The Technical Primer
What QA engineers actually do, in plain terms. Read a resume and know what you are looking at, ask questions that land, and stop guessing on the calls that matter.
- +What QA actually is, and the vocabulary that separates “QA” from “QE” on a resume
- +The three kinds of tester — manual, automation, and AI-augmented — and how to place a candidate in seconds
- +The full testing-type map: functional, acceptance, exploratory, integration, and regression, each decoded in plain terms
- +A rehearsed mock screening call, so the questions feel natural instead of like a checklist
- +A one-page glossary of every term in the guide, meant to stay open on your second screen
Read this before the other six guides. This is the foundation that makes all of them make sense.
