The Path to Success Advancing Your Career as a Test Engineer
summary
The presentation introduces the L T T P model — six attributes (later expanded to seven) each with five levels — and offers a self-assessment matrix and spider graph that claim correlation with salary. It details concrete skills: API testing, test automation, reading/writing code, unit and integration tests, DevOps and serverless work, RICE‑style prioritization and cost/revenue calculations. A community repo, assessment template and claimed sign‑offs from engineering leaders exist; one anecdote mentions being fired but told 1.5–2 years would yield C‑level readiness.
