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.

🧠 Critical Thinking in Testing: When Things Get Messy

Reposted by LifeOfQA

LifeOfQA @lifeofqa.bsky.social · Aug 18

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.
