I love the diversity of projects I get to work on as a QA Engineer! 🌍 From social networks to no-code platforms to educational apps, each project brings new challenges and opportunities to ensure top-notch quality. What's the most interesting project you've tested? #QADiversity #TestingChallenges

What a journey it’s been—from construction to tech! Some days, I feel like I’ve got it all figured out; other days… well, let’s just say, if QA were easy, I wouldn’t be staying up late after a long day in the trades, working on my GitHub projects and externship. This transition has taught me to give myself permission to be patient and build a solid foundation of coding skills, one step at a time. I’ve learned to work on a little bit of everything—improving my individual skills while collaborating with other QA engineers. Through it all, I’m refining my expertise in JavaScript, Postman, VS Code, and integrating tools like Selenium and Playwright. Each step forward, no matter how small, is progress toward mastering my craft. #QAEngineer #SoftwareTesting #QualityAssurance #FromConstructionToTech #CareerChange #QAJourney #ManualTesting #AutomationTesting #JavaScript #Postman #Playwright #TechTransition #TestingLife #LearnAndGrow #Tripleten

Ever thought your coding job would be just, well... coding? 😅 Turns out, we’ve signed up for much more! 🔹 Writing requirement docs 📋 🔹 Preparing bug reports 🐞 🔹 Collaborating on post-dev checks 🔹 Becoming part-time QA experts 🔍 🔹 And of course, the final boss: Deployment 🚀 (where it works on our machine but refuses to cooperate in production!) I mean, coding toh thoda bohot hota hai, but those other tasks? They’re always right there, waiting for you like your shadow! 😄 So next time someone asks what we do as software engineers, let’s just say "Everything!" PS: I got this somewhere on Instagram and thought it looked relatable. #LifeOfADev #NotJustCode #QAIsLife #WeDoItAll

🎶 Experiencing life in a dark mode Just having random conversations with your testing team and a solid line of code pops up: 'See as Peller dey mumu himself online dey make money. Shabi na you wan dey useful!' You laugh, only because you cannot cry. You start as a manual tester, testing websites, mobile apps, competitor comparison and employ excel for your test cases. Jira/Asana for bug reports and collaboration. With no internship opportunity yet, you progress with Postman API testing, and performance testing with Jmeter through YouTube videos. When the interview finally comes, they say you are not enough. In manual testing interviews, they ask if you know any automation tool. 🤔 Your fear of coding Immediately evaporates from your body. You enter the automation journey. Selenium Java, Cypress, or Playwright, and integrating Cucumber into your framework. You just have to start somewhere. Another interview. Automation testing? You nod, they nod. Postman? You nod, they nod. Continuous integration with Github? You tell them you also bagged how to run SQL query on database. They pause. Then they ask about your experience working with Azure DevOps. You smile professionally. You want to tell them, 'I am only a tester' 😇. So you look at them, they look at you. You finally get a startup where you are all in one, plus technical customer support, online inventory manager, pos analyst, Instagram manager. Shabi they are giving you a platform. 🤗 On your way home, crisis! You get stuck at the bus-stop trying to get your first bus. Tired workers pour by on foot, those with cars can't even move an inch in the traffic. The few buses you see try to exploit you with up to 400% fare increase. Then you get to Oshodi where state-commissioned thugs wait for you like every other bus-stop. Them dey ball off-line and that public road is their own office. Again? Shabi na you wan dey useful! From the #2000 you pay to Ajah, about ₦700 belong to these unholy union. The driver rips you off, they in turn, rip off the driver. It's always the poor against the poor. You pity the thugs. You pity the driver. You pity the passengers. You look at these thugs, you see yourself. We are all united by our fight for survival in a failed system. You can gauge the mood of a city better in the evening. At best, the system failure is endemic, benefitting only a cohort of small-minded elites. Sometimes, you might want to think it's deliberate, then you knock yourself as you realise that these elites are not even capable of deep thinking, even if they are willing. The corruption of incompetency. Inside the Sienna, on the poorly lit 3rd Mainland Bridge, you try to occupy your mind with the mundane, if only you can squeeze joy out of it. You see as the full moon 🌕 casts a shadow on the waters. This caresses your emotions. It feels like you are experiencing life in a dark mode. So pristine! #SoftwareTesting #APItesting #QualityAssurance
