Thoughts on the Second Annual 'State of Testing' Survey Results released by Sauce Labs

What is the relationship at your company between DEV and QA like:

• Or Writer and Copyeditor?

Coding isn't the hard part of my role of being a brand-new automation engineer. Although I'm in my forties getting into development for the first time, I am actually doing okay -- in spite of always stressing out about the fact that grad school was a decade ago. I’ve now been writing automation scripts in Java and WebDriver for a year coming this March. Do anything for a year and you start becoming more comfortable with it.

It's keeping up with the latest trends in automated software testing, now that is the hard part!
