What does a QA Automation Engineer do?

A typical day: You start by checking the overnight regression run and triaging failures as real bugs or flaky tests. During the day you write automation for new stories, test APIs and log defects with clear steps. Before release you run the full suite and give the team a go/no-go status.

How people get in: B.Tech/B.E., BCA/MCA or B.Sc IT; many start as manual testers and move into automation with Java or Python skills.
