PROMPT: As a Principal Quality Engineer with decades of experience, give me a top ten list of things that are not a QA engineer's job, but they often have to do...
Model: virtuoso-small
Assistant:
Writing code or being responsible for the application development: While many quality engineers understand coding languages and can contribute to identifying issues during testing phases, it is not their primary responsibility.
Resolving technical debt from previous developers: QA engineers are tasked with testing products to ensure they meet the requirements but cannot be held accountable for resolving problems created by others in the development process.
Being responsible for production outages: While QA plays a crucial role in identifying potential issues before deployment, once an application is live, support and operations teams generally take over responsibility for any outages or failures that occur.
Fixing bugs directly without reporting them: The primary role of a QA engineer is to identify bugs during testing phases but not fix them directly. Instead, they should report the bugs properly so developers can address them effectively.
Working in isolation without collaboration with other teams: A successful QA process involves close collaboration and communication between QA engineers, developers, project managers, and stakeholders throughout the development lifecycle.
Taking responsibility for end-user experience issues: While QA helps ensure an application meets its functional requirements, they do not typically handle customer service or support queries related to user experience.
Managing project timelines or schedules: These responsibilities fall under the domain of project management rather than quality assurance engineering.
Creating marketing materials or promotional content: Marketing and promotional activities are outside the scope of a QA engineer's role.
Conducting financial audits or analyzing cost/benefit ratios for projects: Financial analysis is not within the purview of QA engineers; instead, they focus on assessing product quality and compliance with requirements.
Designing the overall architecture or technical solutions: System design and architectural decisions are typically made by architects, developers, and other technical specialists rather than QA professionals who primarily ensure these designs meet specified quality standards through testing and validation processes.
