In this guide, we’ll walk you through: What QA testing is Why it matters in tech Skills you need How to get started And by the end, you’ll know exactly how to begin your QA testing journey. WHAT IS QA TESTING

Every Friday has a different energy. For some people, it’s the countdown to rest. For others, it’s a quiet moment of reflection— How far have I really moved this week? Not movement in busyness. Movement in growth. Because the truth is, many professionals are working hard but not necessarily moving forward. The routines are familiar. The tasks are repetitive. The results are predictable. And over time, something subtle happens...opportunities begin to favor the people who are

Since 2020, it feels like the internet has been saying the same thing: “Go into tech.” Everywhere you turn; Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, someone is talking about tech opportunities, tech salaries, tech remote jobs, tech freedom. And honestly, they’re not wrong. Some of the world’s most successful people built their wealth through Tech. Yes, names like Elon Musk, Bill Gates, and Mark Zuckerberg built global empires through tech but right here in Africa, people like Iyinoluwa.

By now, the roses are overpriced, restaurants are fully booked, and the last-minute planners are panicking. And yes, it’s too late to book a spontaneous Valentine’s getaway with us. But here’s the truth: Valentine’s Day was never about the flight. It was about the intention and intention can travel anywhere. Whether you’re in the UK, the US, Nigeria, or anywhere in the world, you can still make tomorrow unforgettable, no airport required. Start by creating a “destination” whe

It’s rarely about titles. Every digital product we rely on today, from mobile apps to financial platforms, goes through layers of checks before it reaches the user. Behind the scenes, quality isn’t accidental. It’s the result of deliberate testing, careful observation, and people who understand how systems behave in real-world use. While automation often gets the spotlight, much of that quality work still begins with human judgment. Manual testing plays a critical role in he

This week, something meaningful happened at LEMP! We were officially approved as a volunteer opportunity on Benevity , a global platform used by organisations like IBM  to support credible learning and impact-driven initiatives. For us, this isn’t about a badge or an announcement. It’s about validation. Benevity doesn’t just list anyone. It recognises organisations that are committed to quality, structure, and real value. So seeing LEMP approved there was a reminder that the

January is either flying past you… or dragging you like it has beef with you. There’s barely any in-between. For some people, it already feels like the year is in full motion, plans are rolling, routines are forming, decisions are being made.For others, January has felt unnecessarily long. Heavy. Dragging. Like the month refuses to end. And no, it’s not because the calendar is broken. The real difference isn’t time, it’s clarity. When you know what you’re working towards, tim

Most of us use apps and digital platforms every single day without thinking twice. We click, scroll, pay, book, message and we expect everything to just work. But behind every smooth experience is a phase most people never see: someone intentionally checking that things work the way real humans expect them to. Not just whether a button exists but whether it makes sense. Not just whether a page loads but whether it feels right. Before products are automated, scaled, or launche

Something funny happens during moments like this. AFCON is on. The Super Eagles are playing. Morocco is hosting. But if you listen closely, people aren’t really talking about football. They’re talking about timing . About momentum. About “this could actually be our year.” You hear it in offices. On WhatsApp. In passing jokes. In the way people sit up straighter when a match is about to start, even if they claim they don’t care. Because deep down, this isn’t about the game. It

Welcome to 2026! There’s something refreshing about stepping into a new year, like taking a deep breath after a long season. A new year carries its own kind of hope: the hope of starting again, the hope of growing, the hope of becoming more intentional about the life you want to build. Whether 2025 was your best year or a challenging one, I want you to know this: You have a fresh opportunity in front of you. This is your year to gain clarity, pursue meaningful growth, and mak

Christmas is over. The laughter, the chaos, the surprise gifts, did you survive? Hopefully, yes! and now…a little moment to reflect. Celebrate the Wins (Big or Tiny) Even if your Christmas felt chaotic, there were wins. Maybe you nailed the gift for that one tricky friend. Maybe you survived a long family dinner without arguing. Maybe you just smiled a lot. All wins count. Every little victory stacks up for the year ahead. 🥂 Reflect With Fun What made you laugh yesterday? Wh

There’s something December does to the human brain that scientists still can’t explain. In January — we’re motivated. In May — we’re consistent. In August — we’re pushing through. But by December? We’re all suddenly asking: “Where did I even stop?”  😭 It’s like December comes with its own software update that nobody requested. Your productivity starts moving:📉 down Your social energy starts moving:📈 up And your motivation? It quietly packs its bags and travels without no

This week, Netflix shook the entire entertainment industry by buying a huge chunk of Warner Bros.’ content library, the same Warner Bros. behind Cartoon Network, Boomerang classics, DC animations, and some of the most recognizable shows on earth. It’s the kind of move that makes you pause and say, “Wait… Netflix did WHAT?” But here’s the real gist: this wasn’t just a business deal. It was a power play . For years, traditional TV networks sat on these shows like vintage collec

Hi LEMP family, It’s the first week of December and if we’re being honest, many of us are feeling the same quiet tension. The kind you don’t always say out loud. Because as the year winds down, you start asking yourself questions you didn’t ask in July or September. Questions like: “Did I achieve the things I said I would?” “Did my career actually move forward this year?” “Am I ending December stronger than I started it?” “Is next year going to look any different?” And the tr

One of the biggest tech stories online this week came from a young woman who posted a dramatic “layoff announcement” teary selfie, cardboard box, emotional caption, the usual. People rushed to support her. Recruiters reached out. A Google recruiter even offered to fast-track her. Then the plot twist: She was never laid off. She wasn’t even employed. She staged the entire thing for visibility. The internet went wild. Some called her brilliant, others called her disrespectful,

If you’ve ever stepped into the world of software testing or you’ve simply watched tech evolve from the sidelines, you’ve probably noticed something: There’s a quiet tug-of-war happening behind the scenes.Two approaches.Two mindsets.Two skill paths. Both important. Both powerful. Both misunderstood. And tomorrow, at LEMP, we’re putting them on the same table. Not to declare a winner.Not to prove one is “better” than the other. But to finally answer the question so many people

Sometimes the internet wakes up and decides to dig.And when it does, someone ends up trending, this time, it’s Ezra Olubi , Paystack co-founder. No one saw it coming. Old tweets resurfaced, conversations exploded, opinions flew everywhere, and suddenly the entire tech side of social media turned into a virtual town hall meeting. But beyond the noise, something else was unfolding quietly: A reminder. Not the “be careful what you post” cliché we’ve heard a thousand times…but th

When you see the name IBM , what comes to mind? Innovation. Scale. Global excellence. Now imagine walking through those glass doors in London, one of the biggest tech offices in the world and finding out that the person leading a team there is also the founder  of LEMP. That’s Mrs. Amber, and what you saw in that video from IBM UK wasn’t just another “day in tech” it was a window into what’s possible when vision meets skill. Before she ever founded LEMP, Amber had one goal:

You work hard for your money. But let’s be honest, how often does your money work for you? For many people, finance feels like rocket science. Words like stocks , bonds , portfolios  sound like they’re meant for people in suits sitting behind fancy screens.But the truth? It’s way simpler than you think. Finance is really just about how you earn, spend, save, and grow what you already have and learning how to manage it doesn’t just protect your money, it multiplies it. Think

Hey you, Ever caught wind of Lagos Noir ? Genevieve Nnaji’s new series just smashed global streaming records; hitting audiences everywhere from Brazil to the UK, just within 72 hours of launch. People are talking. Creators are buzzing. It’s Nigeria shining globally. But here’s what stood out to me: success like this doesn’t happen by accident. It’s not just about having a story, a cast, good visuals. It’s about polish. It’s about every line, every frame being tested, improved
