The third way is to combine the previous options and become a universal specialist. To do this, it is necessary to improve the skills of a programmer and analyst. I want to try myself in Data Science. School and university courses in mathematics and statistics will be very useful here. About stereotypes Some managers mistakenly believe that a tester is a programmer or analyst. They are distrustful of an employee who is “stuck” in testing. But you can't please everyone. Here it is appropriate to recall the Phone Number List fable about the boy, the miller, the donkey and public opinion. I remember an article where it was said that a good tester “has a breaking psychology” They also say that he must understand what the developer did not understand. Personally, I think the difference here is the focus on the product. A developer has deep knowledge of a narrow topic, while a tester digs less deeply, but takes a broader view. The lead or chief tester represents how the system as a whole works and how its components interact. In this he is similar to an architect and systems analyst. But the architect knows the technical features at the level of the developer or better, and the analyst draws up documentation and conveys the customer’s requirements to the development. A very important quality for a tester is strength of character. In disputes with developers and management, you often have to insist on your own.
