Team Work makes things work, or not! ⚡⚡

Transitioning into QA has taught me many valuable lessons, but one that consistently stands out is the significance of TEAMWORK.

Whether working in a lean team or a larger one, the principles of collaboration remain the same, yet the different.

In a lean team, every individual’s contribution is amplified.
You wear multiple hats, and flexibility becomes your best friend.

I recall a time when, as a Software Test Engineer, I found myself not just testing but also working on social media contents and posting, pitching our product to potential clients and much more, all in real time!!💥💥
I handled all pretty well 🤗🤗


On the other hand, in larger teams, specialization is the order of the day
There’s a person for every task, and you’ll find yourself focusing on your area of expertise while relying on others to complete the puzzle.


What’s the common ground? TEAMWORK!

Whether lean or large, collaboration is the lifeblood of QA Engineering.
I’ve learned to ask questions, offer help, and be open to feedback.


Most Importantly, working together towards the goal of delivering quality ensures success for any team size.

Remember, no matter the team size, always making meaningful contributions is the real deal!

Insights in QA

 The power of Pettiness  In my Opinion, being "petty" should be considered a soft skill as QA.  I'm not even  joking 🤭 Does being "petty" have any advantage in the place of work, especially as a QA Engineer. Petty means complaining too much about things that are not "important" .

Attention to the smallest details is a superpower.  It's about ensuring nothing slips through the cracks, no matter how insignificant it seems. That’s high level “pettiness,” and I wear it with pride. Lol  Beyond being able to spot the slightest and pardonable issues, is the ability to communicate your findings simply yet effectively, without dimi...

Quiting is not an Option

 What I wish more people understood about building a new career path ! It's OK to Fail, but never OK to quit! I remember wailing after I failed an interview that I held very dear in my early days of QA practice (I cried alot in this season) It was my 2nd interview at that time, and I felt really giddy about it. I cried after the interview for different reasons:  ✅️ I felt embarrassed because I couldn't respond correctly to a number of questions I was asked. ✅️ I was overwhelmed seeing the fact that I didn't know as much as I should have known before the interview. ✅️ I was overwhelmed about the idea that I needed to find answers to questions I was asked before I could get started in my career properly. ✅️ I felt worse after the interviewer told me I hadn't started my journey at all, based on the responses I gave. I struggled with all these for a while until I prayed about it then subsequently stumbled on a content that someone I respect in the space posted about having...
