Growing as a tester isn’t just about getting better at the technical stuff. As a consultant, you also need to handle different situations and adapt to each team you work with. Testers often play a key role in catching issues before a product reaches users—but the real impact comes when you’re involved from the start. Being part of the team early helps make sure the product stays on track and meets its goals. If you want to become the kind of tester a team can’t do without, you need to stay engaged, speak up, and take initiative.
Henrik Kjellberg has written a guide that shows the way to exactly this. His "7 Strategies to Become a Better Tester" offers valuable insights on how you can become an integral part of the team, take on greater responsibility, and transform yourself into a key player who contributes to the success of both the product and the team.
