Time/week spent: 5h - 20h

Initially, time was spent learning testing tools and methodologies, setting up testing environments, and networking to find clients. As experience grew, more time was dedicated to actual testing work, writing reports, and communicating with clients. The time spent was more consistent once a steady workflow was established. Online communities suggest that time commitment varies, with some spending more time upfront to build skills and client relationships, while others maintain a steady part-time schedule.
