February 24, 2023 in Career Change to IT, IT Career Program / by Centriq Training

A quality analyst is someone who evaluates products, systems, and software used by a company to ensure it meets the organization’s standards. Curious about the responsibilities they take on in the IT world? We share everything you’ll need to know about becoming and being a quality analyst.   

Job Description for Quality Analyst 

Quality analysts hold many responsibilities within a company that help keep things running. You can regularly find them testing products, systems, and software of all kinds to make sure they are free of defects. They not only execute the testing, but they are also the ones to develop the testing and implement protocols and standards to make sure all the requirements are met.  

Quality Analyst Training 

Training for a role as a quality analyst can come in a variety of ways. One option is to take the traditional route and obtain a degree before starting an entry-level role. However, there are additional resources like those offered through Centriq that can get you caught up on training in just a few months.  

This quality analyst training will teach you all you need to know about applications and systems. You’ll gain knowledge about how things work so you know what to look for in your quality checks and develop IT leadership skills. Oftentimes, there is also additional on-the-job training to help you become familiar with the company’s specific setup. 

Quality Analyst Salary 

The average starting salary for quality analysts is around $67,000 annually. This all varies depending on the location, the company, and the scope of the actual role. While many start out in an entry-level position, those that work their way up can find themselves making more. Like all roles, additional experience and skills can also increase earnings.  

Quality Analyst Interview Questions 

You can expect to answer a variety of questions during your interview. These will cover your background and experiences as well as technical skills. Companies will want to gauge your critical thinking and problem-solving skills. They may present scenario-based questions or even tests that demonstrate how you think and work. Try to have examples in mind of instances where you have performed quality assurance and how it impacted projects in the past.  

Quality Analyst Resume 

A resume that showcases your qualifications will include all relevant projects and work experience and any education you have completed.  

While experiences may vary depending on a person’s background, general skills that the resume should reflect include soft skills like communication, time management, and attention to detail.  

It is also useful to share your knowledge of software and hardware. This can be done by listing out various systems, coding languages, and programs you’re familiar with as well as certifications you’ve obtained.   

Quality Analyst Jobs 

When it comes to quality analyst roles, there are plenty of options out there. You can find roles at software development companies, social media platforms, data analytics providers, and more. What’s great is that they are also in high demand.
