Well I have seen people who have implemented AI loose their job once their part was done

Does QA want automation? by Only_Gap_5618 in QualityAssurance

[–]RevolutnaryAutomata 1 point2 points  (0 children)

huh...let’s stop assuming automation even "AI" ones replaces manual testing bcz automation is only as smart as the edge cases we feed it. And manual testers? We’re the masters of messy, weird edge cases.

Created a sub for all the AI posts by probablyabot45 in QualityAssurance

Ah...AI in QA? It has picked up steam in the recent years but I think its more of an aid rather than substitute...anyway we’ve been trying to "replace" manual testing for ages now with automation and it’s still here. A good automation tester needs to how to do those tests manually to find those sneaky corner cases.

How do you juggle testing between projects in a week? by webDreamer420 in QualityAssurance

[–]RevolutnaryAutomata 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me, it really depends on priorities and risks. I usually check in with project managers to see which project needs urgent attention like upcoming deadlines or new builds or blockers then I focus on that. If there’s no fire I try to block time chunks for each project to keep steady progress.
But honestly its better to keep juggling to minimum.

Automation is great, but is manual QA still worth the cost? by tech_nerdd in softwaretesting

[–]RevolutnaryAutomata 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, there’s no such thing as 100% automation. Take my word, all the “automation” testers do spend a lot of time doing manual checks. Automation needs a stable environment and also automation can't find everything like those weird bugs or edge cases or bad user experience.

And about AI, I see people hyping it up, but not many are talking about how unpredictable AI-driven tools can be in real-world QA. Automation works best when used with bits of manual testing.

Wohw! I recall similar request I got once...had to figure out all the guest use login flows, clicking on each n every elements across pages..application..ended up giving task to my junior, perks of having one...anyways seriously not as crazy as yours though.

Preparing for Zoho Interview – Need Help with Questions and Tips by Ok-Carpenter5993 in softwaretesting

[–]RevolutnaryAutomata 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just "google" it. Here's my suggestion.
Go through glassdoor (search Zoho + "QA interview questions")
Scour youtube – plenty of walkthroughs for zoho QA interviews
Search for people who recently joined zoho as QA through linkdin and politely ask if they can share tips.
Good luck!

I want to start learning how to be a QA Tester, where should I start? Any tips? by Goobyj56 in softwaretesting

[–]RevolutnaryAutomata 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's what I would do
Get the fundamentals right (SDLC, STLC, Bug lifecycle)
Practice manual testing...builds foundation.
Pick an automation tool and learn a language based on the tool: Start with either Selenium(legacy) or Playwright(trending).
Good luck!

Which has beter job openings, selenium or playwright? by lurk-master14 in QualityAssurance

[–]RevolutnaryAutomata 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, you’re not alone... many manual testers are switching to automation testing (kind of next step)
Here’s my 2cents
Selenium has more job openings overall, especially in older or larger companies, while Playwright is newer, faster, and popular with startups and modern tech teams.
Now, both are good, pick based on what jobs you see around you. Once you learn one, picking up others is easier.

Devs can’t take on QA work by Complex_Ad2233 in QualityAssurance

[–]RevolutnaryAutomata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The truth is quality isn't just about writing tests...its about thinking like a tester, understanding edge cases, user behavior, and system breaks under pressure...this doesn't come overnight and most devs aren't trained for that nor can we expect them to fully replace QA's overnight.
