Thinking about Quality Assurance testing, Automation and Engineering, but not sure what it's really about?
Imagine you built a toy car. You painted it, gave it cool wheels, and said to yourself, “Oh, it’s perfect!” But before you give it to your friends, you want to make sure it actually works; that’s where quality assurance (QA) comes in.
QA is like checking your toy car to make sure:
• The wheels don’t fall off
• It drives straight
• The paint doesn’t peel
• The lights turn on when you press the button
Now, if you had to test 100 toy cars, doing it one by one would be super boring, right? So you build a robot tester that can push the buttons, spin the wheels, and check every car for you, that’s automation. It saves you time and catches mistakes faster.
Lastly, engineering is what helps you build better toy cars and better robot testers. Engineers design the systems that make everything work smoothly, from how the car’s engine runs to how the robot knows what to test.
So in short:
• QA = “Let’s make sure it works.”
• Automation = “Let’s make a robot do the checking for us.”
• Engineering = “Let’s build smart things that work perfectly together.”
