Manual QA is Dead - Evil Tester Show Podcast

Manual QA is dead. Companies are getting rid of their QA teams. Quality Control performed manually is phasing out of style. What can we do instead? Become coaches, assistants or advisors? We could become developers? Or we could be better testers. QA and Quality Control is not Testing. This might be how people learn.

I am a software tester. I feel like testers think differently. My experience with developers is that they test to the ACs. They want to create and build pretty things whereas I want to break things and find out how far I can push the boundaries.

[jasonsoliven]

My brain agrees. But my experience bears out differently in that QA is a catchall term for when they need to assess product, system, or process quality and risk. And that mostly ends up being a manual task as it requires more critical thinking

working right now as Tester/QA for half a year, and yeah all this kind of makes sense, looking now more into front-end development :D

I love watching your videos from Nigeria.

So true about the Quality Coaching role - I was limited by my lack of hands-on experience with TDD and unit testing. Quality Assistance never sounded quite right either.
Our company has no dedicated QA roles now, which suits our particular context.

I don't believe that quality control can be automated. Execution can be automated to some extent, but that is arguable the least important part unless we are talking about regression

Thank you this was very helpful and informative

Question? You said for testing you recommend learning to code. Which programming language is your preference, or is the standard for automation or it doesn't matter. I've been coding for a little over 1 year. Learned the fundamentals with Python, 3 months. But coded about 9 to 10 months of JavaScript with about 2 months months of JSX for React and about 2 months of SQL with mySQL. What would be your recommendation to first get started with automation and testing if you have these skills?

Is it possible to hack betting sites like 1 win and 1xbet

Hello, can you also make a video about testing platforms like utest or test io, how they work, how you can earn money using them, can you cancel your account if you no longer want to test? Or how you can make some money besides the QA job.

[mikhailtikhonov]

Development cycle would be much longer if we remove testing
Of course developers are smarter and they can track requirements but we want to release feature faster and better
Do you think for devs integration testing would be interesting and don’t forget about payment part
Devs usually have the highest salary in a team how you can explain for pm cost/pace if we compare 10 h for devs and 5h devs + 2h testers

[vladislavavadanii]

Someone who is hyping on strong headers for his video. Software Testing is not his strongest skill if he does statements like this one
