Testing isn’t just logic.
It’s living with uncertainty.
✅ Automation says “all green.”
🤔 Experience says “don’t trust it blindly.”
That tension is what makes testers valuable.

Testing isn’t clean. It’s messy, uncertain, full of hidden risks.
Critical thinking helps us catch what others miss — even when nothing looks wrong.
Don’t just check. Investigate.

I’m not an SDET. I’m not a programmer.

But I still built a system-level test flow that provisions VMs, installs agents, checks services, and validates behavior on the dashboard — because no one else was doing it.

Blog coming soon....

Testing isn’t just tools. It’s mindset.

Testing doesn’t prove software is bug-free.
It only shows what you looked for — not what you missed.

It’s like shining a flashlight in a dark room:
You see what’s in the beam, but the shadows still hide surprises.
