I always have had massive respect for QA and Test Automation Engineers. They let us feel confident to build and implement new stuff.

Thank you for the great article 😀.

This was quite a honest portrayal of your struggles. To be honest if your thoughts with your current assignments align with those in this blogs then I believe there is a fundamental problem within the structure and process of the team.

Indeed. This was as honest as I could be.

It reflects my past experiences. Nowadays, not so much!

On the bright side, it made me more conscious of quality culture as a whole. Thus now I look at it as "good that it happened"!

Appreciate the comment ☺️

Great post, Sérgio.

I have to admit many companies, frontend and backend developers believes test automation is inferior, but luckily more and more companies think differently.

If a test automation engineer really experience the things mentioned in your post then it is high time to move on and find a company which respects its test automation engineers.

Personally, it was the best I've done—moving to a place where I felt valued.

Appreciate you, Miki Szeles!

I just started writing my first tests for an app I'm building with Cypress and Puppeteer. Boy oh boy did it take a while. Those twenty lines I wrote for a commit took me hours...

It probably doesn't help that devs don't treat testers with respect.

Thanks for writing this article, it caused me to look into something which I often ignored.
