🎓 Are You a Junior or Senior QA Engineer? Here's How to Tell
Experience in testing isn't just about years on the job — it's about how you think. Here are key differences between junior and senior QA engineers:
🔰 Junior QA:
• Focuses on finding bugs
• Writes tests after development is done
• Treats test coverage as a checkbox
• Waits for requirements to be perfect before testing
⭐ Senior QA:
• Focuses on preventing bugs through early involvement
• Shifts left — reviews requirements and designs before coding starts
• Treats test coverage as a risk management strategy
• Questions assumptions and challenges requirements proactively
💡 The mindset shift from "I test software" to "I ensure quality" is what separates good QA from great QA.
