As a QA Engineer, I deal with many forms of testing: unit tests, acceptance tests, visual regression, accessibility, integration, etc. One of the biggest strategies to ensuring a high quality of work is acceptance testing - making sure the completed work meets the stated criteria in the ticket, but also thinking deeper about admin and user experience, and whether these implicit needs are being met by the work. I'll talk about my experience as a QA Engineer for my dev team: how my role has impacted the work we produce; how I communicate with my team and with clients; how to enforce implicit standards when explicit requirements have been met.
