The research behind 1,435 quality and software testing job titles - Into the MoTaverse - Episode 7

In this episode of Into the MoTaverse, Rosie Sherry sits down with Brazilian testing leader Julio de Lima to explore the evolution of software testing across borders.

Julio shares his journey from developer to educator, training over 22,000 testers in Brazil, and reflects on how language barriers, limited resources, and community growth shaped his career. Together, they compare the Brazilian and U.S. testing markets, unpacking surprising data from Julio’s research into job postings—including the explosion of QA job titles, shifting automation expectations, and the reality of remote work trends.

It’s an honest, global conversation about learning, leadership, positioning, and how quality and testing people can adapt without losing their identity and worth.
