Soft Skills Matter Just as Much as Technical Skills in Software Testing As a #software #tester, it's not enough to just be good at finding bugs. We also need to be able to communicate effectively with our clients and team members. When I was in college, I could sometimes skip presentations by missing class. But in work, we can't just skip important meetings with clients. We have to be able to explain the system, point out issues, and suggest solutions. That's why developing our soft skills is so important. By improving our communication, problem solving, and teamwork abilities, we become more valuable to our employers. We get more opportunities to shine and showcase our expertise. But soft skills aren't just important for our full-time jobs, they're also important if we want to do freelance work. As #freelancers, we have to manage the client relationship directly, which requires excellent communication and people skills. Strong soft skills help us, ??Land clients ??Deliver great work ??Build a successful freelance business. Sure, technical skills are important. But soft skills allow us to apply those technical skills in the real world. They help us, ??Build trust ??Better collaboration ??Deliver more value to our clients whether they're our employers or our freelance customers. So as software testers, let's not ignore our soft skills. Let's work on becoming great communicators, problem-solvers, and team players. That's the path to long-term success in this field, whether we're working in-house or striking out on our own. #softwaretesting #testing #qualityassurance #linkedin #post

**My First Freelance Project as an SQA Engineer: A Journey in Manual Testing Taking on my first freelance project as a Software Quality Assurance (SQA) engineer was both exciting and nerve-wracking. The project was for a customer who needed a reliable application to meet their specific requirements. This was my opportunity to prove myself and establish a solid foundation for my freelancing career. **Diving into the Project When I first received the project, I was eager to understand every detail. I spent considerable time reviewing the project requirements, studying the application, and communicating with the customer to clarify their expectations. These initial conversations were crucial in ensuring I had a clear picture of what needed to be done and how best to approach it. **Crafting a Testing Plan With a solid understanding of the project, I moved on to creating a testing plan. This felt like preparing for a big adventure. I started by outlining a detailed test plan that included our objectives, scope, and the resources needed for testing. Writing test cases was the next step. Each test case was a meticulous guide to ensure every functionality of the application was covered. I wanted to leave no stone unturned in my quest to deliver a high-quality product. Setting up the test environment was another key task. I made sure it closely resembled the production environment, configuring all necessary hardware, software, and network settings. **Executing Manual Tests Now came the heart of my work: executing manual tests. Following the test cases I had written, I verified each part of the application step-by-step. This involved: - **Functional Testing: Ensuring all features worked as expected. - **Usability Testing: Checking the user interface for intuitiveness and ease of use. - **Regression Testing: Re-running tests to ensure new changes didn’t introduce new bugs. - **Exploratory Testing: Using my intuition and experience to find potential issues not covered by the test cases. **Reporting and Communication Throughout the project, communication was key. I documented all test results, noting both successes and failures. For any bugs or issues I found, I created detailed reports that included steps to reproduce the problem, screenshots, and severity levels. I regularly updated the customer with status reports, keeping them informed of my progress and any critical issues. **Reflecting on the Experience Completing my first freelance project as an SQA engineer was a significant milestone. It honed my skills in manual testing, deepened my understanding of the software development process, and highlighted the importance of thorough testing in delivering a high-quality product. This project was a rewarding journey that reinforced my commitment to software excellence and customer satisfaction.

There are 2 types of senior software engineers I coach: 1. The “software dev turned freelancer” client: - Wants to leverage high freelancer rates. - Has 4–6 years of experience, but no idea how to get companies’ attention. - Wants to build LinkedIn presence for high-paying clients. 2. The “ambitious senior dev” client - Has reached senior dev level years ago. - Has a big budget but limited time. - Has no problems getting a €100k job. - Wants an enormous leap into the €140k range. All senior devs have one thing in common: They need help with their CV and especially their online presence. However, figuring this out by trial and error is way too expensive, considering their salaries. It requires: 1. researching their competition (don't skip this) 2. effective writing on their CV, 3. maximising eyeballs on their content 4. following our proven step-by-step process, 5. and having the right expertise available from us every weekday. Steering your senior dev career is like a daily game of chess - it's all about strategy and mindset. PS. Which type do you recognise in yourself? -- If you're a senior (freelance) dev looking for 20+% higher salaries in Europe - this is for you. DM me 'more' - I’ll get you sorted.
