Hi,
there are a lot of perceptions about computers science/software engineer graduated become, and people always say

“you have to be a good developer if you graduated from computer science”
“you know? the job for computer science is only as a Front-end developer and Backend dev, in portal or mobile”

— kind of dillema :))

I already have experience as a front-end developer, analyst, backend dev, and the last as a Quality Assurance, all those jobs are my first time, I still looking for the best role for me.
based on all those experiences, and the most fav role is Quality Assurance, I don’t know why, maybe this is kind of fall in love with something :). since I heard that a lot of thing about QA, so I decide to be QA and I want to explore more about the Quality.

At the first my job as Quality Assurance, I work on the project “Ceria and Pinang From BRI” I have a lot of experience from this and I realized that not only testing, but we have to make sure the API response, the validation, the performance too. I never expect there is a lot of things QA does.

In my first project, I got a lot of experience with Quality Assurance, the first thing about the test script, test plan, test case, try to understand the requirement well, knowing the UI and purpose, bugs maintenance, and the Automation test.
at this time too, I know about the Quality, the quality is very important to give the value to the company, if the quality of product X from company Y is good, so the people will give the good value to the Y’s Company, vice versa.

I have a little advance about the “Branding”, branding is not about how we want the people to know me as but this about how people know me as.
So if we brand our self as a “strong woman” but the peoples know us as a “weak woman” and that’s is the real actually us, that’s our branding. — Devy Azkia
