    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • My role is to test new features and bug fixes implemented to ensure that they work as intended. Every morning, I attend my team's scrum meeting where we discuss what work we've achieved and what we still plan to do for the day. Then, I interact with developers throughout the day on features or bug fixes.

    Responsibilities

  • 3. Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
  • Yes, I was one of two QA engineers on my team and so on our given issue, we would have the last say on if a feature or bug fix works as intended, and then it would get merged into develop. Additionally, I was given the responsibility to work on the automated tests which were carried out daily.
