- Omg hi friends. How are you? After a long break from filming, I’m back and wanted to start with a little catch up video! I talk about my struggles with work life balance, my thoughts on QA, and other life updates. I’ve missed this community and creating so much and I’m excited to get back into it.
Thanks for watching!!

FAQ:
Did I get a certification/attend a bootcamp for QA?
No, my company hires manual QA as an entry level position and then provides the training.
Do I need to know code?
For my testing specifically, I do not need to know how to write code.
Am I manual or automation QA?
Manual
Hi friend! My name is Madeline and I’m a 27 year old who is passionate about intentionally creating a life I love living. I make videos about healthy habits, working as a software qa, and intentional living. Making these videos helps me to appreciate the simple moments in life, and I hope they inspire you to do the same!

So great to see you again! we missed you
You're so kind! 💛
Thanks for the videos. I also work in Software Testing and have been doing it for over 15 years.
Like you, I’ve had a few crises over the years. I’ve thought of changing careers a few times to try something new but I still enjoy the job and fortunately have had a very organic career growth with mostly the same team members and team leaders. There’s always something to learn. Glad that you see yourself doing this for years to come.
Cool to hear from you !
Awesome. Welcome back
Welcome back missed yr vlog
Yaaay! 💜💛🧡so happy you're back! I can wait for more video's. I'm curious about your new routine. It is sooo challenging to find a good balance having a fulltime (QA) job, going to the office every day, create time for workouts, healthy mealprep, time for friends and then having some time for yourself too... and not to forget a good night of sleep as well. Sometimes it makes me think, how is this even possible?
Your video's are magical, they make me love life even more. When I hear you speak it's like wow that's exactly what I was thinking too! 💜
I might literally print out this comment so I can read it every day😭 You are so kind. And I agree doing it all feels overwhelming sometimes, but we’re figuring it out! We got this😎
So happy you’re back!
Awe😊 happy to be back!!
I missed you so much ❤
So happy I found your videos! They’ve helped me see the life of a QA analyst working from home and the office and how you juggle your life.
I’m currently a bodywork therapist looking into starting my transition in tech in QA. I feel like it can lead to different opportunities
A gorgeous queen has returned!
hi friend!! Thank you💛💛
She's back! So good to see this pop up in my notifications and so happy that you're doing well. Looking forward to more content from you! 🤍
Emily!! Girl I miss your videos (totally understand life gets so busy though)! You’re the best💛💛
@@MadelineElaineYT 🥰🥰 so sweet!! I am hoping to get back into it soon. Can't wait to watch more from you!
Thanks for sharing with us. I have an interview in 3 days for a QA position. I'll be switching from customer service agent to Digital QA, I have no clue how the job is done in reality, but I'm preparing for it rigorously, wish me luck
Hi, hope you are well.
How did this pan out for you?
Yay!!! Glad to see you on here again!! We need to catch up soon! Miss you girl!!❤️
Ahhh hi Paige!! Yes we do need to catch up! Your videos have been killing it🔥😍
Great to see you Paige. Just recently I happened to remember you. Hope you are doing well
Happy to have you back Madeline! I love following your lifestyle as it inspires me to continue bettering myself with work, exercise, keeping up with life etc.. I also finished a half marathon in April and haven't run since haha.. Excited to continue following your journey :)
Awe Sarah! You feel like such a kindred spirit to me😊💛 I appreciate you!! And omg congrats on the half marathon!!
Thank you very much for sharing ♥️ Your videos have helped me a lot career wise. I would love for you to share exactly what is it that you like about your job going into the specifics of your daily activities at work. Thank you!! 😊💕
It makes me so happy to hear that my videos have been helpful! I plan on sharing as much work content as I can, the next video (going up on Tuesday) is very QA-specific 😊
I am glad you are well and are back. I am also a QA and I loved hearing that you are happier with your career and intend to talk more about it. I love the way you communicate and having more content about QA from your perspective will be amazing! We don't have much real life QA content around here and it will be a pleasure to watch yours, so "Welcome Back"!
Hi Caroline. There is actually so much content on UA-cam regarding QA and honestly speaking you can learn so much purely from You Tube content. Really mean it
Hope you are doing well Caroline 😊
Thanks for the comment and suggestion, @@vybhaveswaraiah7114 .
I've been a QA for 3 years and I learned a lot on UA-cam in classes and tutorials, etc... But I meant about real life, about day-to-day, feelings and impressions and to hear it from a woman's perspective, is amazing!
@@carolinevillar1 that's really wonderful to hear, also completely agree with your last sentence 😊
Thank you so much friend! It does feel so good to be happy in QA and I'm excited to share more of it with you guys! I'm also glad other people want to hear about nerdy work stuff 🤓😂 Thanks so much for your comment and kind words💛
Hey! Madeline I am so so so glad to see you back and can I get heart comment and reply from you and I really missed your vlogs so so much and I wish you have a wonderful day💫💖🤗
Hi there friend!! It's great to hear from you too, I appreciate you!💛
Please give me heart comment 😭😭
ahhhh i missed your videos! xoxo
That means so much 😭 💛
Madeline, I just opened youtube to actually browse a video about learning a s/w testing tool, the first thing that caught my see was your video and I was really quite surprised to see it. Happy to see you back
Thanks so much friend! It's been awhile, but I'm so happy to be back!😊
@@MadelineElaineYT Glad to hear that. Also really happy for you Madeline when you said you truly love your current QA job. I bet you didn't see it coming!!!!!!
So glad you're back, you have been missed. Please tell us what other roles/careers QA gives you the ability to pursue and that you think would interest you.
Thanks friend! That’s a great topic, I’ll work in including it in an upcoming vid😊
Welcome Back. QA here from the Philippines
Hello!! Thanks friend😊
Just very recently I was checking your youtube channel and was eagerly waiting for your content. I even dropped an email recently just to check on you. Hope you are doing well. Good to see you back.
New Madeline vid just dropped
Would definitely like to see voiceovers. Your voice is very relaxing to listen to
Awe I appreciate that! I've been planning on doing more voiceovers so I'm glad to hear that!
Hi Melissa, thanks for sharing your thoughts. My Journey in QA just started and I’m confused on how to get started (doing some actual tests)
Do you think AI will replace QA's in the near future?
Hi Madeline, thanks for the update. Your videos are so inspiring and encouraging. If I may ask, are you based in the UK?
Why would you ask if she was based out of the UK? The footage of the area she lives and drives around looks nothing like the UK. She's in the U.S.
