I have such a soft spot for the QA team. ❤
They are often overlooked and underestimated.

Testers, in consulting, generally commands a much lower day rate than the rest of the project team.

Sometimes because they are a resource that can be outsourced to an offshore team, and sometimes because it is perceived that their manual testing can be replaced by automation.

The execution of test scripts can be automated, but it requires a bit more creative thought around identifying scenarios and test cases – positive and negative testing, and finding all sorts of ways to break the system. 🕵🏻‍♂️

Understanding what the system is supposed to do is important, as well as the context of the requested functionalities and the reasons why – all this allows the QA team to be able to cleverly test the system in the correct manner.

Oh, and knowing what countries exist in reality helps too.
I mean, “Wakanda” person thinks that it’s a real country?!
