Preview of Eating the Elephant: Being the First QA | Cody Pike | STAREAST 2023

Congratulations, you have landed a position as the first QA Engineer at an exciting new company! Now what? Between trying to adjust to a new work environment and trying to establish quality driven rituals and habits, being the first QA for a new and/or small company can be a monumental and sometimes overwhelming task. In this session, we will discuss how communication, compartmentalization, and automation can make an immediate impact for your once QA-less team. First, we will examine how the simple act of being vocal and concise about risks and concerns can go a long way towards establishing a culture of quality. We will discuss how dividing the product and organizing its features will create instant value and provide mile markers to help track your progress throughout your process. Finally, we will examine how even the most basic forms of automated testing can help ease the burden of end-to-end testing, especially as you serve as an army of one. By the end of the session, attendees will leave with an understanding that even the largest initiatives can be tackled without sacrificing work-life balance or your own sanity.
