Five signals hiring managers actually care about

Automation keyword coverage

25 PTS

Playwright, Selenium, Cypress, Appium, Postman, REST Assured, JMeter, k6, GitHub Actions, Jenkins — the exact strings recruiters search for.

Quantified impact

25 PTS

Numbers, percentages, time saved, test counts, flake-rate reductions. Unquantified bullets read as generic.

Action verbs

20 PTS

Built, automated, architected, reduced, migrated. Flags weak phrases like "responsible for" and "worked on".

ATS-safe formatting

15 PTS

Tables, text boxes, headers/footers, multi-column layouts, emojis, and image-only PDFs do not parse cleanly.

Section completeness

15 PTS

Contact, summary, experience, skills, education — the five sections every resume parser expects.

02 · How the scoring works

What your score means

80 – 100
Strong

You pass automated screens and hit the signal hiring managers are scanning for. Spend your time on the interview, not the resume.

60 – 79
Solid, fixable

The structure is right. You are typically one edit away — add quantified bullets or upgrade verbs and the score jumps.

0 – 59
Rework

Usually a missing section, no measurable results, or formatting an ATS cannot parse. Fix those first — everything else is noise.

03 · Frequently asked

Questions QA engineers ask before they paste

Is this better than generic ATS resume checkers?

For QA and SDET resumes, yes. Generic tools score against general corporate keywords and miss what matters here — framework coverage, flake-rate language, CI pipeline vocabulary, contract testing, test architecture. The rubric is built specifically for QA hiring signals.

Is my resume uploaded anywhere?

No. Text parsing, PDF extraction, and scoring all run inside your browser. There is no server roundtrip and we store nothing. You can verify — open DevTools › Network, score a resume, and watch for the absence of a request.

Will this work for SDET, QA Automation, and Manual QA resumes?

Yes. The keyword list covers all three — automation frameworks, API and performance tools, manual testing signals, CI/CD platforms, and the top languages. Manual QA resumes will score differently but the feedback still applies (quantified impact and action verbs matter everywhere).

What does a "good" QA resume look like?

Roughly: 5+ quantified bullets, 8+ automation/CI keywords you have actually used, every bullet opens with a past-tense action verb, a clean single-column format without tables or text boxes, and the five standard sections (Contact, Summary, Experience, Skills, Education).

Does a high score guarantee an interview?

No. It means you clear automated filters and meet the scanning bar a hiring manager uses. Whether you get the interview still depends on role fit, company hiring pace, and how well your experience matches the exact JD. What the score does guarantee is that you stop losing rounds to mechanical issues you could have fixed in an hour.

Why five checks and not ten?

More checks would not improve signal. The five here cover 90% of what makes a QA resume pass or fail a screen. Adding extra dimensions would dilute the feedback and slow you down when iterating.
