My job as a QA (Quality Assurance) Engineer consists of acting as a conduit between programmers and end-users and I must use my experiential knowledge of the issues and concerns of being an end-user, such as making acceptable passwords for Web site access. In this instance as a QA Engineer I perform various combinations of entering a password with special characters in addition to alpha-numeric entries to determine the best functioning.
A natural career progression from my current position as is to advance into programming and Web development to challenge myself at designing unique and captivating pages that display well on a variety of screen environments.
Regardless of industry specializations needed to for a client's needs, to accurately do my job it is essential that I am familiar with user behavior and using my strong skills of understanding pattern recognition is essential to my outstanding job performance.
As a, my background and training isn't nearly as important as my ability to "think outside the box" and the fact that I have the persistence to stick with something until I get it right, or wrong as it is, since the goal of my job is to find problems or glitches before they reach the end-user. I am highly detail-oriented and enjoy fiddling and repeatedly examining things from software to server side and back again.
I like to say, If it works, I'm not interested in it. I am always thinkgin about what hasn't been thought of and spend my hours trying to disable a Web page or a program by imitating any possible combination of keystrokes or maneuver an end-user can or will.
One tennis pro-turned computer pro compares the same persistence necessary for a successful day on the court to the job of QA and I fully agree with it: "If you can't make something not work, keep on trying."
