Imagine being a detective who knows how to use forensic tools

Create Memory

A light blue background with a white speech bubble in the center containing the quote: "Imagine being a detective who knows how to use forensic tools. Just as a detective needs to understand evidence collection techniques without necessarily being a forensic scientist, a technical tester needs to understand how systems work without necessarily being a developer." The quote is attributed to "— Manish Saini" in the bottom right of the speech bubble.

In the top right corner of the background, there's a circular gold badge with "certification" and "MoT-STEC" written on it. In the bottom left corner, there's a cartoonish drawing of a brain wearing glasses. The brain has a pink, swirling pattern.

In this memory: Manish Saini
