End to end testing

I'm learning a lot more about SQL and Oracle lately. We had some test requests to test interfaces from our store database to our Oracle database. I have absolutely no experience with Oracle beyond looking up what has replicated to it. But the queries to Oracle are ridiculous. So many decodes and unions, I have have no idea what's going on. I have to trust our senior analyst knows what she's doing.

And that leads me to my next thought. I love my team. We are only five strong but four of us are women. And the dev team has women on it too. I have contemplated maybe going to another team to focus on security. But I'm afraid to bounce around teams. I'm pretty loyal to my supervisor and I'm not sure how it would look. I'm so new to all of this career thing. So, I'm going to stick around in QA for now and learn as much as I can.

On the note of learning QA, I'm looking into classes and certifications. I have no idea what organization to go through or if I want to do QA or software testing. Finals week is coming up and I keep just adding to my stress. Thank goodness for yoga and coffee.
