What is Manual QA? Pros and Cons of the Profession

When: August 16, 2023, at 19:00
Speaker: Olga Davydenko, Manual QA Engineer

Testing plays a significant role in application development – none of them can see the light of day without a quality check performed by a relevant specialist (QA Engineer or tester) and the rectification of identified errors. 

Why beginners in IT choose testing: 

• It’s the easiest path to enter the IT field; it requires significantly less effort than development. 
• Learning programming is not mandatory – one can become a Manual QA specialist who specializes in testing without writing code.
• There’s a high demand for QA specialists – without quality control, any application would contain so many bugs that its usage would be impossible. 

In the webinar, you will learn about the prospects and career paths this profession offers and, ultimately, how you can become a QA specialist as early as this year.
