Welcome to Death to QA — where we chronicle the end of manual testing and celebrate the rise of automation.

My name is JT, and I’ve been testing software for over 15 years. Throughout my career, I’ve worked across a wide range of industries and projects, from insurance and healthcare systems to the high-stakes world of trading platforms, and even the fast-paced, creative chaos of video game development.

I’ve had the privilege of testing in diverse environments, partnering with teams of all sizes, and navigating the unique challenges of each domain. Along the way, one thing became abundantly clear: the old ways of manual, repetitive testing are dying. As continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) become the standard, the future belongs to faster, smarter, and more reliable automated testing. At the same time, there’s a growing reliance on developers to write comprehensive automated tests themselves, shifting quality ownership earlier into the development cycle. This shift empowers teams to catch issues sooner, reduce bottlenecks, and deliver higher-quality software at a faster pace — but it also demands a cultural change in how we think about testing and collaboration.

This blog exists to share insights, hard-earned lessons, and the occasional war story — all in the hope of helping testers, developers, and businesses embrace the shift toward automation. Whether you’re a seasoned QA engineer watching the landscape evolve or a newcomer wondering what the future holds, you’ll find resources here to guide your journey.

Thanks for stopping by — and remember:

Testing is Dead. Long Live Testing.
