Software Quality Assurance Engineer Intern
April - December 2021 • Riverton, UT
What I liked
I really liked learning how enterprise software can work and how the projects for each team are integrated with each other. It really broadened my perspective and helped me to understand what is important to larger organizations. I hadn't realized how enormous databases can be in an enterprise environment for even just one project. It was a great learning experience and helped me to be able to see how the things that I learn in my classes can be reflected in real life applications.
What I wish was different
I enjoyed my internship a lot, though I do wish that I had been able to practice more development work since that was the area that I was weakest in and needed the most experience in.
Advice
I would make sure that you are familiar with multiple programming languages, at least to the point where you can read them even if you can't write in them yet. it is also important to be able to write SQL queries to assist in testing and to understand what constitutes a good test case. You're not expected to know everything after the first explanation so it's okay to ask as many questions as you need to be able to understand something.
