The document discusses the future of the QA profession based on lessons from the 2019 State of Testing report. It recommends that QA professionals become versatile by acquiring skills in areas like scripting, CI/CD platforms, security testing, mobile testing, cloud computing, containers, test planning, prioritization, reporting, communication, and working with production systems through techniques like monitoring, data analysis, and customer support. QA's role is shifting from purely testing to broader quality responsibilities. To stay relevant, QA professionals must constantly adapt by acquiring new technological and methodological skills, enabling others to test, and working directly with customers and production systems.
