Lead the QA Team First and foremost, QA leads are responsible for leading their team. This often involves resolving conflicts between individual team members or even between different teams. QA leads also mentor their team and motivate them during both the stressful times and the slow times on the job.
Define Testing Standards and Strategies QA leads define testing strategies to ensure the product being released is up to industry and company standards. QA leads create testing plans, including individual testing phases, and ensure the team meets the deadlines set forth in those plans. In order to maintain deadlines, QA leads also evaluate the team throughout the life of the project to identify areas where improvement can be made.
Manage Risks As there is always a certain level of risk involved in releasing a new product or service, the QA lead identifies risk and creates plans to mitigate it. QA leads also hold regular team meetings to identify new risks as testing phases are completed and create new mitigation plans on the fly. Leads also encourage their team members to do the same.
Improve Processes Since QA leads are often involved in every aspect of product development, they are always on the lookout for ways to improve the company’s current processes to make them more efficient. When problems with processes are identified, leads communicate their new ideas to the different teams involved in the project, including engineers and marketing departments.
Report to Upper Management Throughout all phases of product development, QA leads report progress, plans, and problems to upper management and other involved parties. Leads also ask for feedback from upper management and implement the suggested changes in as efficient a way as possible.
QA Lead Skills and Qualifications
QA leads should be detail oriented and organized, able to track multiple aspects of a project simultaneously. The amount of education a QA lead needs depends greatly on the industry; some roles require a bachelor’s degree while others require certain certifications.

QA Lead Education and Training
The education requirements for QA leads vary depending on the industry. Degrees are typically required in industries such as healthcare and software, while certifications are more commonly required in industries such as food. QA leads may also need to be licensed in their industry, depending on the state and industry
