I am a really good manual tester who can also act as an SME, something which is always needed. Automated tests can't think out of the box, but I can. The value I provide is exactly that - Thinking out of the box, plus reasoning with the BAs and Devs, and asking questions not only on code, but also on design. I provide valuable feedback on user experience, and I am savvy to ask the right questions and contribute to the product rather than acting as a bottleneck. Once I understand the system well, I can advocate the automation engineers on the scope of automation as well.
Listed skills include Business Analysis, Test Management, Test Planning, Testing, and 45 others.
