Today we had a very interesting discussion with new potential client who said this "If you do not know how to measure, you cannot succeed". Golden words of wisdom. We did not hear this for a long time. When we showcased our proprietary Metrics & KPIs framework consisting of 60+ metrics client was blown away. Those of you who are still not fully understanding the magic of metrics should read this article which I wrote while back and watch this video https://lnkd.in/e2czB4Mt Enjoy!

With many technical requirements, we as testers tend to lose the big picture. 🙃🙃 At least, that's what Victor Munteanu, our Test Architect, believes. 💡 In our new DevCast episode, you'll learn how Victor keeps his focus on track to avoid being overwhelmed by imperfections in production. 👇👇 Watch the full podcast here. https://lnkd.in/g73k7-m3 #DevCast #LeadingInTech #levininers #releaseday #testdevelopment

Again I’m looking for a new position as a QA Lead / QA Advisor / Engineering Manager or a QA with a Scrum Master role combination. Why? Short answer – the startup I worked for did not raise the money on the new round. Long answer. Within 13 years of working in tech I have realized - I have enough energy and strength to be an agent of change. Still. After all ups and downs. What do I mean by that? I have been working for big companies for a significant part of my professional career. In big companies you have stability but limited growth and very little chance to change something globally. Even if you can sell the idea to the management, you won't have the same power or leverage to implement some of the changes in the processes or in culture or they won't happen exactly as you envisioned them. Moreover it does not matter if you achieved the promised results, a bureaucratic machine can destroy any undertaking even if it's aimed at reducing the chaos. This has been burning me out for a long period of time. Eventually I tried to work at the startup and it brought me back to life. As a Phoenix I raised from the ashes, and I have found the strength for the new achievements. To be an agent of change again. Chaos in a big company and chaos in a startup are different. In a startup you have the power to build processes and culture which you find to be the most comfortable for your team and for business. You can do this even if you are just a line engineer but possess the necessary expertise. You can also achieve the recognition of your merits and if the team really loves it, you'll feel it. But. As always. You have to be ready to take some risks. Any startup is a "high reward – high risks" model and you have to sign the pact that you are ready for the instant changes including in your finance compensations. I'm not saying startups are better than big companies or something like that. I'm saying they are different and for my personal goals and ambitions I would prefer to have the power to change things for the better and to provide my expertise to improve processes and how they work. So. Now I’m looking for a new position as a QA Lead / Team Lead / Engineering Manager or a QA with a Scrum Master role combination. I would like to change things for the better, genuinely, with professionals who recognize real talent. Thanks to all!

There's been a significant shift in the approach to the QA industry. Not so long ago the majority of QA professionals used to check software manually.  But then, with the introduction of automated testing tools, The QA world started changing. Now, QA people no longer need to waste their time on repetitive tasks. Now, using modern testing tools they can deliver higher quality because testers do repetitive tasks quickly and more accurately. We’ve been trying to understand where the QA automation space is headed and wanted to share some interesting stats and trends with you Well first of all, the global QA automation market is expected to grow significantly over the next five years– an estimated compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 15%. Then, AI and machine learning are becoming crucial as they now predict problems before they even happen and even give testers advice. More companies are using DevOps, which means they need automated testing more than ever. Simply put, the tests run automatically to make sure new changes don’t cause problems with the software, so everything runs smoothly and continuously. Continuous testing is also becoming more common because companies want to make sure there are no defects in the software as they build it. Automated testing is crucial here because it gives quick feedback on any changes made, helping to catch issues early. Finally, there’s a big move towards using open source tools in QA Automation. These tools are free and can be changed to fit what companies need. But more importantly, they help even small companies or teams use advanced QA strategies without breaking the bank.

Hey Quality Assurance Managers! Are you constantly building manual tests for a single input field? Picture this: you’re testing online registration forms, and you need to ensure that every input field in the form is working as expected. To do this, you build a manual test for one input field. And then another for a second. And then another for a third…and so on. Thankfully, this scenario isn’t likely to come true if you're using Ghost Inspector. Take a deep dive into our blog about Data-Driven Testing and how it can help your team save time! 👇 https://lnkd.in/g5pEZ42F #QualityAssurance #QA #Datadriven #DataDrivenTesting
