Madeline Elaine is one of the vloggers I follow on Youtube. She shares snippets of her life and work experience as a QA Analyst.
I stumbled upon Madeline Elaine's channel at the time when I decided to take IT QA at NBCC, Moncton. I was looking for informative videos about Quality Assurance and surprisingly, I was able to watch videos of what life is like as a QA working in a team.
In one of her videos, QA Analyst Expectations vs Reality, she mentioned this point...
“The [next] expectation I had going into this job was that I would only be looking for very obvious bugs [but] the software is so much more complex than I knew then. I am sure now that there are a lot of random ways things could go wrong and it is not just like proofreading a page and making sure everything looks right. It's checking the functionality in the processes and there's a lot more to it. You learn it as you go.”
Her videos are very refreshing. Most of them are focused on the lifestyle and the realities of working remotely in the IT field. She also provides personal insights and tips.
If you are new to the industry, I highly suggest you follow her Youtube channel, Madeline Elaine. Her honest thoughts and opinion about being a QA Tester will definitely help you determine if this career is right for you.
