You can list “test case writing” on your resume—but can you show what that looks like? A strong beginner QA portfolio should include: ✅ One sample requirement ✅ Positive and negative test scenarios ✅ Detailed test cases ✅ Expected versus actual results ✅ At least one professionally written defect ✅ A simple requirements traceability matrix The job market is competitive. Your portfolio gives recruiters proof that you understand how QA work is actually performed. This week inside HPM TechUp, we’re focusing on turning what you’ve learned into evidence employers can see. QA Tip of the Day: Every test case should trace back to a requirement, user story, acceptance criterion, or identifiable risk.

If you have "CLAUDE" here is a prompt that will get applications going. This is for those that have a resume already created for this type of position. You can also change it up to your target role and minimum pay you desire? I have imaged below my AI Agent applying for jobs for me. PROMPT: Create an AI job-search agent that finds and assists me with applying to legitimate remote Manual QA jobs worldwide paying at least $90,000 USD annually or $50/hour. Use my 12 years of QA experience in manual, functional, regression, integration, system, UAT, API, and payment-processing testing. Prioritize roles using Jira, Confluence, HP ALM, TestRail, Qase, Postman, SQL, Agile, test-case development, defect management, and requirements analysis. For every job: - Confirm it is open, remote, and available to U.S.-based applicants. - Verify salary, location, time-zone, and work-authorization restrictions. - Only include roles where I meet at least 70% of the requirements. - Provide the direct application link, salary, fit score, matching qualifications, gaps, and ATS keywords. - Tailor my resume truthfully for each approved position. - Track application status and follow-up dates. - Exclude automation-heavy, development, management, and engineering roles that do not match my background. Never invent qualifications or submit an application without my approval. Ask me to handle logins, CAPTCHAs, signatures, demographic questions, and sensitive information. Start by asking for my master resume, work-authorization details, and application preferences. Then present the ten best current matches ranked by fit.

Very strong government/QA crossover and one of the safest applications this week. The role is fully remote, supports the VA ESOM environment, and pays $95,000–$105,000. https://www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=3c7a29bf34c9b32c

I used to think GitHub was only for developers. Now I understand it’s also a powerful way for QA professionals to show proof of skill. 🔎 For Manual QA roles, your portfolio does not have to be full of code. It can show how you think, organize, document, test, report defects, and communicate with a team. GitHub can help QA professionals showcase: 🔹 Test plans 🔹 Test cases 🔹 Bug reports 🔹 Traceability matrices 🔹 QA documentation 🔹 Sample test data 🔹 Screenshots and evidence 🔹 README files that explain the project clearly For anyone trying to stand out in QA, Business Analyst, Security QA, IAM Testing, or GRC roles, GitHub can become more than a code platform. It can become your proof-of-work portfolio. Manual QA is not “just testing.” It is organization, documentation, traceability, collaboration, and testing discipline. ✅ #ManualQA #QualityAssurance #SoftwareTesting #GitHubPortfolio #QATesting #TechCareers #BusinessAnalyst #SecurityQA #WomenInTech #CareerGrowth #TestingCommunity #QAEngineer
