Counted on 18 October 2026 from postings of the previous 45 days. How we counted, and other fields.
Why it works
1
Count the bugs, and how bad
“Found 37 bugs, 6 critical” tells a QA lead more than any list of testing types.
2
Show manual and automated
Most fresher QA roles want both. One project with test cases, one with Selenium or API checks, covers it.
3
Name the tracker and the CI
Jira and Jenkins appear in many QA postings. If you used them in a project, say so in the bullet.
