Although I received my offer letter back on June 3rd, for a Software Test Engineer position at Verily (formerly Google Life Science) it was still thrilling to see in my Inbox:
"Welcome to Google: Hi Thomas Maher, We're so excited for you to join us at Google/ Alphabet".

| "Email: Onboarding at Google" |
The premise of the book was that quality wasn't some other department's responsibility... it was the software development's job. "Quality is a Development Issue, not a testing issue". It talked about having a Software Developer in Test who could:
- Go through the same questioning and examiniation process a traditional QA Engineer would go through
- Be able to correct code that could be improved, such as having functions that are given vague names.
- Be able to refactor code that isn't testable
- Try to focus on 100% test coverage, coming up with an automation plan
- Look at poorly written APIs and rewrite them
- Be able to code with fluency in C++, Java, Python, and JavaScript
- Is more of a "user-developer" where they try to keep the end user of the product in mind.
- They don't code as as much as the Software Developer in Test, but they need some fluency.
- They implement the automation plan and write the test scripts.
"After reading this book, and seeing it mentioned more and more in the tech blogs, I was quite worried. What if this catches on? All of my experience would be obsolete. The following year, I made sure to gain exposure to the automated testing world at my company".Five years later, I (somehow) managed to land a position at a Google/Alphabet company. Wish me luck! I start June 15th.
Happy Testing!

As a student, it would be hard for you to easily trust any online sites for getting the best thesis help as it would be a vital part of your academic career. Several false companies would give you the worst experience, so you need to do proper research about the company before hiring it. But, you need to choose a professional company providing the best thesis helper who guarantees their work and the quality of writing they’ll provide. It can be dangerous if you hire an unknown company for thesis writing, and there’ll be possibilities of losing money. You must check the reviews of the companies online that the actual customers provide. Also, various companies have different prices for the services they offer you can compare them and choose the best one as per your requirements.
