Familiarity with automated testing tools (like Selenium or Cypress), version control systems (such as Git), and QA certifications are commonly expected. Attention to detail, critical thinking, and effective communication help individuals excel in identifying issues and collaborating with developers and designers. These combined skills ensure that web products are released with optimal functionality, usability, and cross-browser compatibility.
