LinkedIn headline examples for QA engineers
QA headlines should signal automation skill, not just manual testing. Recruiters search for frameworks (Selenium, Cypress) and for coverage and defect-reduction metrics.

"QA Engineer | Detail-focused tester"
"QA Automation Engineer | Selenium + Cypress | Cut regression time 80% with 600+ automated tests"
"Software tester"
"QA Engineer | API + Performance Testing | Caught 95% of defects pre-release across 4 products"
