I do feel a little conflicted because quality is an attribute of something, not really something we can engineer by itself. However, the title seems to have gained traction over recent years as meaning a broader engineering role focussed on software quality, which I can certainly sign up to. We build and engineer tools, systems, and processes to help us efficiently analyse and monitor the quality of software solutions. Testing is a wide and varied endeavour, but there is real value in being able to quickly get basic quality information about a code change through automation. The objective being to automate the boring and free up the tester to explore more and deeper. | I do feel a little conflicted because quality is an attribute of something, not really something we can engineer by itself.
