In a world of rapid releases, complex systems, and ever-rising user expectations, software quality can no longer be an afterthought-it must be engineered from the very beginning.

The Modern QA Engineer is a practical, real-world guide designed for testers and quality professionals who want to evolve beyond traditional manual testing and thrive in today's Agile, API-driven, and AI-enabled software landscape. Drawing on over 17 years of industry experience, this book bridges the gap between testing fundamentals and modern quality engineering practices.

Inside, you'll discover:

Strong foundations in manual testing, QA concepts, and test design

Clear explanations of functional and non-functional testing

Proven shift-left testing strategies to prevent defects early

Real-world approaches to defect management, metrics, and RCA

Hands-on insights into API functional and security testing

Practical guidance on automation frameworks and tools

How AI enhances both manual and automated testing

The mindset required to break systems before users do

Written in a clear, example-driven style, this book focuses on practical application rather than theory, making it ideal for real project environments. Whether you are a beginner entering the QA field, a manual tester planning to upskill, or a QA professional preparing for the future, The Modern QA Engineer equips you with the skills, confidence, and mindset needed to succeed.

Quality is not tested in-it is engineered.
