Why do we do Test Automation Internal Mentorships for our QA Engineers?
Uladzislau Ramanenka: Senior iOS QA Engineer at Bumble
Currently, in the testing industry, there’s an aspiration to learn more about test automation. Drivers may be different: get new skills, ease work tasks, etc. But often, what stops you in this learning is the absence of guidance and assistance. Of course, there are tons of materials online, but what to do with all of them? How to apply the theoretical knowledge?
At the same time, with over half a billion users around the world, Bumble relies a lot on autotests. We wanted to help our QA Engineers to learn Test Automation.
The best way to accomplish it, from our perspective, was to create a Test Automation Internal Mentorships. They allowed our QA Engineers to learn directly from the experts and have a better understanding of how things work. With such practice, our QA engineers became more independent and now handle more complex tasks. What’s more, all the learning is shared among the entire department.
Apart from why we did it, I will also cover:
- why we invested in autotests;
- why did we start improving QAs test automation skills;
- why you may need something different from that internal mentorship.
- the other ways of learning test automation for you and your team
Join me in this talk and I’ll explain how you can organize your own Internal Mentorships.
