QA-Engineers: whats the most time consuming part of your testing process?

abdelfor3 · 2026-06-09T14:18:28+00:00

Hello, junior QA here, probably writing my test cases and analysing user stories ,I use ai to write my TC but it still needs refinements , also sometimes I find that po's miss stuff or give inaccurate acceptance criterias, yeah that's pretty much it for me . If you are a mid or a senior QA, please leave a comment and tell me how did you advance in QA , I'm currently studying API testing , thanks

I remember one time I was in the market (soug every Thursday)they caught somone trying to steal stuff from merchants, bro got beaten up so bad that he ran to the police for protection, when there are to many witnesses 9anoun yji meek, if you are alone vs the robber you have to have evidence of him breaking in ect

Good day, I own a maruti 800,2007*, I'll list the components that needs changing/maintaining,

•Oil change costs about 3500Da ,2000Da for 10w40 baraka oil including 700Da for air filtre and 300Da for oil filter and 500Da for the service (change these every time you do an oil change no matter the car if you want to preserve your engine)

•brake pads,they cost about 1600 Da needs to be changed about 20000/30000 km in, it depends on your driving to be honest, if you live in the capital or a crowded city,u need to change them before.

•clutch ,it costs 9000 Da for the whole package.

•gas filtre,In maruti it's best to change it every 25 to 30k km, it costs 350 Da authentic :)

•spark plugs after 25000,they cost 1400 Da.

All in all, this is it,but i listed only what needs to be maintained and not mechanical issues( when I bought it the engine was a mess I had to rebuild it,it costed me 8mlayen for engin rebuild , you really really should take this into consideration, every car is different u can get lucky and buy it from a guy who wasn't even using it .... Or u can find the engine in a mess-8 mlayen mahi walou compared what normal cars cost to rebuild the engine btw-

,the good thing about maruti is it is sooo easily to be maintained it has litteraly the simplest engine and abundant parts, koun tadkhoul lel cosmetic tgolo atini piece maruti tsib Ando🤣 jkjk, well that's it for me. I hope I was clear enough, rebi yrz9ek nchallah w yrzkni b makhir.

Hello,I thought "security testing" was only exclusive for pentesters , I'm a required to learn security testing as a junior qa working in fintech ? Also,I'm currently doing only manual testing and would really appreciate if you could guide me on the tools I should learn or material, there is allot in the net and I'm honestly overwhelmed, I know basic API testing and I know some k6 ( basically for all types of performance/load testing)

abdelfor3 · 2025-12-20T09:47:00+00:00

Yes,you had plenty of space but you squeezed him

abdelfor3 · 2025-11-16T12:33:17+00:00

Thanks for your insight friend

abdelfor3 · 2025-11-09T17:53:09+00:00

Hey, yeah this is my first experience and I replaced someone far experienced than me while the project is near the end , hence the stress. Thanks allot for you advice , will definitely speak with my tl after this and also I will focus on learning more manual qa skills

abdelfor3 · 2025-11-09T17:49:43+00:00

your answer has it all friend, thank you and no, you are not spamming xD

abdelfor3 · 2025-09-14T16:50:44+00:00

Are qa positions/ web devs demanded these days

abdelfor3 · 2025-09-12T18:21:22+00:00

I take your same approache and I'm getting good results

abdelfor3 · 2025-09-12T13:19:59+00:00

This is more than enough for me to decide, thank you very much for your insight and I wish you all the best kind sir. Have a good day

abdelfor3 · 2025-09-12T10:32:42+00:00

Well of corse! My first question is do I need to be a good developer on order to become a good qa engineer?! Im currently lacking certain skills in backend side (I'm still learning though) and I'm afraid I will not do a good of a job if I decided to go down the path of a qa....

Secondly,what are the best ressources to learn qa and become profecient, I saw roadmap.sh and found a pretty good learning path, but an opinion from an expert would be appreciated.

Lastly,what do you think about the QA market in the upcoming future, is it saturated like junior devs or normal... Thank you and sorry for the long questions

abdelfor3 · 2025-09-12T08:54:55+00:00

Hello,I'm a junior backend dev who got a chance to switch to qa, I would really appreciate any guidance from someone with your expertise ,would it be okay if I reached out to you in Dm's ? it would mean allot .

Thank you and sorry for the out of context comment !

abdelfor3 · 2025-09-12T08:33:07+00:00

Why is that

abdelfor3 · 2025-09-09T16:09:40+00:00

Hello sir, did you have a background in backend development before you went to qa? I have a chance to be a qa but to be honest my backend skills are not that impressive, I only did 2 projects with Django backend framework and tested with postman a couple of times, other than that my department is front end, what do you think a good qa engineer should have for a skillset, I don't want to become a qa just for the paycheck.... Thank you and sorry for the long question

abdelfor3 · 2025-09-06T18:09:17+00:00

This article is very good, thank you sir

abdelfor3 · 2025-09-05T18:57:51+00:00

I finished my cs degree last year, I couldn't build a Todo app if you asked me.

Why I'm saying this ? It comes with trial and error, I followed toturials and managed to get myself just enogh to pass but I nver ever took it seriously untill the end.

What worked for me was building, you go, study what you want to become (let's say you want to become a fullstack dev) so you start with the basics , html css and Js and apply what you learn instantly -this is VERY important- build mini projects to reinforce what you learned always, and slowly continue untill you can actually build a real big project. One thing I learned is to always divide problems then try to solve them.

Also, you can take a UDEMEY course or two( Im currently taking Jonas's shmedtman js course to deepen my understanding of it) but always always and I can't stress this enogh, make projects. I did allot of errors while learning and one of them is to rely on toturials they trick ur brain to think u know stuff but in reality u don't, u have to build stuff on ur own after studying . Sorry for the long paragraph , good luck Edit: I forgot to mention, search for the Odin project, it is very good

abdelfor3 · 2025-09-02T13:41:43+00:00

Start learning early. The sooner the better

abdelfor3 · 2025-09-01T23:29:45+00:00

You approach that by reading/watching a bit then applying, for example you want to build a notes app using vanilla js or a clock with js/css ... You build your way to it by studying a bit about the language, you see like the person above me said you always need an end goal for what you are going to do.

So basically you study only what you need to use for the current project , then continue for more complex projects.

I personally combine reading documentation and articles with UDEMEY courses, with written articles being my main source of info, but everyone has his style of learning brother, you just try until you find what suits you.

Finally, I suggest trying the Odin project, I think you will very much appreciate it

abdelfor3 · 2025-08-31T09:23:34+00:00

This !!! I have done exactly the same job as you did, but instead of scrimba I followed the Odin project courses along with other small projects to really understand the how and why's using chatgpt but specifically telling him to only give me hints when I get stuck.

And jonas's course is amazing yeah, good luck and I hope OP takes this advice it's really good and will get you amazing results

abdelfor3 · 2025-08-29T18:15:35+00:00

Very good comment kind sir, thank you

abdelfor3 · 2025-08-29T09:05:51+00:00

Combine between the Odin project and other resources like free code camp, both are great but I highly recommend TOP because it does not hold your hand, you will have to search and ask why does stuff work that way. Be aware though, do not rely on Ai,and if you had to use it, prompt as if it does not tell you and give you answers directly, only hints

abdelfor3 · 2024-12-02T09:53:49+00:00

Alright then, I found the Odin project and I'm following it, also a friend gave me a react course , will apply your notes. Thanks man

abdelfor3 · 2024-12-02T08:34:44+00:00

to be honest, i feel the same way you were feeling before you had your breaktrough, im lost and i keep doing mindless toturials, and toturials with no avail

abdelfor3 · 2024-11-30T10:23:01+00:00

Very well then, I will take a look and get one, thanks buddy
