Sometimes, despite all the data and testing scripts, you get a feeling that something isn’t quite right. This is the tester’s intuition—a combination of experience, knowledge, and instinct. Knowing when to trust this gut feeling can be the difference between catching a critical bug and letting it slip through to production.
Intuition often comes into play when dealing with edge cases or scenarios that automated tests might not cover. A seasoned QA tester develops an almost sixth sense for where bugs are likely to hide. This skill is honed over time, with every bug found (or missed) contributing to a deeper understanding of the product and its potential pitfalls.
However, intuition shouldn’t be the only tool in your testing toolkit. It’s important to back up gut feelings with data and thorough exploration. When your instincts tell you something is off, dive deeper, investigate further, and use your findings to inform the rest of the team. The combination of intuition and evidence is a powerful force in the pursuit of software quality.

When your gut says there's a bug, but you can’t find it… yet
