I started working at Google Softvision as Robotics Process Automation Developer. I quickly realized that staying relevant in this field means constantly learning and updating and incorporating new skills, as the challenges that you need to meet as a developer are always growing greater. And already in some cases, manual testing isn’t enough. The role of software automation has changed. RPA specialists should be aware of how the code works and, moreover, how to write it. I don’t want to get too much into the benefits of automation since there are plenty of threads dedicated to this alone: you know it saves time, money, and it’s reliable. But you probably also noticed that lately, it’s in high demand because more companies adopted automation to improve test efficiency and it will become even more popular in the coming years as more organizations shift to Agile. Testers who know how to code and are familiar with tools such as Selenium and Appium are the ones who will stand out.
