How to Become an SDET from Automation QA | Role of an SDET
summary
Clear roadmap from automation QA to SDET with concrete tools and tasks: learn Maven, Git, Jenkins, Docker and integrate JaCoCo coverage into pipelines, add a gate that blocks builds when test failures exceed 80%, and design scalable CI jobs with Jenkins plugins and distributed builds. Focus Java fundamentals (strings, lists, maps, exceptions), core DS/algorithms (quick, merge, bubble), design patterns (Singleton, Builder), API-first testing, Docker-based test environments, SonarQube and IaC for operational hygiene.
