Welcome Testers!

Hi there—and welcome! I’m thrilled to launch Bat Tester, a blog dedicated to helping QA professionals think more strategically, test more effectively, and grow confidently in an ever-evolving software world.

Unlike many other QA resources, this blog doesn’t focus on specific testing types or the multitude of automation testing techniques available out there. Instead, it aims to offer a strategic approach by emphasizing core QA principles, actionable strategies, and best practices. It provides guidance to help QA professionals cut through the noise, focus on what truly matters, and effectively navigate real-world challenges

This blog was born from my own frustration navigating through countless scattered QA resources, contradictory advice, and surface-level tutorials. I’ve been there—trying to make sense of it all while balancing Agile workflows, automation suites, bug reports, and stakeholders expectations.

Here, I aim to do things differently.

You can expect:

• Thoughtful takes on QA strategy, not just test case checklists

• A balanced view on automation, exploratory testing, and risk-based thinking

• Actionable insights for testers, leads, and Agile teams

• Real-world examples and lessons from my personal QA journey

Whether you’re new to QA or a seasoned professional, this blog will help you rethink your approach, challenge industry trends, and focus on what truly matters—delivering quality software

I don’t claim to have all the answers—but I believe we grow stronger by asking the right questions, challenging assumptions, and sharing experiences.

As someone who loves simplifying complicated things, I created the Top 5 series—a great place to start whether you’re new to QA or have years of experience.

Let’s start that journey together.

Welcome aboard,

Battester
