The greatest skill of a quality engineer!
Published on October 16, 2025
The greatest skill a Quality Engineer can have is to be like a camera with the ability to zoom out and in of the detail. Instead of diving into something take a moment to think about what they’ve built, why and who for. Then scan through these quality criteria. (functional, reliable, usable, accessible, secure, scalable, compatible, compliant, performant, testable, available, resilient and observable) What’s important from that list? Go with your gut feel then speak to the team. Now go into the detail of what each of those exactly mean. From using this technique of zooming out and in it has served me well in finding gaps and opportunities.
Note: experimenting with short posts on whatever is on my mind :-)
