Quality Assurance Analyst Jobs in Columbia, MD

A Quality Assurance (QA) Analyst in the technology industry plays a critical role in ensuring that the products, applications, and systems developed meet specified standards and user requirements. Their primary responsibilities include designing and implementing tests, debugging, and defining corrective actions. They also review system requirements and track quality assurance metrics. Hence, their role is pivotal in maintaining high-quality deliveries, reducing errors, and improving system efficiency.

QA Analysts should possess strong analytical and problem-solving skills, along with a keen eye for detail. Familiarity with Agile frameworks and regression testing is often required. They should have excellent knowledge of quality assurance terminologies, tools, and processes. Certifications like ISTQB (International Software Testing Qualifications Board), CSTE (Certified Software Tester), or CSQA (Certified Software Quality Analyst) are highly valuable. Prior to becoming a Quality Assurance Analyst, an individual might have roles such as Software Tester, Junior QA Analyst, or even a Software Developer.
