I have been a QA Automation Engineer for six years....and you are exactly right on all points! However, work-life balance, I have not had a problem with. In fact, in most of my positions, I've had significant downtime. At one large company, I had so much downtime that I created my own landing page for the project we were working on.....my manager saw this and promoted me to a junior dev LOL. I lasted a year and went back to automation because I liked that better...and it provided a better work life balance than being a dev. What helped me deal with this "dark side" of automation is being a direct (and firm) communicator. I tell all parties involved what to expect and what can and cannot be done. I came from the banking industry and noticed in tech that many people are not direct or set proper expectations. The trick is to do so tactully but with firmness and then you are all set....this will be the greatest job in the world once you master that!
I'm a software developer and I write automation test cases too. I feel happy when I write a selenium web test. Sometimes when I see my commits the actual code change would be a line or two and test case would be ~50 lines. In agile we don't differentiate developer and tester as such both are same. May be the teams are not agile in a way if your visibility is effected so to say.
Bro as you have experience of 12 years then you should understood till date that these are the parts of our proceess where some misses and some of them we catch
The only dark side of testing is getting job. Right now is pretty hard to get a job as jr developer. So indians found other way. Testing opened door for them to it even without education. After 1-3 yrs they change cv changing testing details to developer exp and starting looking for a job as developer with few years expirence as developer. With all respect but i see this trend from past few years.
Not about 100% automation, we cannot do 100% testing as well! As a QA Engineer, I can say, no software is bug-free and no software can be tested completely!
@@TheTestingAcademy @tubesrrt is wrong in what he wrote in here, don't u think? But u r the master so if u think im wrong, plz prove cause i can very easy do it to get my point. Few moments ago you just comment my opinion saying 'don't generalise it' - ditto... I'm just trying to get also how is that possible that u r so nice in vids and opposite via email? But its different story.
@@reasoning6353 stop repeating or re-read your source and try to understand ;) looks like im a superman cause able to break you universal truth. But no worry, its normal for beginners to not look out of the box. When you'll grow u'll get it. Just keep diggin and u'll get my point, i promise.
As my favorite saying goes... It's Automation, Not Automagic! Now, think about ways to resolve each of these issues listed. Besides, these problems are common to all of testing work and not just specific to Automation in Testing. And I've been in Software Testing for over 35 years, with 30 working with Automation on various projects. I've done multiple presentations at conferences over the years on this. It comes down to communication and setting proper expectations up front. And even then, these things will still happen. Nature of the game, folks.

Blame magnet... So true every point. If there is bug, you are blamed. But if things work correctly, credit is not given. It was part of task.

Nature of job is like that, we are one issue away from blaming us. No other choice other than being proactive
Somewhat true, But overall, It has positive side too.
Correct, I can understand as a QA.

U r wrong but read or check some more tutorials and u get it.

Its a universal truth we cannot do 100% testing we can only minimize no of bugs

That’s the reason QA’s should perform both Manual as well as automation because both has its own importance
Exactly! Human observation helps a lot to track issues, as we have no limit on how to test a SW (depends on person as well)
lots of challenges.... still we love to do... what we are doing....
