Atomic Talk Title: Which Path Should I Follow

In this short talk I try to address key challenges faced by test engineers on what is the growth path which exists for them.

Do they all need to learn test automation for financial and vertical growth or there are alternatives they can look for.

Majority of test engineers struggle to find answers to these questions because of lack of guidance or support.

I hope in this talk they will be able to get those answers.

Takeaways:

  1. Testers can grow beyond Test Automation.
  2. Have a mentor who can guide you to choose a path
  3. Scrum Master/Product Owner, Platform consultant, Devops & Cloud Engineer are few paths
