Test Managers play a critical role in overseeing the quality assurance (QA) and software testing aspects of projects. In larger companies, a QA Manager often manages multiple projects simultaneously. In contrast, smaller companies or startups may have only one project requiring QA or software testing. In such environments, it is common for another team member to take on QA responsibilities in addition to their primary duties. However, this approach can lead to inadequate attention to QA and may result in complications later, especially when there is a need to demonstrate due diligence to investors, clients, or auditors. In these situations, recreating testing artifacts can require significant extra effort.
