Quality assurance testers hold a unique and pivotal role within any development team. Their deep understanding of the application’s functionality often surpasses that of other team members. This expertise stems from their continuous engagement with the application through rigorous and repetitive testing processes. As a result, QA testers are not only adept at identifying and resolving issues but also possess the capability to explain the end-to-end process to end users with clarity and precision. In agile teams, while developers and business analysts may take around two months to gain functional knowledge, testers typically acquire the same knowledge in just one month. This rapid learning curve highlights the irreplaceable nature of functional knowledge, which remains crucial even in the age of AI where technical skills can be quickly replaced.
