- Nothing is more frustrating than trying to use software that simply does not work. Quality assurance exists to prevent these negative experiences, but have you ever wondered what quality assurance means, or what the role of a QA involves? and show what skills are necessary to succeed in a career in quality assurance. I'll start by explaining the role a QA plays and what responsibilities they typically have. Then I'll describe how to plan and execute different kinds of testing a QA performs, and share processes for how to manage bugs. I'll also share tips on how a QA can effectively communicate and collaborate with their team keeping quality at the top of mind. I'm Meaghan Lewis, and I'm a QA engineer with nearly a decade of experience in the field. I am passionate about software testing and enjoy speaking, blogging, and teaching about the subject.
