What does this work involve?
Quality work helps teams discover risks before users do. QA professionals may explore requirements, test user journeys, automate checks, investigate failures and improve how a team learns from defects. SDETs usually bring a stronger engineering focus to test architecture and tooling.

Skills and topics in QA & Software Testing
Exploratory and scenario testing
Use requirements, user behavior and failure paths to select useful tests, including accessibility and responsive behavior where relevant.
Browser automation
Playwright and Cypress can exercise interfaces in different ways. Favor stable, user-visible assertions and isolate data so test results can be trusted.
API automation
Validate contracts, authorization, edge cases and errors at the service boundary, not only happy-path UI screens.
SDET engineering
Reusable fixtures, CI integration, debugging and maintainable test code make automation practical for a team.
Quality signals
Explain flaky-test reduction, defect investigation and how teams distinguish an application failure from a test-environment failure.
