Position Summary
You start your day by attending the stand-up of your team, which includes developers, ensuring that testing processes are on track and identifying any potential quality risks. Depending on the day this is from home or at the office. Every other Friday we wrap up the sprint by attending a company-wide demo showcasing this sprint's achievements. During lunch that day, we celebrate the successful sprint with fries.
Post-lunch, you dive into two key tasks: Retrospective and (personal) improvement. This could involve helping other QA team members, refining testing strategies, exploring new testing tools, or addressing complex quality challenges.
