Within three months, you have gained an understanding of MongoDB's MQL syntax and its semantics, as well as the behavior of our unique query engine and its interaction with other server systems (storage/indexes, sharding, etc). You have begun identifying key areas for testing improvements
By six months, you have established yourself as a key reviewer for automated tests, independently leading the testing efforts for complex functionalities, and demonstrating improvements in test efficiency and coverage. You have significantly contributed to increasing the automated test coverage for upcoming releases
After twelve months, you are instrumental in shaping the testing strategy for major new features, mentoring new team members in best practices for test automation and quality assurance
