Software architecture has a bigger impact on our QA&Automation efforts, I will walk you through the struggles and how to overcome them. When we are approaching the test design phase and the automation framework design phase; We need to take into account the way the software is built. For example, we will test in a different way a system that is built as a Monolith versus a system that is built as micro-services.
Being a good QA engineer these days is not only to be familiar with the latest trends and tools, but it is also to fully understand how the system is built bottom-up, from the software architecture to how each service interacts and behaves.
