A Software Quality Engineer (SQE) is a professional responsible for ensuring that software products meet specific quality standards before they are released. They design and implement testing processes to identify bugs and issues, ensuring that the software functions correctly and meets user requirements. SQEs work closely with developers and project managers to improve software performance and reliability. In addition to testing, Software Quality Engineers often create documentation and reports that detail their findings. They may also develop automated testing tools to streamline the testing process. Their role is crucial in maintaining the overall quality of software products in various industries.
