Options

- Quick Answer: replies to the customers by email
- Query Application: writes the SQL for the apps
- Quality Angle: designs the logos of the company
Answer
Quality Assurance: helps make sure the software meets quality expectations through testing, test automation and better processes
Why
QA engineers (or testers) design test cases, run manual and automated tests, report bugs clearly and check fixes.
Some focus on automation: writing frameworks with tools such as Selenium. Developers also test their own code, so quality is a team responsibility.
A good bug report has steps to reproduce, expected result, actual result, and environment.
Remember
QA = Quality Assurance.
