I am working as a software quality analyst in a startup, responsible for manual testing on multiple websites simultaneously. My manager doesn’t require detailed documentation like test cases or test scenarios. Instead, they want a well-elaborated bug report, which I am providing efficiently. However, I am concerned that this lack of documentation might affect my career when transitioning to a larger company that requires proper QA documentation.

What I have tried:

• Maintaining minimal documentation for my reference.
• Focusing on detailed bug reports.

Questions:

• How can I balance the need for thorough documentation with the constraints of being the only QA engineer in a startup?
• Are there best practices or tools that can help streamline this process?
• Will this lack of formal documentation skills affect my prospects in larger companies, and how can I mitigate this?

Any advice or best practices would be greatly appreciated.
