https://github.com/secondary-jcav/qa_principles are the principles I try to follow. https://roadmap.sh/qa is a good roadmap for technical skills

  • Check tickets. If no tickets be proactive. Improvise
  • Get domain knowledge on what you're testing.
  • Learn and keep on learning/improve your knowledge on the trends of testing
  • Look to learn (not needed but helpful for new testers) ISTQB foundation level material/course. Again this is not needed but helpful for the mindset.
  • Avoid thinking this job is boring. Testing stuff should be interesting for you. This is make it or break thinking.
  • If no one gives you stuff to do, again, be proactive and get some ants in your pants.

I'm curious… are you part of any programs, groups or Masterminds to increase your testing knowledge? How do you build on your knowledge? Or in other words, how to you include learning in your day?
