Hey Madeline, I really wanted to leave a comment for you. 6 months ago I was frantically watching all your videos as I blindly accepted a QA Analyst role & was so nervous if I cud do the job. 6 months later, here I am as a QA and proud of all the challenges have overcome & achieved on what may seem like an easy job but it takes a toll upon you depending on your project type. I'm so glad I took the job & your vids helped me calm my nerves when I newly started. I'm so grateful & also its funny remembering those moments now! :D Blessings to you!

Thank you for your videos. After being laid off from another library job due to ANOTHER round of budget cuts, I'm strongly thinking of doing QA---I've been researching it for awhile.

I’ve watched some of your videos on software testing and it inspired me to select it as a career change. Currently finishing up QA TestPro courses and have internship in couple of weeks! Thanks for the inspiration! 🙏

Hello! I am looking into QA and testPro. Did you enjoy the course. Has everything worked out for you? Thanks so much in advance!

Hi! I came across your channel because I'm researching the QA Testing/Manual QA/ QA Automation role, as well as training, switching from Education as an Elementary school teacher. As a life long learner, this is right up my alley. You're making it look good I must say! Thanks for sharing this content.

May I ask, what training are you doing to learn this trade? I’m interested in switching to QA as well but I don’t know what level of training is good enough to land a job.

I am so stoked for your channel and the content you are bringing! I’m a software QA engineer, work from home, vegan and fitness enthusiast as well so girl, you’re channel is literally speaking to my life! I really appreciate you sharing your journey along the way to completing your goals. It helps keep me motivated and inspired! Sending you all the best vibes on all your future content! Can’t wait to see it!

Great video! I've been working for a few years as a software engineer myself. I think it's a great field to be in, lots of room for growth and movement. My wife has been looking for a new career to get into and I've told her about QA, but there's not many videos like yours out there. This is great content that fills that gap. It would be really nice to have some videos that explain the details around how your job is done. Might not be what you really want your channel to be, but it would be something many people could find useful!

It's funny that you say that, because I've been so surprised by the interest in my job 😂 I definitely assumed people would think it's boring, but you're right, there's just not much content about it out there! I'm planning on making more QA-focused content, since people do have so many questions about it. I'd love to incorporate a more well-rounded perspective though, so if you have any thoughts about what people should know about working in the software industry, let me know!😊

Yeah great work, I can get to know what's the day to day work 😎I can answer in interviews thanks alot

Great job!

Hi Madeline! I just found your KZread Channel and watched some of your videos, the content is great! I'm a master's student currently doing research on automated software testing. May I know if there is any good automated test case generation tool from your perspective as a QA?🥺Thanks in advance!

"everything's on fire". Yes.

Please share the career path you are following. Great videos.

Awesome vlog I'm not so familiarized with the QA methodology but how often do you write those test cases? Thank you

@MadelineElaineYT

2 жыл бұрын

I write test cases for each “story” or piece of code the developers create. My team usually completes 14-20 stories every two weeks, so for each story I write out the different test cases to go through to make sure the code works correctly and cannot be broken. 😊 And thank you!

Great video! I am about to start as a QA- will be working from home.I have a question- how do thay track you in terms of hours worked or whether you are actually working or not. I would appreciate if you please answer that.

Thank you! For my company, we track our work time for each individual issue/task so that it's clear where time is being spent. Other than that, they wouldn't really know if someone was actually working or not, unless your team noticed your work wasn't getting done on time or something like that. So I guess it's mostly honor system/people will notice if you're wasting too much time haha

@3:50 what do you use to write your test cases?

I'm currently an intern as a QA... I'm actively applying. Pray that I get a QA job soon! I love your videos

I've never seen someone with a worse setup for your arms infront of a computer. You will have all sorts of problem in your elbow and shoulder. How can you not notice it yourself? Why not a wider table? Why not a USB keyboard...? So many solutions. And you are a person to find problems in things?
