Do you think a Tester's job is just reading specifications, writing test cases, and running them? In this video I show you more than 20 hidden tasks we testers do every day that almost no one takes into account.
And keep in mind I recorded this video a while ago, so it's still missing everything AI has brought and made easier for us since.
From guiding users through UAT, participating in agile ceremonies, putting together quality reports, giving usability feedback, doing root cause analysis, collaborating on acceptance criteria, to training teams and keeping documentation up to date.
If you're just starting out in the testing world or want to better understand the QA role within an agile team, this video will be really useful for you.
And if you want to keep learning software testing and quality, remember you can find courses on my site, on Udemy, and Udemy Business. The starting point is always Intro to testing.
