Who is a QA Engineer ?
A Quality Assurance engineer is someone who, on a regular basis, rises above everyday tasks and considers the entire project from various perspectives.
Being able to think like a developer and see how a developer might interpret and implement business requirements, to fully understand what project managers and product owners expect, and to imagine what end-users need and how they will interact with the product—those are just some of the points that a QA engineer has to be able to fulfill.
What does a QA Engineer do?
A QA engineer is responsible for the creation of tests to identify issues with software before the product launch. Duties include identifying and analyzing any bugs and errors found during the test phase and documenting them for review after. Other tasks include developing and running new tests, reporting on the results, and collaborating with software developers to fix program issues. Depending on the internal organizational structure, QA engineers may progress to a managerial or executive position.
