My manager ask if I was interested in leading a test automation project. My org has hundreds of manual projects that has really started to bother the higher ups way higher in the chain. I agree because I thought it would be a great experience to learn tech outside of development work. It not testing as far as I know as there are dedicated tests teams for testing our code pre production. This is more about writing automation tests through Selenium.
The documentation says multiple languages are supported but the past work in Java which I’m rusty in and don’t prefer but the online courses I dabble in seem okay and so far I kinda like writing the test scripts I written. My title, position, and pay won’t change and as of right now I be solo/leading this project.
My manager says if I like the work there are multiple legacy systems I can continue onwards after this project or go back to development. I know the last guy who work in this area from my team move up much higher on the ladder base on his success from the previous automation project. So far from the initial workload I get to spend alot less time in meetings and having to deal with clients, and get to expand my coding skills. Engineers I know from previous jobs are warning me “This is a bad idea, and I won’t be progressing my skill set.” I like the role but base on outside feedback it seems like I’m talking a lesser role? Am I making a mistake in taking projects outside of development?
