Frequently Asked Questions
Is QA a good entry point into tech?
Yes! QA is often easier to break into than development, and many QA engineers transition to development roles later. Focus on automation rather than manual testing.
What's the difference between QA Engineer and SDET?
SDET (Software Development Engineer in Test) is a more senior, development-focused role. SDETs build test frameworks and tools. QA Engineers execute tests and may do some automation.
