What tools do I use

Here is a list of tools that are kinda usefull:

1. Notepad => probably the most important tool. Every time I have to test something, I open it first. When testing, I take notes on everything that seems suspicious. If I find a bug, I document it. If I have questions, I write them down. This way, after testing, I have a list of things to review and discuss with other team members.
2. DevTools => another essential tool. If you’re unfamiliar with DevTools, I recommend watching Dominika’s excellent presentation on the topic.
3. Snagit => my favorite tool for capturing screenshots and videos.
4. Chat GPT => we live in great time, use that tool!
   • Problem with making test data? Ask AI.
   • Problem with writing SQL query? Ask AI.
   • Problem with writing email? Ask AI.
   • Problem with writing automation code? Ask AI.
   • Problem with new tool? Ask AI.
5. StackOverflow => If AI doesn’t provide the solution, I still find StackOverflow to be a helpful resource.
6. Postman => an easy way to work with APIs.
7. VSCode => great tool for viewing project code.
8. Excel => I would add ‚Office’, not only ‚Excel’, anyway may be very usefull.

And yes I’m aware there are many more tools, or similar tools (but better). But that doesn’t matter. What I’m trying to say by this list is that there is no need to have many tools. If I were left with only a notepad, I believe I would still be capable of doing what I do. It might just take a little more time.
