Maryam Umar: How to Advance Your Career and Grow the Team in Test Automation

How do people end up in test automation? Is it a skill people can learn at universities or it’s more of a vocation, really?

There is no one path that leads to QA. What’s more important is that testing is just a subset of quality assurance. There're so many aspects to think about when people talk about signing anything off from a QA perspective.
