Improve your QA knowledge at conferences 2022
QA skills are in high demand, yet many people are not adequately prepared to take on these responsibilities. QA is a confusing field. There is no standard definition, and the understanding of a term can be highly varied depending on the company and what it is they are trying to do. One of the ways to figure out what Quality Assurance means and how it works at a specific company is to attend conferences. In this article, I have selected conferences that I would like to attend myself and which I consider useful for any person who is at least slightly connected with this area.
