Tests buried in nested ifs quickly turn into puzzles. Guard clauses help separate error handling from business logic so you can debug less and build more. Keep your conditionals short, refactor when they get deep, and move complex logic into separate functions. How do you keep your tests readable?

Everyone’s saying QA is dead. They’re wrong. It’s just being rebuilt by AI — quietly, powerfully, and permanently. This isn’t a debate about tools. It’s a transformation of how we think, test, and ship with confidence. Here’s how modern QA is evolving: – Tests are written by prompt – Root causes are explained, not guessed – Test data is smarter, contextual, fast – Only the tests that matter are run – AI spots bugs before the UI is even pushed – And automation feels like architecture — not repetition I’ve mapped the exact shift in this 8-slide guide👇 💬 What part of this AI evolution are you most excited about? #AIinQA #Playwright #TestAutomation #ModernTesting #SoftwareTesting #SDET #QATransformation #PromptEngineering #AutomationStrategy #EngineeringLeadership

If you are vibe coding, you need to 2x or 3x your QA staff. Why? Because you are pumping out more code, more features, and getting them ready for review much faster. This coding is also lower quality and can cause a lot more issues. This means that there are going to be a lot more QA issues, more tickets, and more testing. So make sure you are budgeting for extra QA if you are expecting your engineers to vibe code.

What do you do when an incident occurs, and you need to investigate and troubleshoot? 🔁 Replay the data. What about performing audit trails for compliance and reporting? 🔁 Replay the data. Need to do system testing and validation? 🔁 Replay the data. Cribl Stream’s Replay feature simplifies retrieving and replaying telemetry data from object storage to any destination, making data management more efficient.

“QA as gatekeeper” isn’t protecting your product. It will quietly kill it though. The outdated idea is that QA should be the final stop before release. What happens over time is you exhaust your QA team, killing their morale. It usually looks a lot like this: 1. Devs toss code over the wall, QA scrambles to test under impossible timelines. 2. Releases stall for weeks because QA becomes the bottleneck. 3. Bugs slip through anyway, because QA isn’t embedded where issues are born. 4. Engineers stop owning quality; it becomes “someone else’s job.” I’ve seen this play out in multiple startups: long regressions, flaky tests, “big bang” releases. Every time, the gatekeeper mindset suffocated speed and trust. When QA is treated like a wall, morale dies. Engineers and QA end up in an “us vs. them” cycle, and nobody feels responsible for shipping with confidence. Stop making QA the gate. Make us the accelerator in your company. Embed QA early, label risk, automate smartly, and coach teams to own quality at every stage. That’s how you scale speed and trust, without killing morale along the way. #DevOps #CloudComputing #DeveloperExperience #EngineeringCulture #PlatformEngineering #ContinuousDelivery #QualityByDesign #ShiftLeft #SoftwareEngineering #TechLeadership #CTO #EngineeringManagement #Scalability #Microservices #SiteReliability #Innovation #TechTrends

After 10+ years in QA, here’s the truth no one tells you: Not a single company cared about my degree or certifications. They cared about how I think, how I test, and how I communicate. They gave me practical tests, sometimes live, so they can evaluate how I think. And when I was the one hiring for teams I managed, I did the same. 📚 I have various trainings: 1. UX/UI 2. Security 3. ISTQB (Professional Tester) 4. Jira Admin 5. Scrum Master 6. Project Management 👩‍🎓 Plus a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science. Literally, none asked in probably hundreds of interviews and chats with clients over the years. Are certifications worth it??? ✅ To break into QA — yes, 100% ❌ But collecting them just to impress recruiters? Not worth it. Focus on skills, not stickers. Focus on how to get the mindset. Focus on how to improve your skills. Focus on how you interact with the team. > Save this post if you’re starting out. > Share it with someone stuck in “certification collecting” mode. #RealTalkFromQA #SoftwareTesting #QAEngineer #QACommunity #QATips #QualityAssurance #TestAutomation #CareerAdvice #WomenInTech #TechTips #ManualTesting #QACertification #TestingMindset #LearnQA #TestLikeAPro #ScrumMaster #ISTQB #UXUI #JiraAdmin #WomenInQA

When a workflow hits a snag, the entire run shouldn’t fall apart. 🛑 Automatic retries, graceful error handling, and smarter skipping give your workflows the resilience they need to keep moving, reduce breakages, and save your team from unnecessary rework. These upgrades help IT teams build smarter, steadier workflows that keep moving without constant supervision.

A leading MedTech enterprise asked Payatu to assess a mission-critical thick-client app used across regulated workflows. Outcome: clear attack paths mapped, auth & session controls hardened, and change-management ready fixes—without slowing releases. If you run regulated software at scale, this is a blueprint for risk reduction with measurable outcomes. Read the case study → https://lnkd.in/diAxi2wa #Healthcare #Compliance #AppSec #CISO

Stop calling them QA engineers.... if they’re not even in the room when architecture decisions are made. You want testable code? Start with testable design. You want fewer bugs? Start with shared ownership. Testability isn’t something you tack on at the end—it’s built in from day one. And that only happens when QA is more than just a final checkbox. Who really owns quality on your team? If it’s not “everyone,” you’ve already got a problem. #qa #developers

“It’s just a console warning.” “It doesn’t break anything.” “Let’s fix it later.” That was the initial response to a seemingly minor issue QA flagged — a 1-line fix. But that one line was the reason screen readers were skipping an entire form. It took: • 3 comments • 2 Slack threads • A 10-minute live demo to the stakeholder …before it clicked. That 1-line change made the platform accessible to thousands of users relying on assistive technologies. 💡 Here’s the hard truth: Testers often have to advocate fiercely for issues that don’t cause crashes — but cause exclusion. Being in QA isn’t just about finding bugs. It’s about speaking up for the users who can’t raise their voices through error logs. Let’s remember: ✅ A tiny fix can have a massive impact. ✅ Accessibility is not a nice-to-have — it’s a must. #AccessibilityMatters #QualityAdvocacy #InclusiveDesign #QARole #UserCenteredTesting #TestingWithEmpathy #SmallFixBigImpact #VoiceForUsers

The QA Trends Report highlights how: ➡️ AI-driven automation is no longer experimental—it’s scaling across industries where downtime costs millions. ➡️ Teams that embrace continuous quality pipelines see fewer release rollbacks and faster time-to-market. ➡️ Security and compliance testing are being baked directly into CI/CD, not added as an afterthought. ➡️ This isn’t just theory, but it’s what’s actually reshaping how high-performing engineering teams deliver software. Read the full QA Trends Report to uncover the data and stories behind these shifts. https://lnkd.in/gcttyqTt #QAwithThinkSys #QATrends #ContinuousQuality #AIinTesting #TestAutomation #DevSecOps #EngineeringExcellence

Most QA tools stop at reporting bugs. The best ones learn from your feedback. Here’s a tactic we’ve been using at Pie to make AI testing smarter over time — without overwhelming the user: 📌 Every dismissed issue becomes training data. If you mark a finding as “low priority” or “expected behavior,” we store that context and use it in future runs. 🔁 The agent adapts. It won’t flag the same false positive again. Instead, it uses your signal to improve its precision — for your app. 🧠 Next: fine-tuning per customer. We’re training app-specific models so the more you use the system, the more tailored and context-aware it becomes — like onboarding a QA engineer who remembers your Apps quirks and edge cases. 💡 Pro tip: Want faster improvement? Add a short reason when you dismiss an issue. It makes the learning loop tighter and more accurate. Most QA automation tools are read-only. The best ones are collaborative. #qaautomation #aiagents #productops #devtools #buildsmarter #b2bsaas

💡 You have an idea that could save your team hours a week. But it’s stuck in a dev queue behind 14 other projects. 😩 Sound familiar? That’s why people use Caspio: → Need an approval workflow? Build it. → Need a customer portal? Launch it. → Need HIPAA, SOC2 or GDPR compliance? It’s built in. 🚫No more waiting to get on IT’s radar. Build what you need. Ship it fast. Own the outcome. #nocode #efficiency #caspiopowered
