The stereotype that QA is 'women's work' is harming the industry.
- uponcoffee 6y agoCan you point me to any examples of that stereotype? Historical employment figures, long form discussions, etc? I've genuinely never heard of that one, and considering the dominant solution in this space is Postman an alternative, female gendered solution could be argued as inclusive.
- Minor49er 6y agoI've been in web development for over a decade and have never heard of this. All of the QA teams that I've worked with in the past have never showed any preference for one gender over the other.
- treis 6y agoQA and BAs skew slightly female but not really all that much. It's just a stark contrast to devs that skew pretty overwhelmingly male.
