Ahmed El-Deeb

I am a Software Quality Assurance Manager, mentor, author, and software industry columnist with experience leading QA strategy, release quality, test process improvement, and cross-functional quality initiatives in large-scale software environments.

I help QA engineers, testers, and aspiring QA leaders grow beyond execution-focused testing into more strategic and impactful quality roles. My mentoring focuses on QA interview preparation, test planning, release quality, risk-based testing, stakeholder communication, automation strategy, AI in testing, and career growth toward senior QA, QA lead, or QA manager positions.

I am the author of Beyond QA Interview and a Software Industry columnist for ACM SIGSOFT Software Engineering Notes, where I write about software quality, QA leadership, AI in testing, and the gap between software engineering theory and real industry practice.

My mentoring style is practical, structured, and outcome-focused. I help mentees understand their current gaps, improve their professional confidence, and build a clear path toward becoming more credible, strategic, and respected software quality professionals.
