Partner Track: Beyond Traditional Boundaries: The Rise of the General QA Engineer
Thursday June 4, 2026 10:30 - 11:10 EEST
D-Saal
The general QA engineer role is on the rise as software projects become larger and more complex. General QA engineers have a broad set of skills to test complex systems end-to-end, going beyond the traditional QA role focused on component testing. They bring new perspectives by not being tied to one specific domain. This helps them test software more holistically across traditional boundaries.

Key Takeaways:
  •  Adapt. Modern QA engineers must continuously expand their skills beyond traditional manual testing to stay relevant in a rapidly evolving industry.
  • Collaborate. Quality is a shared responsibility — successful QA professionals work closely with developers, product teams, and business stakeholders beyond classic QA boundaries.
  • Lead. QA engineers should drive quality culture, influence change, and become strategic contributors within their organizations, not just testers
