In a recent interview for a manual testing role, I was asked about test coverage strategies and requirement traceability matrices. It made me realize the importance of mastering these concepts to be a stronger QA professional.
Now, I’m deep-diving into test coverage techniques and traceability best practices to sharpen my skills. Every interview is not just about landing a job—it’s also a great way to assess where we stand and where we need to grow.
Fundamental topics in testing will always be crucial at any stage of career as they are the ones on which whole software testing foundation has been built.
So either it is test strategies, test plan, tracebility matrix, test cases, defect life cycle, types of testing, sdlc models, etc. they will never get out-dated.
Obviously with the introduction of ai in testing these topics are not getting that much attention as they deserve but still we cannot ignore their importance.
From learning point of view, I’m currently explorimng web scrapping and fuzzy logic.
Great insights! Test coverage and traceability matrix are definitely critical. Lately, I have been focusing on more exploratory testing skills and understand how AI can assist more.
Also dive into game testing-been an exciting learning journey, lets keep learning together!
