Responsibilities & Emerging Skills Required For Quality Assurance Professionals

Responsibilities & Emerging Skills Required For Quality Assurance Professionals If you work in quality assurance, you can understand how quickly things are changing in your field of work. The rapidly emerging technologies are beginning to change the nature of your work. Blockchain, IoT, machine learning, etc. are just to name a few. These technologies are certainly going to impact your career in one form or another. Therefore, you can prepare yourself by enrolling in a quality management course!

The emerging skills for a quality assurance professional should include​: 1. ​Understanding, Interpreting, and Communicating data​: All the new technologies are positioned dramatically to influence quality assurance.

Blockchain has largely decentralised data, and IoT is collecting data in real-time throughout the product manufacturing process. AI and ML collect massive amounts of

information, and RDIF tracking allows for tracking inventory located in the supply chain.

All the data and statistics have always played a role in quality assurance. Incorporating one of these technologies into your company’s quality assurance processes has the potential to dramatically increase the amount of data collected during the production and transportation of your product. Therefore, quality assurance workers need to have the ability to understand and interpret the data to have an advantage over those who do not.

2. ​Increased Project Management Skills​: Project management skills are essential in the early stages of implementing a quality assurance process and protocols. Implementing any of the new technologies can have an impact on the work done by quality assurance teams, which will be no easy feat for the average operation. Incorporating them in the supply chain will require a holistic understanding of both the QA process as well as a solid foundation in project management. Earning a certificate through a quality management training course will make it easier to demonstrate later that you’re the go-to person to lead the project.

3. ​Domain Expertise​: Professionals working in quality assurance need at least a good understanding of the technical processes of their organisation, to help determine whether a product is up to standard. In the event products are substandard, this knowledge will also allow you to pinpoint where in the process the problem originated. Genuinely understanding each step of supply change will help members of quality assurance team to identify weaknesses, proactively resolve issues, and boost the bottom line for their organisation in a way that even the most advanced technology can’t yet do.

4. ​Human Literacy​: A complete understanding of how the product impacts human beings who use the product is crucial for an effective quality assurance role. The ability to think like a human helps to understand the problem better. Though technologies are getting better, they are limited. It is the human behind these tools, making them work in the right way and curating connections for quality assurance to stay effective. The ability to transform big data into actionable information requires human intellect.

Conclusion​: Emerging technologies will have a tremendous potential to reshape the way quality assurance works. To stay competitive in the field, you need to be trained in ​leadership and management courses to get a better hand of it. To truly robot-proof your career, you need to embrace the human element to do the things technology cannot do.
