Cloud-native applications function differently from the software you deploy onsite. Testing the software works differently, too.

Test-driven development was supposed to eliminate the need for independent testing. Alas, it doesn't go far enough.

You might be an expert in software testing techniques. But often, QA professionals require industry domain knowledge in order to respond to unique specifications, workflows, or technology adoption. Here’s what to look for, as well as how to obtain domain knowledge in vertical markets, such as hiring talent, using consultants, and taking courses and tutorials.
