**A QA Analyst in VBT** is a person who has a keen eye for details and a problem-solving mindset that is an important part of the QA know-how. Besides having a special sense for finding bugs, issues, and problems even before they occur, our QA Analyst has to be a critical thinker, which means that an inquisitive mind, as well as the desire to find the root of a problem, are of great importance. Since software testing is a dynamic job, our person has to be adaptable to quick changes and project requirements, which also means that time and task management are key. Being a fast learner is a big plus, having an open mind is a must.
