Specialist
A Specialist in software testing is someone with a depth of knowledge, technical skill or even expert level understanding of a testing type. Some well known examples of testing types that have specialists are security, performance, automation, accessibility and more lately AI (both testing AI applications and the ML (machine learning) and LLMs (large language models) that power AI tools).
A specialist is someone who chooses to focus on a set of skills they are passionate about to become a respected mentor and advisor in those skills.
In the context of software testing, I think of a specialist as someone who is the go-to person for a particular area / topic / technique, etc. A person who is often associated with something specific, because of the level of skill / experience they have in it. A specialist will typically be able to consult on, educate, and train people on the given topic.
