation scripts.
