Familiarity with test management tools like JIRA, automation frameworks such as Selenium, and knowledge of version control systems like Git are commonly required. Attention to detail, analytical thinking, and strong communication skills help you identify issues and collaborate effectively with developers. These competencies ensure software quality, minimize defects, and contribute to efficient, reliable product releases.

What are some common challenges faced by junior software test engineers when transitioning from manual to automated testing?
