Skills that go beyond code
Written communication
QA analysts should be able to write clear and comprehensive test documentation, including test plans, test cases, and defect reports.
Attention to detail
QA professionals need to ensure that the software functions as intended and meets the specified requirements. Attention to detail helps meticulously review requirements and verify that every feature and functionality aligns with the intended design.
Ability to analyze
QA analysts need to analyze software, systems, and processes to identify defects or issues. This involves understanding requirements, specifications, and user expectations to pinpoint areas that may be prone to errors.
Empathy
QA professionals need to understand the end-user's perspectives, needs, and expectations. Empathy helps them anticipate how users might interact with the software and identify potential usability issues.
Curiosity
Great QA professionals should be curious and eager to understand how things work. Instead of sticking to the obvious, push boundaries and explore the "what if" scenarios to uncover potential issues that others might miss.
