Honoring #IconsOfQuality: Judy Mosley, QA Engineer

BrowserStack is celebrating notable figures in the testing industry for their contributions to the field. One such figure is Judy Mosley, a seasoned QA Engineer at TextUs with seven years of experience. She emphasizes her love for both manual and automated testing, ensuring every user's experience is optimal. As part of her role, she builds automation test suites for regression testing, educates the Engineering team on current QA practices, and mentors them in building automated tests. Mosley advises newcomers to software development to trust their instincts and keep learning. She also highlights the importance of staying updated with trends and tools in software development by being part of the testing community, attending conferences, connecting on LinkedIn, reading blog posts, and watching videos. Two testing practices that excite Mosley are Component testing with Cypress and Contract Testing. AI has made small but significant changes to her team's approach to testing, such as using GitHub Copilot and an AI assistant in their test management system. The biggest shift her team has made is "Shifting Left," which involves bringing in testing at the beginning of a project instead of making it a focus at the end. Mosley emphasizes time management as a key to productivity, using techniques like scheduling learning and creating time blocks for deep focus. BrowserStack plans to continue spotlighting more #IconsOfQuality who make a difference in software testing.
