Eureka! I Won’t Be an Automation Tester

About the talk

I’ll discuss how brave curiosity and self-awareness helped me discover my strengths and explore new professional paths. I’ll highlight the importance of support networks and mentoring programs in building confidence. Finally, I’ll present fulfilling alternative roles in testing—like exploratory testing, test management, and quality advocacy—that can be just as impactful and rewarding.
