Software Testing

Software Testing (Quality Assurance, QA) remains a highly in-demand IT direction as it allows for human observation, intuition and exploratory techniques to uncover complex issues that may be challenging to identify through automated testing alone.

The EPAM global team currently unites thousands of software test engineers working on various projects to ensure the utmost quality of digital products worldwide. They actively share their knowledge and best practices with the beginners’ community.

What tasks do Software Test engineers have?

Manual testers play a critical role in ensuring the quality of software products. Their responsibility lies in the comprehensive assessment of the application performance, comparing it to the initial requirements, identifying any deviations that may arise and ensuring that a digital product behaves as intended.

QA engineers aim to find any functional bags – incorrect calculations, improper data processing, missing, inaccurate outputs and errors in user interactions, etc.

To do that, they develop test scenarios, execute testing, identify defects, analyze test coverage and conduct regression testing, collaborating closely with the whole development team. .

Pay attention to details and approach your work responsibly
Like to investigate and prefer to check every element, even if it is obviously "feeling fine"
